Camp Hovie, Korea - 1:5

**Camp Hovey, Korea – 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment (1/5):** Camp Hovey, located near the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) in South Korea, has served as a key installation for U.S. Army forces on the peninsula. The 1st Battalion, 5th Infantry Regiment—nicknamed “Bobcats”—was stationed at Camp Hovey as part of the 2nd Infantry Division. Throughout its deployment, 1/5 Infantry played a vital role in maintaining readiness and deterrence against potential aggression from North Korea, participating in joint training exercises with South Korean forces. The unit’s presence at Camp Hovey reinforced the longstanding alliance between the United States and South Korea, contributing to regional stability until the battalion’s inactivation and subsequent redeployments in the 2000s.
