History
Pyeongtaek Airfield was constructed in 1919, by the Imperial Japanese Army, during their occupation of Korea. With the outbreak of the Korean War, Pyeongtaek Airfield was repaired to accommodate the 6147th Tactical Control Group and later enhanced to support Marine Aircraft Group 12 and other units. During and after the war, it carried the simple designation of K6 on military maps. In 1962, it was renamed Camp Humphreys, in honor of CW2 Benjamin K. Humphreys, a pilot with the 6th Transportation Company, who died in a helicopter accident in 1961. Today, Camp Humphreys is home to the Army's most active OCONUS airfield and is the focal point for the United States Forces in Korea.
