This is the location of the old Camp Kaiser that was in use from the mid 50s till 1972, when it was turned over to the ROK Army.

I would like to know what the name of it is now. The small village to the right of if was called Unchon-ni, but is now a good size city with a differant name now. Anyone know what the name is?

I think it is Pocheon City.
The City Government's web site is http://www.pcs21.net

Yes, I am a Korean.

Thanks very much. I spent 22 years in the Army, and was stationed in Korea 4 times. I was 18 years old when I was stationed at Camp Kaiser in 1961. Do you know anything about what the area on the west side of Pocheon City is used for now, and what it is called? I was a truck driver then, and enjoyed being able to see all of the area between Seoul and the DMZ.

I was stationed near there also in 1970 at a camp called Camp St Barbara, next to a village called Tuam-Dong. I was told that it is not called Tuam-Dong now. Maybe you could help on it also? Here is the location. The area on the west side of the river is what was called Tuam-Dong back then.

I hope to return to Korea some day soon, and look forward to seeing how it has changed
over the years. I was last stationed in Korea in 1982, just north of Seoul.

I think you are referring to Yeoncheon County.
Its website (in English) is

http://www.iyc21.net/_foreign/eng/m03/a03_b01_c01.asp

The small river is called Hantan-gang, which mergest into
Imjin-gang and flows to the west and into Yellow Sea.
The area now suffers from flood due to heavy rain.

These areas (Pocheon, and Yeoncheon) have some resort
facilities such as hot srping, golf clubs, fishing spots, etc.
besides military camps.
I could not find any info on Tuam-dong.

I was stationed just North of Seoul in the mid-sixties at Camp Peterson, just outside Tonggo Ri. Some of my friends were stationd farther North near a place we in the Artillery called "Icecycle Range." Anyone know if that was near Camp Kaiser?

I was a truck driver my first tour, and drove the area almost daily. Best I recall, Icecycle Range was west of Kaiser, and just north of Cp St Barbara. Cp St Barbara had several ranges, since it was I Corp Artillery home. In that same area was Nightmare Range, Rodriguez Range, Watkins Range, and several others that have slipped my mind.

You two Guys have made two old soldiers day . We've been looking at old military maps for a week trying to locate Camp Kaiser and Unchon-ni. The new maps don't identify these names, not even Chorwan. We both served at Kaiser with the 707th Ordnance Bn, 17th Inf Regt, 7th Infantry Div in 1955. It was one miserable Camp. No showers except in the spring/summer, mud knee deep and cold at 37 below 0. This was the end of the food chain, obsolutely the worst chow in the army. This all seemed irrelevant when you saw how the Korean people had to live. My hats off to them for building one of the leading economies in the world. After military service I worked with their fine engineers and helped build Korea's first six nuclear reactors. Thanks again men.
