You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 35.175.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪JJMC89‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 05:20, 2 March 2025.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''Camp Carroll''' Army Base (((lang-ko|캠프 캐럴))) is located on the southeast portion of the peninsula of [[South Korea]], in the village of [[Waegwan]], approximately 20&nbsp;km from the city of [[Daegu]].<ref name="auto">US Corps of Engineers. http://8tharmy.korea.army.mil/Historical%20Land%20Use%20and%20Background%20Survey%201992[1].pdf  Historical Land Use and Background Survey – Camp Carroll, Korea</ref> Camp Carroll is bound by urban areas on the northwest, west, and southwest. Hilly forested areas bound the base on the north and east. Agricultural fields (mostly rice paddies) border the base on the northeast and to the south. The [[Naktong River|Nakdong River]] flows nearby, southwest of the base. Camp Carroll has been a supply staging ground for U.S. military operations on the peninsula and in the Far East since the late 1950s.<ref name="auto"/> Often referred to as "The Crown Jewel of Area 4", it is named after [[Sergeant First Class]] [[Charles F. Carroll]], a posthumous recipient of the [[Distinguished Service Cross (United States)|Distinguished Service Cross]] for his acts of heroism during the [[Korean War]].

The area immediately surrounding Camp Carroll is mainly made up of service businesses (e.g. dry cleaners, barber shops, Bars), and caters to an equally American and [[Filipinos|Philippine]] crowd, as many of the soldiers are American and many of the women are Philippine. The city itself is a short bus ride from [[Daegu]] and [[Gumi, South Korea|Gumi]].

Though small in size, Camp Carroll holds a population of approximately 1500 servicemen.  The population itself consists of [[Eighth United States Army|Eighth Army]] personnel, employees and contractors, and Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army ([[KATUSA]]) soldiers. Warehouses and lots make up a large portion of the location, because one of its main functions is to house war reserve stocks. Camp Carroll is also home to The [[2nd Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment (United States)|2nd Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery Regiment]] ([[Patriot missile system|Patriot]]).

==Amenities==
Amenities include [[AAFES|AAFES Exchange]], AMCSS (Army Military Clothing Sales Store), [[Defense Commissary Agency|commissary]], indoor and outdoor swimming pools, a bowling center, library, community center, and a movie theater.

==Transportation==
The military operates a shuttle bus between [[Camp Walker]], Daegu and Camp Carroll but the civilian bus terminal nearest to the post can be accessed by the local 10 and 110 services, which originate in Gumi, and the 250 service, which terminates in Daegu.  By rail, Waegwan Station can be accessed by Mugunghwa (무궁화) rail service.  Saemaul (새마을) service is once or twice a day to Daegu or Seoul.  KTX trains do not service this station.

==History==
[[File:Hill 303 Memorial.jpg|thumbnail|U.S. and ROKA soldiers lay roses at the foot of the memorial established on Hill 303.]]
Camp Carroll lies in the evening shadow of [[Hill 303 massacre|Hill 303]] where one of the most notorious atrocities of the Korean War was committed by communist forces. Forty-one soldiers from the 1st Cav. Div. were captured on the hill during the attempt to break through communist lines during the early days of the Pusan Perimeter. Evidence shows that these men were bound and shot in the back. Shortly after this, the United Nations Command dropped nearly 1,330 tons of high explosives onto the communist lines near Waegwan and, with the second front opening at the communist rear after the landing at Inchon, the 1st Cav. Div. recaptured Hill 303.

Camp Carroll is the only military post located in the Waegwan area since Japanese forces maintained a replacement depot here some 40 years ago.

===Controversy===
In May 2011 an interview with three [[United States Forces Korea]] veterans revealed that in 1978 approximately 250 55 gallon drums of chemicals believed to be [[Agent Orange]] were buried at Camp Carroll.<ref>((cite web|url=http://english.chosun.com/site/data/html_dir/2011/05/20/2011052001085.html|title=U.S. Veterans Admit Burying Deadly Chemical in Korea|publisher=[[The Chosun Ilbo]]|date=20 May 2011))</ref> On 22 May 2011, the Eighth Army admitted that chemicals, pesticides, herbicides, and solvents had been buried at Camp Carroll in 1978, but that the materials and 60 tons of dirt were subsequently removed in 1979 and 1980.<ref>((cite web|url=http://www.koreatimes.co.kr/www/news/nation/2011/05/116_87510.html|title=US Army admits chemical dumping|work=[[The Korea Times]]|date=23 May 2011|author=Lee Tae-hoon))</ref> A joint US-ROK investigation was concluded on 20 December 2011, finding that there was absolutely no Agent Orange remaining buried on Camp Carroll.<ref>http://8tharmy.korea.army.mil/campcarrolltaskforce.asp</ref>
