My first real duty station in the Army. Back then, it was I Corps (ROK/US) Group headquarters, a field army commanded by a lieutenant (3 star) general. We were half American and half South Korean, the deputy commander was a Korean 2 star general, chief of staff was an American 1 star and so forth. We commanded all the troops (ROK and US) facing the North Koreans on the DMZ along the most likely invasion route. My job was to keep track of spot reports along and back of the DMZ of enemy activity, warn superiors if something happened and write a twice daily DMZ Report that went to the White House, Pentagon, CIA and etc. I was 18 years old.

Thank you once again for your service.

Will this historic base closing be considered newsworthy by the propaganda media?

I spent a year at Camp Casey and Red Cloud was a nice trip every now and then. Seoul was better by far. Seoul was only 35 miles or so from Casey, but it was a good 2 hour trip, Korean roads and traffic being insane.
One rule of the road in Korea, imho: bigger vehicle has right of way.

Big news, didnt realize this was happening.
I can only imagine a “ security theme tourist park”
Like Frontier Land but with a DMZ, guards, machine guns, artillery, rocket launchers and CW gear

I was stationed in Uijeongbu in 1958 with “D” Company 51st Signal Battalion I corps. It appears that a lot has changed since then.
