Ascom Korea Military Police

The Ascom Korea Military Police was a United States Army unit stationed at the Ascom City Base (also known as Camp Ascom) near Bupyeong, South Korea, during the Korean War and the postwar years. Established to provide security and law enforcement within the sprawling logistics hub, the unit was responsible for maintaining order among U.S. and allied personnel, as well as overseeing the movement of supplies through the Ascom complex. Throughout the 1950s and 1960s, Ascom Korea Military Police played a vital role in traffic control, criminal investigations, and the detention of offenders within the base. Their efforts ensured the smooth operation of one of the most important logistical centers supporting United Nations forces on the Korean Peninsula.
