Camp Walker is the life-support core of U.S. Army Garrison Daegu — the Exchange, commissary, schools, and clinics for soldiers and families stationed across Camp Henry, Camp George, and Camp Carroll. If you just got orders here, this page is your first 30 days overseas, sorted.
The Garrison
Camp Walker sits in Nam-gu, Daegu, and does the unglamorous, essential work: it's where U.S. Army Garrison Daegu keeps the Exchange, commissary, Child Development Center, Teen Center, and Daegu Middle High School — the day-to-day infrastructure that makes it possible for soldiers to bring their families overseas. USAG Daegu itself spans four installations — Camp Walker and Camp Henry (the garrison headquarters, both in Nam-gu), Camp George, and Camp Carroll in nearby Waegwan — plus a storage yard and pier in Busan.
The enclave supports roughly 10,000 soldiers, family members, civilian employees, KATUSA soldiers, and Korean employees across 42 separate tenant units and agencies. The 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command headquarters the logistics fight from here, alongside the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade, the 168th Multifunctional Medical Battalion, the 188th Military Police Company, and transportation, ordnance, and signal battalions that keep the peninsula's Army sustainment pipeline running.
Daegu is one of only two enduring U.S. force hub locations in South Korea. When the 2000s-era consolidation plan moved most units north to Camp Humphreys, Daegu stayed put by design — it's a permanent regional hub, not a legacy holdover waiting to close. Families here still get command-sponsored, accompanied tours (an EFMP screening comes first) — the mission, and the family community around it, has real staying power.
Housing Reality
OCONUS housing doesn't work like a stateside "pick your neighborhood" — it's a process, not six towns to cross-shop. Here's how it actually goes.
Your PCS Checklist
From your first overseas orders to settling in — sorted by where you actually are.
Report date, gaining command, dependent authorization, and any special instructions — mistakes here cascade into every later step.
Schedule your household-goods counseling session and pick a move type (full move, PPM/DITY, or partial DITY).
Book your packout date with your Personal Property Office as early as your report date allows.
Confirm every family member's DEERS record is current before you leave — it gates TRICARE, base access, and commissary privileges at the new station.
Pull your Certificate of Eligibility now so you know your buying power before you start touring homes.
TRICARE regions changed in 2024 — confirm your plan and provider network transfer automatically.
Many states now have expedited licensure compacts for military spouses — confirm before you arrive so there's no gap in income.

Command sponsorship and an EFMP screening determine whether your family can accompany you OCONUS — start this at your gaining unit's S1 or MPD before you leave your losing station, not after.
DEERS updates, TRICARE Overseas enrollment, and the Housing Office waitlist all key off in-processing — knock it out the first week so nothing downstream stalls.
