40 years ago when I was at Fort Campbell KY my roommate had just PCS’d from Korea and said while by and large the experience was good, he would tell us horror stories of life at Camp Humphreys and Korea in general. After watching this video I cannot help but think that Korea has come a very long way. It looks like a great place to be. My nephew is about to deploy to Camp Humphreys from Joint Base Lewis McCord and he has never been outside the US. I think he’ll work hard, but he’ll have an incredible social life.
Hello I am a Korean Thank you very much for coming to our country and protecting our country for democracy Thanks to your help, the Korean people are safe until now I can't speak English This article uses a translator to write Once again, I am grateful as a Korean citizen for your help Thank you so much "Katchi Kapshida" we go together
I service in Korea 26 yrs ago (93 - 94) (US Army - Camp Carroll - 6th Ordnance Battalion) and I visited Camp Humphreys once during my time in Korea. If there is ever the opportunity for some of us Veterans to visit (I like to call it the new Korea) please let us know. Visiting a place so many years later would be awesome to see how things have changed.
Korean people are so worrying about the withdrawal of the U.S. Armed Forces from Korea. Please be informed that most of Korean people supports the USA and sincerely appreciate US-KOREA ally relationship. We strongly need the U.S. Armed Forces in Korea. Thank you USA.
I served as Katusa 20 years ago. Sad. U.S. Army 2ID is still located in isolated region. But, I am happy to see that more and more U.S. soldiers can invite their families and socialized in S.Korean society. I deeply wish at least they can practice one martial art in S.Korea or inside camp. Our government must dedicate more defense budget for USFK not only for military relation but also for social welfare of U.S. soldiers in S.Korea. N.Korea and Communist China are our common enemies. We go together~!
Served with the U.S. Army 751st MI., in Humphreys from 91-92. The place sure has changed a lot, looks great what they have done with the place! That first Korean hair cut still a thing? Won't give away any spoilers, lol. Have a good tour soldiers!
Red Wolf Music Was there '87-'88 at the 249th Detachment way out in the boonies which no longer exists. I can definitely confirm that there was NOTHING out there during those times. Damn, I was there at the wrong time!
@@jamesdeansghost5531I was in Korea in 85.....bad ass women......if you were American you could get a good Korean woman back then....I don't know about now.....I think its a first world country now....the women might not need the GI's money any more….
So I was there Dec 17-Dec 18, Humphreys is nice, it's a city inside a city, but to say we had a ton of time to enjoy it well....we had a lot of EDRES to go with our work schedules, but we did have some time. The issue is that whenever the Army gets you overseas like that they seem to be good at taking your time, plus mass punishments kept the curfews alive and well. Overall I did enjoy Korea, I'd still recommend it but not for initial duty station, those Soldiers need to learn how the Army works first they really struggled!!
By the way if you are unaccompanied E1-E6 I highly recommend you have a bicycle, the bus system is a pain on the butt, and the cabs are expensive for no reason. Now you can travel the peninsula with the bus system fairly cheap but on post it's not time efficient

As a Korean, I want to make it clear that South Korea is not a defeated country in World War II. We are not Japan, Germany or Italy. South Korea has sovereignty over the territory and infrastructure of the U.S. military base in South Korea. The United States only has jurisdiction and operation of the U.S. military base in South Korea, And the infrastructure within the U.S. military base is funded by our South Korean taxpayers. You can station troops in South Korea because South Korea has voluntarily signed the "South Korea-US Mutual Defense Treaty" with the United States. According to Article 4, South Korea gives the United States the power to deploy army, navy and air forces within or around South Korean territory. But don't forget that according to Article 6 of the South Korea-US Mutual Defense Treaty, either party can unilaterally terminate the treaty and expire after one year. That is to say, South Korea can terminate the treaty so that the U.S. military and its strategic assets can be withdrawn from South Korea and return all U.S. military bases.
Beautiful country and great people. However, It is deceptively peaceful. Officially, the Korean War never technically ended. Although the Korean Armistice Agreement brought an end to the hostilities that killed 2.5 million people on July 27, 1953, that ceasefire never gave way to a peace treaty. The armistice allowed the POWs to stay where they liked; drew a new boundary near the 38th parallel that gave South Korea an extra 1,500 square miles of territory; and created a 2-mile-wide “demilitarized zone” that still exists today.
Yeah this pet transporting shit is serious business. Australia almost started WW3 coz johnny forgot to announce his pet . So I suggest avoid this chit .
![[Report#2] The largest overseas U.S. military base, Camp Humphreys in South Korea](/img/n.gif)

I was 557th there in 96-98 and OMG you are correct lol. I had ALOT of fun over there in those two years

You should visit your nephew in Korea.

안녕하세요! 저는 미국 군인이고 한국어를 배우고 있어요. 한국에 가고싶어요!
I wish I was back at South Korea…. And had a opportunity to live over there.
Yeah This is where I work! Great place. Centrally located. A great place to ride a motorcycle. you can even experience mountain riding.
Off post housing looks so nice I wouldn’t mind lol

Camp Carroll in Daegu, sir?
@@Harvey_Anderson17 not sure if Camp Carroll moved, but I’m talking about Camp Carroll in Waegwan
Better options than when I was there in the 80's.
And better than when I was there in the late 90's!
That's what I was thinking. I was there in 97 might as well been 70s. But I enjoyed it. I rode bike all over the place throughout the country.
Korean people are so worrying about the withdrawal of the U.S. Armed Forces from Korea. Please be informed that most of Korean people supports the USA and sincerely appreciate US-KOREA ally relationship. We strongly need the U.S. Armed Forces in Korea. Thank you USA.
Don't worry, we're not leaving. We have a connection and a history together.
김재희 we the people of the USA 🇺🇸 would let that happen we love 💕 Korea !
I needed this.

Excellent video very informative. It was great to see all the great things the base has to offer.
I wish I can go back to the hump one day! 94R, 602nd ASB 2008!

Camp Humphreys Didn't look OR have ANY of those thing when I was first there in 1984 and then again in 86. Place looks Amazing
Excellent video.
OMG I don't know there is a paradise in my country still now😲😲😲
Things are way, waaayyyyy different from 30 years ago.
Wow. Hopefully I will make it there
By the way if you are unaccompanied E1-E6 I highly recommend you have a bicycle, the bus system is a pain on the butt, and the cabs are expensive for no reason. Now you can travel the peninsula with the bus system fairly cheap but on post it's not time efficient
Wow, night n day from back in 83-84 when I was there
way different when I lived there in early 60's
I’ll admit this. The only thing the Army is better then the Marine at, is housing their soldiers and family with some really nice facilities.

The US Army sure has changed since I joined in 1969!
This Captain looks like he's more of a skateboarder than a military officer. :o)
