description Yongsan Garrison Overview
Yongsan Garrison was a United States military installation in central Seoul, South Korea. It housed United States Forces Korea headquarters and United States Army Garrison Yongsan until the command functions moved to the new headquarters at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek during the 2018 relocation program. The site is therefore associated with the former United States military presence in Seoul rather than the current USFK headquarters.
