3. In 2016, U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys continues to grow and change in remarkable ways. This edition of our
annual report brings you up to date on our progress and the challenges we face now and in the future as we
transform into the premier military installation in the Pacific Region.
I am extremely proud of the dedication, hard work and flexibility our community demonstrates every day. Despite
the challenges that go with living and working amidst the largest construction project in Department of Defense
history, the garrison staff continues to provide installation management support and our community shows an
even-tempered, “Can Do” attitude every day that is inspirational.
During the last 12 months we’ve brought more facilities on-line and expanded the garrison’s footprint—we’re now
nearly twice the size we were one year ago. Additionally, we have new rotational units on post who live and work
in our newest facilities.
In the next few years, when Transformation is complete, we will have first-class facilities which will enhance our
combat readiness and provide excellent support to our community. We’re doing all of this while remaining “Ready
to Fight Tonight.”
As we move into the future we do so with the support of our partners in U.S. Forces Korea, 8th U.S. Army, 2nd
Infantry Division and the Republic of Korea Army. Thanks to all of our partners, military and civilian, for their
continued support during this challenging time. Our success is due in large part to the great cooperation and
collaboration of our partners and allies.
Finally, we have the deepest gratitude for our friends in the Korean community. For more than 65 years the
Republic of Korea and the United States of America have been allies, partners and friends. We have bled together
in war and, in peace, have built a modern democracy that is the envy of the world. This relationship, founded on
friendship and mutual respect is the key to our long-standing partnership and will guide us into the future. Kam
sahm ni da, katchi kapshida!

United States Army Garrison (USAG)
Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, South Korea
provides installation management
support for the Camp Humphreys
Military Community as well as the
personnel and facilities located within
the geographical boundary designated
as Area III.
USAG Humphreys is home to the U.S.
Army’s most-active overseas airfield
with approximately 62,000 movements
per year. Humphreys is also the site
of a $10.7 billion construction project
that will transform the garrison into
the largest enduring U.S. installation in
South Korea. By the time transformation
is complete, USAG Humphreys will
be one of the most-modern and well-
equipped Army installations in the
world.
The garrison will grow in total acreage
by 192 percent and will see a 725
percent increase in installation facilities.
The population is expected to grow
by 440 percent. While leading and
managing a transformation project of
this scale, the garrison is working hard
to ensure the combat readiness of the
mission units stationed here.
The future will bring enhanced training
facilities to Humphreys: a simulations
center, Noncommissioned Officer’s
Academy, a virtual indoor training
facility, weapons ranges and more.
We’re also striving to provide quality
of life programs and services for the
Soldiers, Families and Civilians who live
and work here.
TRANSFORMATION
AND RESTATIONING
USFK is repositioning and consolidating
into two enduring hubs south of Seoul,
near the cities of Pyeongtaek and
Daegu. By moving to these locations
USFK will enhance its readiness,
efficiency and its partnership with the
local communities. Consolidation of U.S.
forces in Korea supports U.S. and South
Korean national interests including a
strong combined defense and credible
deterrence.
The USFK transformation program has
two major components: the Yongsan
Relocation Plan (YRP) and the Land
Partnership Plan (LPP). The Republic of
Korea Government (ROKG) funds the
Our mission is to deliver and integrate base support to enable
readiness for a self-reliant and globally-responsive all-volunteer
Army.

YRP agreement to relocate the USFK headquarters
and the United Nations Command primarily to USAG
Humphreys.
The LPP primarily consolidates forces from north
of Seoul to USAG Humphreys while still providing
access to northern training areas and ranges. USFK
will thus reduce its theater footprint with all non-
enduring sites returning to the ROKG.
USFK manages the $10.7 billion transformation
at USAG Humphreys with more than $1 billion in
current construction. There are 115 projects in the
works which will result in the construction of 655
new facilities.
The transformation underway at USAG Humphreys
triples its size from 1,210 to 3,453 acres with the
garrison population growing from approximately
10,700 to over 42,000 military, civilian and family
members. Main construction projects include
unit headquarters, vehicle maintenance facilities,
hangars, Soldier quarters, family housing, medical
facilities, a military communications complex,
a downtown shopping area, schools, child
development centers, fitness centers and numerous
other facilities.
At end state USAG Humphreys will be one of the
largest Army installations in the region.

THE CHALLENGES AHEAD
As USAG Humphreys becomes the larg-
est U.S. Army installation in South Korea
it should come as no surprise to our
partners, community members, garrison
workforce and host nation communities
surrounding the installation that we will
face several challenges in the coming
years. While these challenges aren’t
insurmountable, they require us to work
together to ease the growing pains as-
sociated with such a large project while
also taking prudent measures to ensure
we meet milestones at an adequate
pace.
HOUSING DEFICIT
When USFK transformation and resta-
tioning is complete, USAG Humphreys
will face a deficit of 429 on-post Army
family housing units. This number is
based on USFK’s requirement that 40
percent of command-sponsored families
reside in on-post quarters.
In March 2014 the Assistant Secretary of
the Army for Installations, Energy and
Environment hosted a housing indus-
try forum to promote off-post housing
development near USAG Humphreys.
Those who attended expressed inter-
est in further housing development
investment in the area. Many develop-
ers and financiers are hesitant to invest
in off-post housing, however, without a
written agreement assuring adequate
occupancy levels are achieved to sup-
port a profitable business model.
Additionally, with the anticipated
modernization and growth of off-post
communities in the area comes an
increase in local-property values. As a
result there is concern that Overseas
Housing Allowance fair market value
rates are not keeping pace with changes
in the local real estate market. To resolve
this challenge, the garrison is working
to establish a focused community
housing program to encourage private
sector housing solutions near USAG
Humphreys.
“USFK’s priority is to house about 1,100 Families on-post.
Many of the remaining personnel and Families
need rental housing off-post.”

COMMUNITY DISRUPTION MITIGATION
The day-to-day challenges the USAG Humphreys
Military Community faces from a variety of transfor-
mation-related service and traffic disruptions remain
a concern for garrison leaders.
Vehicle and pedestrian traffic is routinely disrupted
due to road detours and gate closures. As service
providers move to end state or temporary swing
space locations, community members have to travel
greater distances to receive service and support. In
some cases, recreation, dining and community sup-
port facilities must reduce services or temporarily
shut down operations until swing space or end state
facilities are made available.
Garrison leaders acknowledge the impact trans-
formation has on the community and endeavor to
mitigate service, traffic and other community
disruptions.
The Garrison communicates regularly through a
number of media to ensure the community has
the latest information on construction projects,
road closures, service provider moves and other
construction-related information. It is vital to keep
the community informed and aware of changes on
the horizon, this fosters a ready and resilient environ-
ment for those who live and serve here.
One of the primary methods of conveying informa-
tion about transformation and its impact is regular
town hall meetings and community update brief-
ings. The Garrison Command Group also speaks
at newcomer briefings, Meet the Command Team
opportunities and other public forums. The garrison
public affairs office distributes construction updates
via a robust social media program.

AIRCRAFT PARKING SPACE SHORTFALL
USAG Humphreys has one rotational Attack Recon-
naissance squadron on a nine-month deployment
cycle.
While the garrison can support housing, vehicle
maintenance, headquarters space, hangars and
parking requirements for the rotational OH-58 ARS
platform, we anticipate that AH-64 Apache
helicopters will replace the OH-58s in the future.
Should that occur, current and programmed park-
ing at Desiderio Army Airfield (A-511) will fall short
of the spaces necessary to support an additional
Apache battalion.

IMAGINARY SURFACES
Airfield design involves the creation of imaginary
surfaces without obstructions to ensure aircraft
can safely arrive and depart the airfield. Imaginary
surfaces are three-dimensional areas described
as distances from runways and as heights above
elevation. Areas are more-restrictive close to the
runway and become less restrictive depending on
distance and direction from the runway.
Due to on-going construction involving temporary
placement and movement of construction cranes
as well as the introduction of new power lines,
communications towers and other structures, the
imaginary surfaces surrounding Desiderio Army
Airfield will remain in flux through the completion of
construction.
Poor weather conditions may also have a negative
impact on construction causing work delays or
stoppages. Low cloud ceilings or poor visibility can
cause construction cranes near the airfield to cease
work in order to protect the terminal airspace.
The USAG Humphreys airfield manager works with
8th U.S. Army, the Federal Aviation Administration,
the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and on-site
construction companies to either relocate
construction equipment or modify flight procedures
to ensure a safe and efficient use of the navigable
airspace. The airfield manager works with aviation
units and air traffic control managers to ensure
they receive constant updates related to changes
in imaginary horizontal, conical, transitional and
approach surfaces.
SWING SPACE AND END STATE MOVES
One of the many logistical challenges faced
when undertaking a construction, relocation and
consolidation project like the one underway at USAG
Humphreys is managing swing space requirements
from project beginning to end.
Swing space is used temporarily or occupied
during a construction or renovation project. The
garrison relies on swing space facilities to move
units and organizations into temporary locations
while construction or renovations are completed on
permanent facilities.

Interim swing space moves may also be required to
accommodate the lag between the destruction of an
existing facility and the construction of permanent
space. Swing space facilities may be required
because some parts of the organization move in
phases in order to maintain continuity of operations
during relocation.
To mitigate swing space challenges the garrison’s
Directorate of Public Works took steps early in
planning to minimize the need for swing space
moves and reduce their impact on those stationed
here. Despite those efforts, numerous moves were
and will be required.
Swing space moves are not just about space, they
involve disruptions in service as personnel, vehicles,
equipment and supplies move from current to
interim locations and then to permanent facilities.
In some cases organizations must make more than
one swing space move due to the pace and time
of construction across the garrison. Lack of parking
at swing space facilities is also a challenge as the
available parking space at interim facilities was not
designed to meet the needs of transient residents or
their customers.
In fiscal year 2015 11 units and 24 facilities moved
into swing space compared to approximately 30
swing-space moves in FY14. The number of swing-
space moves is on track to drop significantly in the
next 18 months and DPW will focus on end-state
moves in FY16 and beyond.
CULTURAL TRANSFORMATION
As Humphreys transforms and takes shape with new
roads, housing areas, schools, work sites and support
structures, it’s important for those here now and in
the future to remain flexible and prepared to adapt
to a new way of thinking when it comes to serving in
South Korea.
Garrison leadership reassess processes, procedures
and mission support requirements to ensure they
take appropriate measures to meet the needs of a
rapidly-changing community. To achieve success
it’s also imperative to understand the impact
transformation has on geographic, psychographic
and demographic factors related to restationing.
Leaders and managers at all levels must focus on
the critical success factors required for training,
transportation, security, plans and operations to
ensure the mental transformation process begins
now instead of when the major unit movements
begin.
Garrison officials work closely with host-nation
business, civic and government leaders through
initiatives like the Pyeongtaek International
Exchange Foundation, the ROK-U.S. Friendship
Council, Korea Housing Forum and other community
relations activities. The Garrison is helping our
host-nation partners understand the impact USAG
Humphreys’changing demographics will have on
off-post housing, shopping, dining, cultural and
entertainment needs.
