Kamaksan ASA (Det. M)
Kamaksan ASA 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.

The massive mountain Kamaksan (Hill 355 "Little Gibralter") is immediately south of the Imjin River. Mt. Kamaksan is one of the five most famous mountains in Kyeonggi-do Province, along with Mt.Songaksan in Gaesong, Mt.Hwaaksan in Gapyeong, Mt.Gwanaksan in Gwacheon, and Mt.Unaksan in Pocheon. As it is located just 4km away from the DMZ, Mt.Songaksan in Gaesong North Korea can be seen from the summit of Mt.Gamaksan(675m). Because of its proximity to the Demilitarized Zone, this area had been closed to the public until recently. Although the visiting restrictions have been lifted today, accommodation facilities are not available at all, and cooking in this area is strictly prohibited. Those visitors who struggle to climb the mountain trail are duly rewarded for their efforts, since there are spectacular sights around these mountains, the scenic valley through which Solmacheon Stream runs, and the beautiful Ungye Fall (also known as Piryong Fall). Nearby is Beomryunsa Temple, which dates far back to the Shilla Dynasty and was rebuilt in 1970. There is also the Bittul Tombstone(also called Seolinguibi), which leans to one side.
