Camp Mercer

Comments:

Keywords: I was stationed (or maybe I should say co-located) with the 547th Engr Co (Float Bridge) at Camp Mercer, Korea from July 1963 to April 1964. I was with USACDK (US Army Chemical Depot Korea) and we occupied the two warehouses on the right and the one on the left as you came in the main gate. We occupied the "new" ciderblock barracks just below the water tower at the back gate (which was always locked) and had the orderly room on the other end of the building from that of the 547th which was closest to the fence-line. In March/April 1964 USACDK moved to Camp Carroll in Waegwan (reason Chemical Depot was too close to DMZ, or so they said). We dug a pit with a bulldozer - doned rubber suits and gas masks and dump every imaginable chemical - hundreds of gallons if not more - into the ground on a knoll behind the second storage warehouse on the right. Yet, when I returned to Korea and revisited Camp Mercer in 1978, I saw no noticeable change in the surrounding country side plant-life-wise which I found surprising. Camp Mercer had not changed at all from 1964 to 1978-80 when I returned althought the village outside the gate had. I still have a company crest of the 547th Engr Float Bridge company, tokens we used in the slot machines at the club and lots of photos. I remember the only Special Forces Det in Korea was co-located with us. I am trying to locate guys with USACDK including SSG Earle Foster, Jim Sparks, lst Lt Kem (US Army), and of the MPs including Everly, Grulke, Spears, Connear, Barnes and others. Also would like to contact anyone else there in the 60's. More to come. Ray Bows, M/Sgt retired (Pvt-2 to SP4 back then)

44th EBC looking for help in '66'

Comments: Do any crane operators out there remember being sent to nam in spring of 66 to load and unload cargo around Camrahn Bay as troop augumination, not permanent, from other postings in SE asia? Morning reports were probably kept at permanent base. This assignment lasted about three weeks to a month then back to regular units. Was Agent Orange sprayed along DMZ back in 64-65 or 66? That mist could trvel for miles on the wind. Please help, its been a long time. Thanking everyone in anticipation.

Camp Idian 1976 thru 1977

Comments: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name: Phillip LaCoste E-mail: flip242002@hotmail.com

Message:

I am looking for old army buddies, SSG Andrew Koji and PFC Earnest Fontaine, served together at Camp indian from approx. 1975 thru 1977.

I served in the Combat Engineer's in a small group stationed at Camp Indian from 1976 thru 1977. I was a young, homesick PFC strait from boot camp at FOrt Jackson S.C. From memory, I remember doing alot of construction work, pouring cement at Camp Casey, in the freezing cold weather, and building the collapseable barracks. My greatest challenge was on the DMZ. I was a part of the construction detail at Panmunjom to construct what was then known as the Demarcation line. It was a strip of concrete, approximately 26 inches wide, running East and West between the building's at JSA that run North and South. Beyond the JSA area, we also constructed concrete post approx. 4"X4" representing the demarcation line, seperating North and South Korea. I was at Camp Indian during the tree cutting incident when Captain Bonifus was killed. This was a trying time for everyone preparing to defend the DMZ in the event of an invasion from the North. My heart goes out to those directly involved with the tree incident. I also served at Fort Carson from approx. 1977 thru 1979 and Ft Leonardwood from 1979 thru 1981. My memory might be off a little on the dates so don't hold me to it. lol. assigned Units; 44th Combat Enginner's 52nd Combat Engineer's 5Th Combat Engineer's I am presently about to retire from the National Guard and would like to find my old buddies.

Thank you for this site. Good to see other's on the message board familiar with camp indian. Other names from a distant memory, SSG Anderson, SGT Jones, PFC Whitcomb, hmmm, short memory.
