USAG Camp Red Cloud History and Court-Martial Activity
Camp Red Cloud is a U.S. Army base located near the city of Uijeongbu, just north of Seoul, Korea. The installation serves as the main headquarters for the 2nd Infantry Division and its supporting units and is home to thousands of U.S. Service Members and their families.
The vast majority of service members stationed at Camp Red Cloud will serve their country honorably and return home without issue. Others will not be so lucky. For the men and women that are accused of a criminal offense under the UCMJ here at Camp Red Cloud and elsewhere in South Korea, the situation can turn from bad to worse almost instantaneously.
- The government will remain vague about your status and even hide the fact you’re a suspect. But behind the scenes, they’re gathering evidence, speaking with witnesses and preparing their strategy. By the time the hammer falls, it is often too late.
- South Korea is one of America’s most important regional allies. Any criminal offense committed on South Korean soil is dealt with extreme prejudice to ensure that alliance continues. This often means more resources to convict you, and harsher sentencing than anywhere else in the world.
- Unfortunately, a dishonorable discharge may be the least of your worries. Years if not decades in prison is a distinct possibility depending on the crime. Loss of your pay and allowances could leave you in terminal debt. You could be placed on a sex offender list for the rest of your life.
Camp Red Cloud—originally Camp Jackson—was established during the Korean War, and quickly became one of the most important installations on the peninsula and a major gateway between Seoul and the DMZ. In 1957, it was renamed after Corporal Mitchell Red Cloud, Jr, who stormed an enemy bunker during the Korean War, killing dozens of the enemy.Today, Camp Red Cloud remains essential to U.S. Military power on the peninsula, supporting the economic, transportation and industrial interests of both South Korea and the network of U.S. military installations spread throughout the country.Camp Red Cloud, along with Camps Casey, Stanley, Hovey and others, are jointly referred to as Area I by U.S. Military serving in the region.
- Established: 1950s

What UCMJ Charges Can I Fight And Win?
Camp Red Cloud, initially named Camp Jackson, stands as a crucial U.S. military installation with historical roots tracing back to the Korean War. Renowned for its strategic significance between Seoul and the DMZ, the base, housing the 2nd Infantry Division and supporting units, faces ongoing legal challenges due to frequent sting operations. In response, service members stationed there rely on Bilecki Law Group, PLLC, for expert defense representation, recognizing the firm’s specialized expertise in navigating the complexities of the military justice system.

- UCMJ Article 121 (Fraud and Larceny): From BAH fraud to wrongful appropriation, we understand the nuances that lead to financial misconduct charges and provide a robust defense against oversimplified prosecutorial narratives.
- UCMJ Article 128 (Assault and Violent Crime): Recognizing the reality of conflicts that escalate into charges, we defend against accusations from simple brawls to more severe confrontations, ensuring a single moment doesn’t define your future.
- UCMJ Article 112a (Drug Crimes): In a country where drug prevalence mirrors that of the U.S., we defend service members caught in drug-related charges, often stemming from being in the wrong place at the wrong time with the wrong people.
- Punitive Articles of the UCMJ 77-134 (Military Specific Offenses): Facing minor infractions can lead to major consequences on foreign soil; we challenge disproportionate penalties for actions that would be minor stateside.
