USAG Daegu History and Court-Martial Activity
USAG Daegu is an American Army garrison headquartered some 200 miles south of Seoul in South Korea’s Nam District, on the outskirts of Daegu City. USAG Daegu serves an enclave of four U.S. Army bases, including Camps Henry, George, Waegwan, and Walker. Over 1,000 U.S. service members and their families are associated with USAG Daegu. The vast majority of service members representing USAG Daegu will never know what it feels like to be accused of a criminal offense under the UCMJ. For those that do, however, the situation can become a living nightmare almost overnight.
- The men and women of USAG Daegu are thousands of miles from home, far from friends and family. Under such extreme pressure, many give up and confess their crimes, all but ending their military career and jeopardizing their civilian futures.
- Many of them have been in the Army for years, even a decade or longer. If they’re convicted, they will lose the benefits they’ve accrued over the years. Over the course of their lifetime, this could be tens and even hundreds of thousands of dollars.
- A conviction for many UCMJ offenses could result in anywhere from a few months to a life in prison. To avoid the maximum time, many of these service members will confess. They never realize that, with the proper representation, they could have escaped jail altogether.
United States Army Garrison Daegu—formerly Area IV Support Activity, was constituted in late 2003 and serves multiple bases throughout Daegu City and its surroundings. The garrison supports 42 tenant units, including the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command, the 36th Signal Battalion, and the 403rd Army Field Support Brigade, among others.
USAG Daegu has won numerous accolades in recent years and has earned the Army Community of Excellence Awards on multiple occasions over the last decade.
- Established: 2003
- Location: Daegu, South Korea, and surrounding area
- Population: 1,100 + U.S. Army
- Garrison: USAG Daegu and supporting units
Court-Martial Activity: USAG Daegu has seen an uptick in court-martial activity in recent years due to aggressive law enforcement activity as well as crackdowns on both sexual assault and drug crimes. Other crimes which occur occasionally include fraud charges (OHA and BAH) and certain minor violent crimes (assault and battery).

What UCMJ Charges Can I Fight And Win?
- UCMJ Article 120 or Article 134 (Sex Offenses): We tackle challenging cases from sexual assault to indecent exposure, fighting against a culture of conviction without evidence, protecting careers and reputations of those unjustly accused.
- 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.
