Camp Stanley is currently home to the 304th Signal Battalion; 61st Maintenance Company, 194th CSSB, 501st Sustainment Brigade; 46th Transportation Company, 194th CSSB, and 501st SBDE. Supporting units or detachments include a platoon from 55th Military Police Company, a Military Intelligence detachment, and medical and dental support. 46th Transportaion Company has become well known around the South Korean peninsula. They are the key role of transporting supplies all over the peninsula. Warrior Reception Company (WRC) relocated to Camp Hovey in February 2012, as did the area Combined Issue Faciltiy (CIF). Majority of all the places have been closing down so camp stanley is being said to be a "ghost town."
Camp Stanley provides logistical support to Area I through its 501st SBDE units. The camp maintains its helipads and a refueling station for helicopters in support of 2nd Infantry Division operations. Helicopters fly daily training runs from nearby Camp Casey and Camp Red Cloud.
There is a HazMart (recycling and reutilization facility) on the camp.
Camp Stanley is slated to close by 2016. In line with the ongoing draw-down and realignment of American forces in South Korea. Units that are not inactivated will relocate south to Camp Humphreys or USAG Daegu.

Famous quotes containing the word status:
“Recent studies that have investigated maternal satisfaction have found this to be a better prediction of mother-child interaction than work status alone. More important for the overall quality of interaction with their children than simply whether the mother works or not, these studies suggest, is how satisfied the mother is with her role as worker or homemaker. Satisfied women are consistently more warm, involved, playful, stimulating and effective with their children than unsatisfied women.”
—Alison Clarke-Stewart (20th century)
“Knowing how beleaguered working mothers truly are—knowing because I am one of them—I am still amazed at how one need only say “I work” to be forgiven all expectation, to be assigned almost a handicapped status that no decent human being would burden further with demands. “I work” has become the universally accepted excuse, invoked as an all-purpose explanation for bowing out, not participating, letting others down, or otherwise behaving inexcusably.”
—Melinda M. Marshall (20th century)
“The influx of women into paid work and her increased power raise a woman’s aspirations and hopes for equal treatment at home. Her lower wage and status at work and the threat of divorce reduce what she presses for and actually expects.”
—Arlie Hochschild (20th century)
