2nd Infantry Division Announces Move of First Unit from Camp Casey to Camp Humphreys

It is slowly happening, but it looks like the bulk of 2ID will eventually be on Camp Humphreys after all these years of delays:

The 2nd Battalion, 8th Cavalry Regiment will move from an area near North Korea this summer, becoming “the vanguard” for a massive relocation of U.S. forces to regional hubs south of Seoul, an Army spokesman said Tuesday.

The announcement is part of a flurry of activity as U.S. Forces Korea readies to finally shift the bulk of its operation to Camp Humphreys in the South Korean port city of Pyongtaek and other areas. The effort has been frequently delayed due to funding and construction problems. The move was originally scheduled to take place in 2008 but was delayed until 2012, then 2016 and most recently, 2017.

The Fort Hood, Texas-based battalion is slated to move from its base at Camp Hovey, which is near the Demilitarized Zone that separates the two Koreas, to Humphreys in July, said Lt. Col. Richard Hyde, a spokesman for the 2nd Infantry Division.  [Stars & Stripes]

2/8 cav is a rotational unit fron ft hood so moving them isnt that big of a deal. I mean they will return to the states soon anyways.

Yes, but didn’t the rotational unit/s replace previous unit/s? Either way, the forces are being reduced from Area 1 to Area whatever. Unless, I’m missing something.

Every time a unit moves, God makes a juicy cry.

Your concept of “God” is very different than what’s in the Bible… 😛

Uriah was at the front. Bathsheba was at home. David was very happy.
