History

During the Korean War, the camp saw little action because it was inside the northern edge of hat became known as the Pusan Perimeter. The camp was used by the Korean Army after its liberation from Japan in 1945 and then the United States after the Korean War. The camp was memorialized in May 1960 in honor of First Lieutenant Frederick F. Henry, who served with Company F, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division.
