Co. B was located at Camp Casey in the middle of, what was then, the 7th Infantry Division area. Camp Casey was (and still is) in the city of Tongduchon in Kyongi Province. You can find it on the map. Click here to see map.

Co. B 321st USASA Bn was headquartered at Camp Casey because it was the tactical ASA unit in direct support of 7th Infantry Division, also headquartered at Camp Casey. Co. B 321st Bn was a TDA unit that was created in 1957 as a replacement for Co. B 301st ASA Bn. The 301st Bn and its subordinate units were TOE units under the 501st ASA Group. They were all inactivated in 1957 along with the 501st Group and all the other TOE units subordinate to the 501st. This was an economy measure required by a worldwide manpower reduction ordered in that year. When the TOE units were inactivated, their operational functions, assets and personnel were taken over and continued in the same locations by newly created TDA units having different unit designations. Thus, Co. B 301st ASA Bn. became Co. B 321st USSAS Bn. The 321st USASA Bn existed only from mid-1957 until it was discontinued on 1 July 1964, another victim of defense budget reductions. (Note the term "discontinued" vs. "inactivated," TDA units were not considered permanant, only temporary. Inactivated implies possible future reactivation and this applied only to TOE units.) When the 321st Bn was discontinued, Co. B was reassigned directly under 508th Group and redesignated as Co. B 508th USASA Group.

Co. B's operational functions were divided between two permanent compounds. The first was at Camp Casey and is pictured above. The second was located far to the north, right on the DMZ and close to Chorwon, the only Korean city to be completely destroyed in the Korean war. This northern unit was known at different times by different names. Most commonly, however, it was just called "B-North." B-North had its own compound, Camp Alamo, which had the distinction of being not only the northernmost ASA unit in Korea, but the northernmost US Army unit of any kind in Korea.

Co. B was one of many ASA sites operating in Korea under 508th Group during this period. The webmaster was assigned to A Co. and, unfortunately, doesn't have enough information about B Co. to include any more than what you see here, as yet. Submissions by ANYONE who served in B Co. from 1957 - 1967 are eagerly sought. please e-mail me.
