HQ Det USA Pusan Base Command APO 96259

HQ Det USA Pusan Base Command, APO 96259, was a key United States Army installation located in Pusan (Busan), South Korea, primarily active during and after the Korean War. Established in the early 1950s, the headquarters detachment played a critical role in managing logistics, supply chains, and administrative functions for U.S. forces in the southern region of the Korean Peninsula. As the primary hub for receiving personnel and materiel, Pusan Base Command supported United Nations operations and reconstruction efforts following the armistice. Over the years, as the U.S. military presence in Korea was consolidated and streamlined, the command’s responsibilities were gradually absorbed into larger regional commands, ultimately leading to its deactivation.
