Please see the following link to fully understand South Korea’s updated guidance for off-peninsula arrivals to the peninsula: https://overseas.mofa.go.kr/us-en/brd/m_4500/view.do?seq=761034&page=1

Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA)

Starting Sept. 1, 2021, the Korean Government will implement a new requirement for non-Korean citizens entering Korea. The Korea Electronic Travel Authorization (K-ETA) is a document granting permission to non-Korean citizens to travel to the Republic of Korea. The K-ETA applies to non-Korean citizens of countries eligible for visa-free entry to the Republic of Korea.

U.S. service members traveling to Korea on PCS or TDY orders, those who already have a visa issued by the Korean government, and those who apply via the website and receive an exception to policy letter from the Korean government do not have to comply with this requirement. However, all others traveling to the Republic of Korea must comply, including family members visiting the Republic of Korea. New GS (general schedule) civilian hires and dependents listed on a service member’s PCS orders who do not have an approved K-ETA exemption memorandum issued by the Korean government must also comply with the requirement.

Obtaining a K-ETA must be done online via the K-ETA website prior to starting travel. Registration costs 10,000 Korean won (about $10 USD) per person. Successful registration will result in generation of a printable certificate for each person that will be received via an email provided by the requestor. Each certificate comes with a unique number and is good for two years. The website does not differentiate between adult, adolescent, or infant travelers. Those who fail to obtain a K-ETA prior to landing in Korea may be denied entry and may be subsequently told to re-board a plane back to their point of origin.

Personnel may claim the registration fee as a travel-related cost. PCS travel is claimed via forms submitted to the servicing finance office and TDY claims are processed through the Defense Travel System online. For questions about claiming expenses incurred during travel, visit your servicing directorate of human resources or finance office.

When filling out the information online, the following may be helpful:

  • Nationality is organized by continent. For U.S. citizens, select “Americas,” then “United States of America.”
  • Digital photos are needed to complete the online application. Photos must be 700x700 pixels or less, file size less than 100kb, in .jpeg format, with one’s face clearly visible.
  • Korea zip codes can be used:
    • Camp Humphreys: 17977
    • Camp Walker (Daegu): 42505
    • Osan Air Base: 17760
    • Camp Carroll (Waegwan): 39890
    • Camp Casey: 11311
  • Be sure to note the application number for your records at the end of the application process.

For more information or to register, visit https://www.k-eta.go.kr/.

Active duty Service Members ARE NOT REQUIRED to obtain passports for entrance into Korea for their duty assignment because of an existing Status of Forces Agreement (SOFA). Family members who accompany the service member ARE REQUIRED to have a government no-fee passport and an A-3 VISA prior to entering Korea. Family members visiting Korea must enter on a US passport and can stay up to 90 days without any additional visa requirements. The current SOFA states that "Members of civilian component, their dependents and the dependents of members of the US Armed Forces shall be in possession of appropriate documentation issued by appropriate US authorities so that their status may be verified by the authorities of the Republic of Korea." Contact your local passport or legal office prior to departure to determine how to obtain a US Official Travel Passport, and an A-3, and Re-entry status VISA. After arrival/in-processing stop by Army Community Service, Building 2451 to receive the proper documentation needed to take to the local Korean Immigration Office. The SOFA stamp is required to verify the special status of civilians, contractors, and dependents under SOFA.

Service members will need several copies of PCS order and DA31 leave form to travel between the US and Korea. To travel to other foreign countries, service members will need to obtain a tourist passport. Law effective 2 July, 2001 requires signatures of both parents to obtain passports for children under the age of 13. If one parent is not available to sign the passport application, parental consent can be documented with a signed, notarized letter or statement from the absent parent providing permission to take the child or children overseas.

Airline Policy on Security Checks. All members of the U.S. Armed Forces, including those serving in the Reserves and National Guard can benefit from TSA PreCheck expedited screening at select airports when flying on participating airlines. Use your Department of Defense identification number when making flight reservations. Accompanying family members ages 12 and under can be processed through expedited screening as well. Enter the 10-digit DoD ID number located on the back of the common access card (CAC) as your known traveler number when making flight reservations or when updating your Defense Travel System (DTS) profile for official travel.

  1. Exception For Service Members. The FAA in late December granted an exemption to the random security checks for active duty military members traveling on official travel or leave. You may need to remind the person checking you in about the rule change. Your local JAG office should be able to supply you with a copy of the FAA citation for you to carry during your travels. Government civilians and family members are not addressed in this rule, but suggest you have the same documentation available and mention the rule change when checking in.
  2. Required Documentation. You must have your orders and leave form when you check in. Other recommended documentation: FAA Security Regulation 108-01-10E, 20 Nov 2001 Section 2, Para B1, Selected Exemptions. USFK Command Policy Letter #44, 4 Aug 06, applies to all US military members assigned to USFK. USFK personnel are prohibited from wearing daily utility uniform at the Incheon International Airport. All personnel are to wear either Class A/B uniform, or service equivalent. Appropriate civilian attire is also authorized.
  3. Soldiers must hand-carry the following documents to Korea:
  • USFK 350-2 Theater Specific Required Training Certificate
  • PCS Orders
  • Leave Form (Department of the Army Form 31)
  • Medical and dental records (unless the servicing MTF sends them via certified mail)
  • Military Personnel file with record or emergency data, SGLV Form 8268-E, and security clearance (DA form 873)
  • Promotion Packet for those in promotable status
  • Approved MOS/medical/dental retention board proceedings or medical evaluation board proceedings

Household Goods

Most Military members assigned to USAG-Yongsan on an accompanied tour are only allowed one-half of their household goods allowance. If you obtain quarters on base, the Housing Office will provide the basic household items, (i.e. washer/dryer, beds, dresser, night stands, wardrobe, dining room table and chairs and other furniture). If you live off post, the Housing Office will still provide the same service, but the apartments are much smaller than most Americans have experienced.  Military members assigned to USAG Camp Casey are on an unaccompanied tour and will be assigned to barracks housing.

Driver's License

It is beneficial to PCS overseas with a stateside driver's license that will not expire soon. Those entitled to have an USFK Motor Vehicle Operator Permit will need a current state driver's license before testing. Driver Testing is now online. USFK's online driver's training and test on JKO are now mandatory. This change allows sponsors to assist authorized troops and families and set them up for success before they arrive. You may not go straight to the test and skip training. You must take the training first before you will be allowed to take the test. A passing score on the test is required to receive a POV license and/or a military/GOV license. Service members will need to establish JKO accounts for dependents who will be taking the training and test.

The USFK Driver Licensing Training course is available on JKO, course number USFK-US002 here.The USFK Driver License Test is available on JKO, course number USFK-US002-B  here.

To find out about your State’s process to renew a driver’s license while stationed in Korea, contact your local State’s DMV before departing.

Government Travel Charge Card Program

The Government Travel Charge Card Program (GTCC) provides travelers with a safe, effective, convenient, and commercially available method to pay for expenses associated with official travel. The GTCC includes Individually Billed Accounts (IBAs) and Centrally Billed Accounts (CBAs). The GTCC is a VISA credit card that may be used at any location that accepts VISA including OCONUS locations. Personal use of the travel card or using the travel card to pay for someone else's travel expenses is prohibited. The use of the travel card for non-official expenses may result in disciplinary actions.

All Soldiers on official government travel will be issued a GTCC through their losing unit or installation Agency Program Coordinator (APC). APCs are responsible for managing the DOD GTCC program for permissible expenses (see Appendix G of JTR Manual) while on official travel orders. Use of the Government Travel Charge Card is mandatory when on official business travel, unless an exemption has been granted. The mandatory GTCC training provides guidance covering the authorized use of the GTCC.

History

The history of this peninsula nation is rich, varied, and fascinating. It stretches from the period of the Three Kingdoms beginning in 57 B.C. to present day Republic of Korea. In 1945, Japan surrendered to the Allies and withdrew from the Korean Peninsula. The peninsula was then divided into two zones, South and North Korea. The Korean War broke out on June 25, 1950 and fighting ended when an armistice was signed on July 27, 1953. In 2000, a historic summit took place between South and North Korea in Pyongyang, the capital of North Korea.

Camp Casey

  • Established during the Korean War in November 1951 as a headquarters base camp. The Camp was named in 1952 in Honor of Major Hugh Casey (3ID) who was killed in a plane crash near the camp during the Korean War. A white cross memorial was placed at the crash site in his honor.
  • Camp Casey was home to the 7th Infantry Division until 1971, when the Division returned to CONUS. The 2d Infantry Division (2ID) replaced the 7th and remained at Camp Casey until 1993, when it moved south to Camp Red Cloud, and later to Camp Humphreys in 2018.
  • Today, Camp Casey is home to the 210 Field Artillery Brigade, 2ID support units, and 9 month rotational forces deployed from CONUS.
  • An unusual fact about Camp Casey is that it actually contains its own Korean village named Geolsan-dong, with approximately 115 residents.

Yongsan

  • The United States military formally acquired the real estate comprising the Yongsan compound on September 11, 1948.
  • Yongsan compound had previously served as the headquarters for the Japanese Governor-General and Imperial Japanese Army in Korea beginning in 1905 until 1945.
  • In the mid-1950s, Yongsan became home to Headquarters, United Nations Command and Eighth Army. At the same time, the United States Forces Korea (USFK) Command was established at Yongsan. These commands remained at Yongsan until 2018, when they relocated to Camp Humphreys.
  • Today, Yongsan supports several Camps and Sites geographically dispersed over the Greater Seoul area while undergoing transformation to eventual closure.
  • The English translation of Yongsan is Dragon Hill.

Garrison Background

  • Prior to the establishment of the Installation Management Command (IMCOM), Major Commands such as Eighth Army in Korea, managed all Army Installations and Base Operations (BASOPS) services. When IMCOM became the Army’s single command responsible for worldwide installation management in 2006, organizations providing installation BASOPS services were redesignated as US Army Garrisons (USAG) and placed under IMCOM control.
  • Under the reorganization, the Area II Support Activity at Yongsan was redesignated as USAG Yongsan and Area II, and the Area I Support Activity at Camp Red Cloud was redesignated as USAG Red Cloud and Area I. At Camp Casey, USAG Casey was formed, commanded by a LTC (O-5), and aligned under USAG Red Cloud and Area I as a subordinate (Indirect) garrison. At the time, Area I required a Direct and Indirect garrison structure to support BASOPS. This was due to the large Soldier population, robust training mission, and multiple camps and sites geographically disbursed throughout the area.

In June 2018, USAG Red Cloud and Area I inactivated as part of the USFK Transformation and Relocation Plan, and USAG Casey was restructured and realigned as a subordinate (Indirect) garrison under USAG Yongsan and Area II.

Today, the combined organization is referred to as USAG Yongsan-Casey, commanded by a COL (O-6) . The organization continues to provide BASOPS support to camps and sites in both Areas I.

Effective 1 March 2019, IMCOM realigned as a Major Subordinate Command (MSC) under the Army Materiel Command (AMC), in order to improve BASOPS support, services, and facilities to enable readiness and enhance the well-being of Soldiers, Civilians, and Families.

Population

Seoul: The current metro area population of Seoul in 2023 is 9,976,000, a 0.08% increase from 2021.

Location

U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan (USAG-Y), Korea is located in the heart of Seoul, Korea, a city of 16 million. The city is a unique combination of the ultra-modern and the ancient, with a diverse history of foreign occupation, war, and reconstruction. The installation dates back to the Japanese occupation of Korea and still has some of the original buildings in use. In direct contrast, Yongsan has some of the most modern facilities in all the Armed Forces. For example, the Dragon Hill Lodge is an elegant complex of shops, restaurants, and lodging. USFK and Yongsan Garrison is in the process of accelerating the closure of Yongsan. USAG Yongsan is scheduled for reduction under the Yongsan Relocation Program (YRP) as part of a major force re-stationing plan ongoing in Korea. The plan directs the reduction of Yongsan Garrison and the relocation of operational units and major command and staff organizations to enduring sites and facilities. Yongsan is currently home to approximately 5,575 U.S. military and civilians, Korean Nationals, Korean Service Corps, contractors and retirees.

Camp Casey/Camp Hovey is a U.S. military base in Dongducheon, South Korea, 40 miles north of Seoul, South Korea. Camp Casey was named in 1952 after Major Hugh Boyd Casey, who was killed in an airplane crash near Camp Casey during the Korean War. Camp Casey is one of several U.S. Army bases in South Korea near the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ).
