Camp Humphreys at a glance
Camp Humphreys is a major Army installation in Pyeongtaek and a headquarters hub for U.S. Forces Korea. Public garrison information identifies the Eighth Army and Second Infantry Division among the organizations based there, alongside tactical and direct-support units. The installation combines headquarters activity, aviation and the services required by a large military community.
Its origins are linked to Pyeongtaek Airfield, later known as K-6 during the Korean War. The Camp Humphreys name was adopted in 1962 in honor of an Army helicopter pilot. Subsequent expansion and relocation of organizations have made it central to the U.S. presence in Korea. Humphreys should still be distinguished from Osan Air Base and Camp Casey, which serve different missions and communities.
