Camp Mosier (Deactivated) (Uijeongbu)

Camp Mosier, a small deactivated U.S. Army base in Uijongbu, South Korea was named for Army medic and, Distinguished Service Cross recipient, Corporal Billy Mosier in recognition of and to honor his heroic actions during the early phases of the Korean War. Camp Mosier was the home of the 43rd M*A*S*H hospital (of movie and television fame) frrom the early 1950's until it was moved further south in 1976 when the U.S. began to decrease it's presence along the DMZ. While Hollywood identified the hospital as the 4077th M*A*S*H, historical records confirm that the actual Army hospital that the movie and television series was based on was the 43rd MASH. The 43rd M*A*S*H was finally fully deactivated in 1997. When I left in 1974 the 377th Medical Company (AA) helicopters were located in the upper compound and the hospital and support personal were on the lower compound. (mainetc)
