1st Battalion, 506th Infantry

——————————————————————————–

——————————————————————————–

The soldiers stationed at Camp Greaves are in “Stands Alone” country across Freedom Bridge, but Camp Greaves is near Camp Howze, which offers many of the services not available on Camp Greaves. Camp Greaves is less than two miles from the DMZ, and some 38 miles north of Seoul. Greaves consists of 58 acres and hosts the 1st Battalion, 506th Infantry.

Camp Greaves is located just south of the DMZ and 38 miles north of Seoul. Sightseeing opportunities include: Tobong, Soyo and Sorak Mountains are all in the area, as is the Songdu Resort. Also, there are many parks, resorts, historical sites and entertainment areas in Korea. Because of the country’s size and excellent transportation system, all these sites are within a day’s travel from anywhere in Area I. On-post tour and travel offices, Morale, Welfare and Recreation offices, and the USO offer regular excursions.

Camp Greaves is one of the forty-two camps north of Seoul authorized Hardship Duty Pay of $150 per month as of 01 January 2001. The Hardship Duty Pay is paid to troops who are permanently assigned to areas where it is authorized or who serve 30 consecutive days of temporary duty in those areas. Several factors are considered in determining whether a location qualified for the pay: climate, physical and social isolation, sanitation, disease, medical facilities, housing, food, recreational and community facilities, political violence, harassment and crime. The extra pay provides meaningful financial recognition to troops assigned in areas where living conditions are substantially below US standards.

Army Community Service is not available. The 2nd Infantry Division’s 17 installations operate on a hub system that gives Division soldiers access to services not available on their installations. The soldiers stationed at Camp Greaves are in Stands Alone! country across Freedom Bridge, but Camp Greaves is near Camp Howze, which offers many of the services not available on Camp Greaves.
