Camp Carroll, South Korea
- Camp Carroll, South Korea
Camp Carroll is located on the south east portion of South Korea, in Waegwan, close to the city of Daegu. It is named after Sergeant First Class Charles F. Carroll, a posthumous recipient of the Distinguished Service Cross for his acts of heroism during the Korean War.
Camp Carroll is located at the outskirts of Waegwan. The surrounding area is comprised mainly of service businesses (e.g. dry cleaners, barber shops), and caters to an equally American and Filipino crowd, as many of the soldiers are American and many of the women are Filipino. The city itself is a short bus ride from Daegu or Gumi.
Though small in size, Camp Carroll holds a population of approximately 3000. The population itself consists of military personnel, Department of the Army employees and contractors, as well as Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army Soldiers (KATUSA). Warehouses and lots make up a large portion of the location, as one of its main functions is to house war reserve stocks.
A movie theater, Post Exchange (PX), commissary, swimming pool, bowling center(scheduled completion, Spring 2008) and various other amenities can also be found at Camp Carroll.
