  • I am happy to see Camp Red Cloud on the map. On the day when the camp was renamed from Camp Jackson, Lt General Trudeau, CG of the I US Army Corps invited President Syngman Rhee and other dignitaries. I was Aide de Camp to General Trudeau for local community affairs. For example, we had a regular meetings with Governor of Kyonggi-do and County Chiefs. I have a color slide of the renaming ceremony of the camp. Dan C Pak
  • I am happy to see Camp Red Cloud on the map. On the Armed Forces Day in 1957, Lieutenant General Arthur G. Trudeau, CG of the I US Army Corps (Group) invited President Syngman Rhee and other dignitaries. At the time, I was Aide de Camp for the General on the matters related to local community affairs. We had regular meetings with Governor of Kyonggi-do and County Chiefs. We helped many communities in the Province to rebuild after devastating war. I kept photographs and color slides to commemorate the events in those happy days. I like to get in touch with someone who served at the Headquarters, I Corps from 1956 to 1958. Dan C.

  • Isn't it wonderful that you happened upon this site! I was a lowly enlisted army specialist working on Medivac (Dustoff) helicopters at Camp Mosier in 1973-74. Also home of the 43rd Mobile Army Surgical Hospital (MASH). Camp Red Cloud was a city compared to Camp Mosier. Where are you living now? I loved my time in Korea and stayed two years. I suggest that you have your photos and slides digitized and post them for others to find. Flickr and FaceBook have many groups involved with places and events. I could help you if you like.

  • My name is Robert F Bauer and I served with the 51Signal Batt., Co D. which was just outside of CDC at the bas of hill in the village of Uijeongbu. I served there 66-67.

  • Wow! I was at I Corps 1956 and 1957 worked in G-3 under Colonel Fitzgerald as a clerk. Others on the Colonels staff included SFC Maniscalco, NCOIC, Pfc Evans - security cage and another Sergeant and unfortunately cannot remember his name. Remember the day you reference and took a picture of Colonel Fitzgerald in his class A uniform shortly after the outdoor ceremony ended. Brought back a lot of memories. Colonel Fitzgerald was the one soldier that impressed me the most. The Colonel was scheduled to rotate back to the states in 1957. One night while I was G3 CQ he came into his office. We had a conversation and he stated that he was going to go up and see how the field maneuvers were going. It was late and the weather was stormy - he said he was going by chopper as he didn't think the weather was that bad and after a little more conversation he left. Later I heard that he did not make it... He was to rotate within a couple of weeks. Working under his command was the highlight of my Army tour.

  • What year were you there? I was an E4 and was in charge of the lab until I left in 1971
  • My name is Ted Fritz. I was stationed at Camp Red Cloud (CRC) during the summer of 1970. During that time, I was a patient at the local hospital with a case of tonsillitis. As I recall it was designated Surgical Hospital Mobile Army (SHMA), not MASH. I have some pictures (slides) of CRC but not the hospital since I was in bed for a few days. I ordered my camera from PACEX. After the summer, I was sent to artillery units (6/12th and I Corps Artillery) at Camp Santa Barbara, north of 7th infantry, where I spent the rest of the year of service until 1971. Nice to hear from others. Mr. Stoner, when were you at CRC? I might have run across you and/or Jerry at some point.
  • I was in the 377 Medical Company 1964-1965. Spent part of the time in the 3rd platoon near Camp Casey
  • Hi Larry, my name is Leo Murgia and I served with B Company, 51st Signal Bn. in Uijeongbu, South Korea from the summer of 1971 to the spring of 1972. I just read that the Army is in the the process of closing Camp Red Cloud. In what year(s) were you stationed there?
