About HHC&BAND Camp Ross South Korea

**HHC & BAND, Camp Ross, South Korea** has a proud lineage as part of the United States Army's support elements stationed on the Korean Peninsula. Established during the post-Korean War era, the Headquarters and Headquarters Company (HHC) provided command, control, and administrative support to various units at Camp Ross, an important logistical hub near the DMZ. The unit’s Band played a vital role in fostering morale, participating in military ceremonies, and building community relations with both U.S. personnel and local Korean communities. Throughout its service, HHC & BAND contributed to the readiness and esprit de corps of U.S. forces in Korea, supporting peace and stability in the region until its eventual deactivation or realignment in line with broader force restructuring.
