Camp Mobile
Camp Mobile is located in the city of Tongduchon which is located approximately 40 miles north of Seoul and boasts a population of 70,000. The installation houses soldiers of the Warrior Replacement Company. Their primary mission is to welcome soldiers to the 2nd Infantry Division and Area I. Camp Mobile 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.
