Camp Henry

Camp Henry, in the southeast of the Republic of Korea, is in the city of Taegu. Taegu is the third largest city in Korea with some three million people. Camp Henry was built by the Japanese Army in 1921 and served as the headquarters for General Minami and the Japanese Forces located in the Taegu Area. During the Korean War, the camp saw little action as it was on the northern edge of what is known today as the Pusan Perimeter. After the Korean War the base was named after Lt. Frederick Henry, a medal of honor recipient.

Camp Henry is managed by the 20th Support Group and consists of 51 acres dominated by administrative buildings. Other uses include community facilities, troop housing and outdoor recreation areas. It is in close proximity to both Camp George and Camp Walker, who share most of the housing and recreational facilities.

Taegu is home to Camps Walker, George, and Henry. A free shuttle links all three posts with Camp Carroll. Taegu is famous with the best delicate, crunch, and juicy tasting apples and textile industries which is mostly exported.
