History

Built by the Imperial Japanese Army in 1921, what became known as Camp Henry served as the headquarters for Jirō Minami, Governor-General of Korea between 1936 and 1942, as well as Japanese forces stationed in the Daegu area. When Korea was liberated from Japan in 1945, the camp was taken over by the Republic of Korea Army. During the Korean War, the camp saw little action because of its location inside the northern edge of the Pusan Perimeter. After the Korean War, the camp was used by the United States. In May 1960, the camp was named after First Lieutenant Frederick Henry, a Korean War Medal of Honor recipient.[1]
