Comments: Hi There,
My name is Ron Weber. I was at Camp Casey in from March 1967 to December 1968. I am looking for a detailed map of the camp around that time.
Specifically, I was first brought to the camp and stationed at what I think was the north end of the camp. I was assigned to a unit as a tower guard. I remember there was also a canine unit there with some pretty nasty shepards or pinchers, I cannot remember which. I was only there a very short time and was sent down to the center of the camp to HHC and Band as a clerk. I was given a secret clearance and assigned a job as a legal clerk. Here is my real problem. As I was only assigned to the unit right at the DMZ fence for a very short time, I cannot remember the name of it. I just remember having to sleep for eight hours in a barracks that was blacked out. Then I was in a guard tower for another eight hours (around midnight to 8:00 am). I hated it and got clasterphopia sort of. I asked for a transfer and the sent me down to HHC where I spent the rest of my tour. I have been fighting numerous health problems for the last 3-4 decades and just recently found out that everything I had appeared to relate to Agent Orange exposure. I contacted the VA and they told me there was Agent Orange sprayed all around Camp Casey and that I needed to submit a claim right away. I did and the six months later (last week) was denied based on my location. Basically HHC and Band was not on the list of accepted companies for the claim. My doctor and other Korean vets assure me that this is not true. Most, if not all of Camp Casey was exposed to the chemical. Also, the brief stay at the Tower Guard Unit would have put me right in the direct exposed area, but as I was there only a short time, there is no file on me at that location. Also, we camped (bivoaced) in numerous areas, went to the rifle range, and as I used to be an avid runner and Mt Climber, I used to jog all through the camp for the 15 months I was there.
Basically, I just need to know a couple of things.
a. Does anyone know the name of the Tower Guard and Canine Unit.
b. Is there a detailed map show exactly where my Unit was. Part of the time I was at HHC and band, I spent some time (a few months as a clerk) at the motor pool. It was right on a small creek. We used to drink the water right out of the creek.
Sooo, there I am. I apologize extremely for asking such a big favor from a perfect stranger. However, I am desperate to move forward on a claim as I am getting sicker all the time. My doctor and other tell me not to worry, as the Army always denies the claims for Agent Orange on the first try. But I do worry as I want my wife to have an income in the event something happens to me. I am already on Social Security Disability after working for 32 years. I just don't want us to grow old broke. (I am almost 57 years old. THANK YOU SO MUCH for your time. ANYTHING you can do will be most appreciated. God Bless and take care.
Keywords: 1. See "Comment" section below
2. I am also looking for info about an incident when a group of North Korean infiltrators came through the DMZ I remember being called up to go after them, but they were alread killed or taken prisoner before my unit got there. Does anyone remember this. It was sometime around the Pueblo Incident.

Comments: I have pictures of the Grand opening and from the Air of Hill 651 site, Plus News paper articals from the Star and Strips military news Paper. I am able to tell you a lot of ground news that happen there since I was there. I belive maybe a movie or book could be made from this history of hill 651 in the year of 1960 to 1961.
We started on the other side of the mountain with PE75 Generators in a small 4 man tent. The Temp. was around 18 Degrees minus. That was cold, and later in 1960 we build the hilacopter Pad on the other side where we where blasting with dinamite to move rock and bolders. Nearly killing ourselfs from the falling debre. The Quanset Hutt was built after the helo pad and than we build the
Generator shack.
Well if anyone is interested on the pictures and the Name of us who started the site let me know.
