==Geography== The town of Anjeong-ri is located adjacent to the Camp Humphreys main gate.

The installation covered an area of {{Convert|1210|acre|ha|abbr=out}}, but as part of the Yongsan Relocation Plan that number has grown by {{Convert|2328|acre|ha|abbr=out}} to {{Convert|3538|acre|ha|abbr=out}}. The immediate area around Camp Humphreys is mostly agricultural and consists mainly of rice fields. There are some rolling hills in the vicinity, but for the most part the elevations are less than {{Convert|150|ft|m|abbr=out}}. There is a small mountain range about seven miles south of Camp Humphreys, with peaks reaching 958 feet in elevation. Larger mountains are located to the northeast, east, and southwest, all within {{Convert|20|mi|km|abbr=out}} with peaks reaching to {{Convert|2293|ft|m|abbr=out}} in elevation to the south and {{Convert|1000|ft|m|abbr=out}} in elevation to the southeast. Urban areas are situated mostly to the northeast of the airfield. Seoul is located approximately {{Convert|55|mi|km|abbr=out}} northeast. The Ansong River flows from the east to west toward the West Sea and passes three miles northwest of the airfield. About {{Convert|12|mi|km|abbr=out}} west of Camp Humphreys, the river widens and empties into the Asan Bay, near Koon-ni Range.
The numerous areas of water around Camp Humphreys have an effect on the weather. The abundant moisture is responsible for most of the fog and stratus which occurs in the area. This is especially true from the spring through fall.

==History== The history of Camp Humphreys dates back to 1919, when the Japanese military built the Pyeongtaek Airfield. During the Korean War, Pyeongtaek Airfield was named K-6 after being repaired and enhanced by the U.S. Air Force to accommodate a U.S. Marine Air Group and the 614th Tactical Control Group.<ref>[http://humphreys.korea.army.mil/ history U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys Official History] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20100630195958/http://humphreys.korea.army.mil/ |date=30 June 2010 }}</ref>
===1960s=== In 1962, the base was renamed Camp Humphreys in honor of Chief Warrant Officer Benjamin K. Humphreys, a pilot assigned to the 6th Transportation Company, who died in a helicopter accident.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.army.mil/article/65005/|title=Ground broken for 2 new schools for military families in Korea|date=12 September 2011 }}</ref>
In 1964, Humphreys District command (later re-designated as the 23rd Direct Support Group) was activated as a separate installation command of the Eighth U.S. Army, providing all direct support, supply and maintenance, storage of all conventional ammunition in Korea, Adjutant General publications and training aides and the Eighth U.S. Army Milk Plant.<ref name="autogeneratedmil">[http://humphreys.korea.army.mil/history U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys Official History] {{webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20130217152918/http://humphreys.korea.army.mil/history |date=17 February 2013 }}</ref>
===1970s=== In 1974, with the activation of the 19th Support Brigade, Camp Humphreys was redesignated as U.S. Army Garrison, Camp Humphreys. USAG-Camp Humphreys was still responsible for all affairs affecting personnel stationed at Camp Humphreys, but the 19th Support Command was responsible for all support activities vital to the Eighth U.S. Army and its subordinate units. Those units formerly reporting to the 23rd Direct Support Group reported to the 19th Support Command in Daegu. Only the basic functions remained with USAG Camp Humphreys.<ref name="autogeneratedmil"/>
===1990s=== Later, the 23rd Direct Support Group and 19th Support were renamed the 23rd Support Group and 19th Theater Army Area Command. On 17 June 1996, the United States Army Support Activity Area III (USASA Area III) was established and made responsible for the peacetime support mission for Camp Humphreys, Camp Long, Camp Eagle and U.S. Army units assigned to Suwon Airbase.<ref name="autogeneratedmil"/>
===2000s=== Camps Eagle and Long closed on 4 June 2010, consolidating installation support activities at Camp Humphreys.<ref name="autogeneratedmil"/>
====2005 protests==== The {{Interlanguage link|Daechuri Protests|ko|평택_미군기지_이전_문제}} were a series of large protests against the South Korean and American governments' plan to expand Camp Humphreys to make it the main base for most U.S. troops in South Korea. It concluded when residents of Daechuri and other small villages near Pyeongtaek agreed to a government settlement according to which they would leave their homes in 2006 and allow the base expansion.<ref>{{cite web |title=Ceremonies honor residents driven from lands slated for Humphreys expansion |url=http://www.stripes.com/news/ceremonies-honor-residents-driven-from-lands-slated-for-humphreys-expansion-1.62541 |access-date=9 April 2007 |publisher=Stars and Stripes |archive-date=23 March 2021 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210323132648/https://www.stripes.com/news/ceremonies-honor-residents-driven-from-lands-slated-for-humphreys-expansion-1.62541 |url-status=dead }}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=http://www.stripes.com/news/s-koreans-rally-at-camp-humphreys-fence-to-protest-u-s-presence-1.36754 |title=S.

Under a 2004 land-swap pact, the U.S. promised to gradually return a combined 170 square kilometers of land housing 42 military bases and related facilities to South Korea and move U.S. military forces from garrisons in and north of Seoul to Camp Humphreys.<ref name="koreatimes1"/>
With the creation of the Installation Management Command on 24 October 2006, U.S. Army Support Activity Area III was redesignated as U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys and Area III on 15 March 2007.<ref name="autogeneratedmil"/>
On 13 November 2007, USFK and South Korean officials conducted a groundbreaking ceremony for the expansion of Camp Humphreys.<ref name="groundbreakingmil"/> Under that plan, the 28,500 U.S. troops in South Korea would be consolidated into two regional hubs in Pyeongtaek and Daegu by 2016.<ref name="stripes1"/>
===2010s=== In 2010, the U.S. Army announced that a tour normalization policy would gradually be introduced. Single soldiers would typically serve two-year tours, and troops who brought families would stay for three years. Previously most troops served one-year unaccompanied tours in Korea. Additional infrastructure to accommodate more families would be built.<ref name=army-20100727>{{cite web |url=https://www.army.mil/article/42904/korea_tour_normalization |title=Korea tour normalization |last=Miles |first=Donna |publisher=U.S. Army |date=27 July 2010 |access-date=12 May 2018 |archive-date=13 May 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180513011534/https://www.army.mil/article/42904/korea_tour_normalization |url-status=live }}</ref>

===Department of Defense Dependent Schools=== thumb|300px | Gen. James Thurman, United States Forces Korea, or USFK, commander (center), participates in a groundbreaking ceremony 2 Sept. 2011, in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, marking the beginning of construction for elementary and high schools for Camp Humphreys. The schools will serve approximately 1,700 students, beginning in June 2013. This $85 million project is being funded by South Korea as part of its commitment to the Yongsan Relocation Plan.
The '''Department of Defense Education Activity''' ('''DoDEA''') is a civilian agency of the United States Department of Defense that manages all schools for military children and teenagers, as well as foreign service children and teenagers, in the United States and also overseas at American military bases worldwide.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.dodea.edu/home/facts.cfm|title=link to List of DoDEA school districts worldwide|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20101214133529/http://dodea.edu/home/facts.cfm|archive-date=14 December 2010}}</ref>
DoDEA currently manages four schools on Camp Humphreys.
