Camp Humphreys - South Korea

Camp Humphreys is located approximately 40 kilometers south of Osan. Camp Humphreys is a short distance from the city of Pyongtaek, and adjacent to the town of Anjung-ri. The airfield was originally constructed by the Japanese and was known as the Pyongtaek Airfield, during the Korean War. It was called K-6 when the US Air Force repaired and built a new runway to accommodate a Marine Air Group and the 614th Tactical Control Group. In 1961 the airfield was re-named Camp Humphreys, in honor of CWO Benjamin K. Humphreys, of the 4th Transportation Company, who died in a helicopter accident near here. The Humphreys District Command was activated in 1964 as a separate installation command of the Eighth US Army. Later it was designated as the 23rd Direct Support Group which provided all direct support; supply and maintenance; storage of all conventional ammunition in Korea; AG publications and training aides; and operated the Eighth Army Milk Plant. In 1974, with the activation of the 19th Support Brigade, this was designated as US Army Garrison, Camp Humphreys. In 1985 it was restructured to support wartime missions and was designated the 23d Support Group. In 1996 a separate US Army Support Activity for Area III was activated to provide base operations and community support.
