From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Camp Liberty Bell was a strategic location within the Korean DMZ which, during its existence, was America's northernmost command location in South Korea.[1] In August 1976, North Korean troops attacked the camp causing several casualties.[2]
Liberty Bell was home to Company A, 2/9th Infantry Regiment (Manchus), which patrolled the DMZ and the American-controlled section of the southern boundary. In April of 1987 this unit was redesignated as Company A, 1/506th Infantry Regiment (Currahees).[1]
Then-president Ronald Reagan visited the Camp in November 1983 when he was the first president to visit the DMZ.[3][4]
