Camp Stanley is a U.S. Army military camp located just east of the city of Uijeongbu, South Korea. The camp is part of the Red Cloud Garrison which is composed of Army installations near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
Camp Stanley began as a tent city in 1955. The first U.S. Army helicopters moved to the base in 1954 and aviation units were stationed there until 2nd ID's relocation in August 2005. Various 2nd ID units operated out of the camp from 1971 through 2005. The camp was home to both 2nd ID's Division Artillery and Aviation units until base realignment handed command of the installation to the 501st Corps Support Group.
Camp Stanley is currently home to the following tenant units and groups: 532nd Military Intelligence Battation (Bravo Company), 61st Maintenance Company (194th CSSB), 560th Medical Company, Installation Management Command (IMCOM), 602nd Aviation Support Battalion (Support Team), MEDDAC-K Preventive Medicine & Industrial Hygiene, 23rd Chemical Battalion (2ID), 618th Dental Company, 629th Ambulance Company, 560th Medical Company (TMC), 55th Military Police Company, 46th Transportation Company(194th CSSB), Numerous American Civilians, Korean National (KN), Korean Service Guards (KSG), Korean Service Corps (KSC) and rotational units from 1st CAV Division.
Warrior Reception Company (WRC) relocated to [Camp Hovey] in February 2012, as did the area Combined Issue Facility (CIF).
Camp Stanley provides logistical support to Area I through its 501st SBDE units. The camp maintains its helipads and a refueling station for helicopters in support of 2nd Infantry Division operations, USFK and ROK.
There is a HazMart (recycling and reutilization facility) on the camp.
Camp Stanley is slated to close by 2017 with units leaving around May through September, in line with the ongoing draw-down and realignment of American forces in South Korea. Units that are not inactivated will relocate south to Camp Casey, Camp Humphreys or USAG Daegu.
In July 2009 a South Korean court convicted six Korean nationals on charges of stealing $8 million in merchandise from the camp's Army and Air Force Exchange Service (AAFES) stores between October 2005 and September 2006. Five of those were former employees of AAFES at the base.
