Camp LaGuardia
Camp LaGuardia consists of approximately 40 acres. Primary units include the 50th Engineer Company and the 2ID Band. Camp LaGuardia is near Camps Red Cloud and Stanley, which offer many of the services not available on Camp LaGuardia. Camp LaGuardia is in Uijongbu just 20 miles away from Seoul. In addition to the sights of Seoul, Tobong, Soyo and Sorak Mountains are all in the area, as is the Songdu Resort. Also, there are many parks, resorts, historical sites and entertainment areas in Korea. Because of the country's size and excellent transportation system, all these sites are within a day's travel from anywhere in Area I. On-post tour and travel offices, Morale, Welfare and Recreation offices, and the USO offer regular excursions.

Camp LaGuardia is one of the forty-two camps north of Seoul authorized Hardship Duty Pay of $150 per month as of 01 January 2001. The Hardship Duty Pay is paid to troops who are permanently assigned to areas where it is authorized or who serve 30 consecutive days of temporary duty in those areas. Several factors are considered in determining whether a location qualified for the pay: climate, physical and social isolation, sanitation, disease, medical facilities, housing, food, recreational and community facilities, political violence, harassment and crime. The extra pay provides meaningful financial recognition to troops assigned in areas where living conditions are substantially below US standards.

Army Community Service is not available. The 2nd Infantry Division's 17 installations operate on a hub system that gives Division soldiers access to services not available on their installations. Camp LaGuardia is near Camps Red Cloud and Stanley, which offer many of the services not available on Camp LaGuardia.
