CAMP CASEY, Republic of Korea – For the first time in its history, the 2nd Infantry Division hosted its annual Arbor Day ceremony at Camp Casey, the unit’s northernmost base in Korea on April 10. Standing alongside Assistant Governor of Gyeonggi Province Shin-Whoan Park, Howerton helped plant a pine tree and unveiled a plaque to symbolize the continued mutual friendship the Warrior Division shares with the local community. Previously held at the 2ID/RUCD headquarters at Camp Red Cloud in Uijeongbu since April 1978, this 25th tree planting ceremony signals a key switch in locations ahead of the division’s fall relocation to Pyeongtaek.
