Camp Castle

Camp Castle

Camp Castle is a 48.6 acre, United States Army military installation in Dongducheon, South Korea and home to elements of the U.S. 2d Infantry Division. [ [http://www.globalsecurity.org/military/facility/camp-castle.htm Global Security web site, accessed July 27, 2006] ] It is adjacent but not connected to the much larger Camp Casey. Camp Castle served as home to the 2nd Engineer Battalion (known colloquially as "Two E") from 1972 to 2004 and is now home to the 70th Support Battalion, including a Maintenance/Distro Company, a Maintenance company on adjacent Camp Casey and a headquarters and headquarters company. Additionally, one company from a parent brigade is stationed there (579th Signal Company). The camp is unique in that it is split by a major Korean thoroughfare. The unit's offices, dining facility, and barracks are situated on the east side of the roadway while the motorpool is on the west side. A pedestrian bridge completed in 2002 connects the two halves to prevent pedestrian traffic on the roadway. The camp is only large enough for one battalion and contains several new buildings to include offices, barracks, officers quarters, and dining facility. Currently is it also the most forward-stationed US-exclusive base on the South Korean Peninsula, about 9mi (13km) from the DMZ by air.
