The Post

United States Forces Korea's Main Hub

USAG Humphreys' official mission is to "provide and integrate community services, facilities, and infrastructure for Service Members, Civilian Employees and their Family members while supporting modernization efforts to enable tenant units to 'Fight Tonight.'" That tenant list is the largest of any Army garrison in the Pacific: United States Forces Korea headquarters, Eighth Army headquarters, the 2nd Infantry Division / ROK-U.S. Combined Division, the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade — the Army's most active airfield in the Pacific — and Brian D. Allgood Army Community Hospital.

The scale is the story. Under the Land Partnership Plan, tens of thousands of soldiers, civilians, and family members relocated here from Yongsan Garrison in Seoul and Camp Casey to the north, and the installation grew to roughly 3,454 acres to hold them — the largest U.S. military footprint anywhere outside the continental United States.

Unlike the unaccompanied northern camps this relocation drew down, Humphreys is a genuine accompanied-family post: on-post housing, DoDEA schools, and a Pyeongtaek host-nation community built around a permanent, multi-year military presence.

Where You'll Actually Live

Pick Your Neighborhood

On-post or off — five real choices, honest trade-offs. This is host-nation Korea, so "neighborhood" means a Pyeongtaek-area town, not a U.S.-style subdivision.

On-Post Family Housing

The Army built family housing here for tens of thousands of residents under the Land Partnership Plan relocation from Yongsan and Camp Casey — no host-nation lease, no OHA paperwork, walking distance to the CDC and commissary. The tradeoff is the wait list, especially early in a command-sponsored tour.

Commute: 0 min — you live on the installation

Anjeong-ri

The strip immediately outside the main gate. Shortest commute on this list and decades of military-oriented restaurants, tailors, and shops — more commercial corridor than residential neighborhood.

Commute: ~5 min to the main gate

Pyeongtaek City

The full-size Korean city next door — malls, hospitals, a real expat community, and a KTX high-speed rail connection into Seoul for the weekend. A few extra minutes buys real city amenities.

Commute: ~10 min to post

Paengseong

The town closest to Humphreys' western gates — quieter than Anjeong-ri, a mix of modern apartments and villas, popular with families who want walkable off-post living without downtown Pyeongtaek's density.

Commute: 5–10 min, gate-dependent

Asan-si

One town over — parks, cafes, and local markets for families willing to trade a few extra minutes for more room and a quieter host-nation neighborhood.

Commute: 15–20 min, gate-dependent

The Playbook

Your First 30 Days

01
Square away SOFA paperwork before you fly

Complete USFK Country-Specific Training before departing your losing installation, and make sure every command-sponsored dependent has a passport — you won't clear the gate without both.

02
Four-day in-process at Maude Hall

New arrivals run a four-day in-processing program at Maude Hall (Building 6400) — finance, medical screening, and admin. Bring 10+ copies of your orders.

03
Register your SOFA stamp

Status of Forces Agreement registration is required within 90 days of arrival — put it on the calendar in week one so it doesn't slip.

04
Decide on-post vs. off-post housing

On-post family housing has a wait list; off-post means an Overseas Housing Allowance claim and a host-nation lease. Either way, register DoDEA school enrollment as soon as you have an address.
