{{Short description|Former U.S. army base in South Korea}} '''Camp Sears''' was a United States Army base located less than two miles (3 km) outside the city of Uijongbu, approximately {{convert|20|mi|km}} north of Seoul. The {{convert|32|acre|m2|sing=on}} installation housed military personnel assigned to the Headquarters Battery of 5-5 ADA (Air Defense Artillery) composed mostly of combat support troops. The installation was home to a single combat arms platoon of air defense scouts known as EWSO (Early Warning System Operator), which provided early warning air defense for the 2nd Infantry Division.
Camp Sears was closed along with several other camps in South Korea as part of a downsizing of forces. The land was returned to the South Korean government.<ref>[https://archive.today/20120724163305/http://stripes.com/article.asp?section=104&article=28127&archive=true Update on status of Camp Sears]</ref>
