Camp Humphreys is located just 55 miles south of the nation’s capital, Seoul, and neighbors the town of Anjung-Ri.
The base currently holds about 28,500 U.S. troops with the remainder of its population being other ‘soldiers, civilians, family members and contractors,’ according to a recent report by Military Installations.
Spokesperson for Garrison Bob McElroy said the goal is to ‘locate her and get her home safely with her family’
The population has continued to skyrocket in recent years since the transformation of the installation.
‘It is, essentially, building a compound the size of (downtown) Washington, D.C.,’ Maj. Gen. James T. Walton, U.S. Forces Korea’s director for Transformation and Restationing, said in a statement.
When speaking of the progress, United States Forces Korea commander Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti said on its website that ‘over 10,000 workers are constructing headquarters, barracks, family housing and an assortment of other key facilities for our mission and life support.’
The construction is to ensure they are ‘carefully planning the transition capability from Yongsan to Humphreys to support the growing population down there,’ Walton added.
