Camp Stanley

Camp Stanley is a U.S. Army military camp located just east of the city of Uijeongbu, South Korea. The camp is part of the Red Cloud Garrison which is composed of Army installations near the Korean demilitarized zone (DMZ).

History
Camp Stanley began as a tent city in 1955. The first U.S. Army helicopters moved to the base in 1954 and aviation units were stationed there until 2nd ID's relocation in August 2005. Various 2nd ID units operated out of the camp from 1971 through 2005. The camp was home to both 2nd ID's Division Artillery and Aviation units until base realignment handed command of the installation to the 501st Corps Support Group.

Status
Camp Stanley is currently home to the 61st Maintenance Company, 501st Sustainment Brigade; 46th Transportation Company, and 194th CSSB. Supporting units or detachments include a platoon from 55th Military Police Company, a Military Intelligence detachment, and medical and dental support. 46th Transportaion Company has become well known around the South Korean peninsula. They are the key role of transporting supplies all over the peninsula. Warrior Reception Company (WRC) relocated to Camp Hovey in February 2012, as did the area Combined Issue Faciltiy (CIF). Majority of all the places have been closing down so camp stanley is being said to be a "ghost town."

Camp Stanley provides logistical support to Area I through its 501st SBDE units. The camp maintains its helipads and a refueling station for helicopters in support of 2nd Infantry Division operations. Helicopters fly daily training runs from nearby Camp Casey and Camp Red Cloud.

There is a HazMart (recycling and reutilization facility) on the camp.

Camp Stanley is slated to close by 2016. In line with the ongoing draw-down and realignment of American forces in South Korea. Units that are not inactivated will relocate south to Camp Humphreys or USAG Daegu.
