Was there when it switched from 2/61 to 5/5. Got my sgt. stripes there. Randy, don't remember you, but I didn't know a lot of guys there. What was the 1st Sgt's clerks name? Man did I battle with 1st Sgt. Luzader a lot. Never hiked around the camp much, didn't think we could. Made a lot of trips to the village and to Seoul. I also skipped camp for the Olympics. Man what a week!! Would love to get in contact with some of the Dragonslayers if they are around. Y was stationed at CP Stanton in 1988-89. Was there when it switched from 2/61 to 5/5.

The swimming pool that was used for old oil was in what had been RC1 and had already been taken by the ROK's prior to 74. It was very close to Yongugol if not right in it if you took a right at the intersection and went about 100 yards. Te Camp was on both sides of the road. There was also football field on the right side that was used to store old oil drums. I lived just behind it for awhile too. Also.

B Trp 4/7. If you ain't Cav. You ain't ****! Thanks to General Emerson and his pro-life program we ran 4 miles everyday usually toward CP Garry Owen. I also lived in a hooch in the small farming village by the river about 1/2 way between the two for a short time. I don't remember the name. I do not recall any old camps except perhaps by the tank trap where the orphanage was but it didn't look anything like the pic. here. I too was at CP Stanton from 74-76. B Trp 4/7. If you ain’t Cav.

The only intel brief we got was the courier from G-2 who came by once a week to deliver the black book to the S-2 and Commander.

I knew it was 60 something. It was changed to 5/5 ADA right after I got there in Summer of 1987. In fact, I came from 2/5 ADA 2dn Armored Div from Ft. Hood. I worked in the S-3 Section working as the TOC NCOIC in the middle of the motorpool until the Armor went AWOL and then took over that and HHB Training NCO. As S-2 your probably remember having to keep a CUCV warmed up in the winter to go to Camp Howze to pick up intel early in the morning or was that just us S-3 folks at the TOC that did it for ya? Yea, it was HHB and D Battery at Stanton. One cool thing was I took a weeks leave and watched the Olympics in Seoul. As the training room NCO I was able to slip the leave papers through the HHB Commander for signature before they realized we would end up on alert for the Olympics. By the time the 1SGT and CDR figured it out I had already purchased a dozen tickets to wrestling, judo and volleyball and dissapeared down the Western Cooridoor on bus. Yea, 2/61 that sounds right.

I know HHB and a line battery (I think it was D?) were at Stanton. I think the other batteries were: C Battery at Stanley, A at RC#4, so B must have been.....at Stanton also, or more likely, at Casey. But other than HHB, 2/61 ADA, I am not positive. I still remember the "Dragonslayer" and "Clear the skys" response though. Randy Miller, I don't know about after, but in 1984 Stanton was occupied by 2/61 ADA.

No. The entire Western Corridor is defunct. Last I saw most of those camps are grown up in weeds. The only camp I've seen where the Koreans are doing anything with the land is the former Camp Nimble, but that's not the Western Corridor. #26 Short answer.

Do we even control Camp Stanton anymore? I remember replacing the sand bags around the TOC (the building in the middle of the air strip) in 1988 from the ground up. 3 Feet thick and 12 feet high. That is the same time frame we became the 5/5 ADA. I think we were the 1/69th ADA before that, if my memory serves me correctly. I hiked all over the hills around Stanton all the way to Pelham. I spent many off hours hiking around that area and I have a lot of photos but don't recall the shed. I do remember the ammo dump on the way out of Stanton toward Young Gi Gol and we used to come out there on our 20 mile forced march. Wow. Do we even control Camp Stanton anymore?
