Camp Merser (H 250) Heliport

Military force realignment and consolidation. The closure was part of the United States Forces Korea (USFK) reduction and relocation plans, specifically the East Asia Strategy Initiative (EASI) and later the Land Partnership Plan (LPP). These initiatives aimed to consolidate US forces south of the Han River, reduce the US military footprint in the Seoul metropolitan area, and return valuable land to South Korea for urban development.

The site of the former Camp Mercer and its heliport has been completely redeveloped. After the land was returned to South Korea, it underwent extensive urban development. The location is now a densely populated residential and commercial area in Bucheon, Gyeonggi Province, primarily occupied by large apartment complexes (such as the Bucheon Ojeong Daewoo Prugio apartments), schools, and local businesses. There are no remaining traces of the former military installation or the heliport.

Camp Mercer was a United States Army post that served as a key logistical and support installation for USFK in the Seoul metropolitan area (designated as Area II). The H-250 Heliport was the camp's air facility, crucial for military operations. It handled the transport of personnel (including VIPs), light cargo, and provided essential medical evacuation (MEDEVAC) capabilities for the camp and surrounding units. The heliport primarily serviced US Army helicopters such as the UH-1 Iroquois ('Huey') and later the UH-60 Black Hawk, functioning as a vital link in the USFK transportation network during the Cold War era.

None. The prospect of reopening is zero. The land is no longer under military control and has been permanently and completely transformed into a high-density urban environment. Any future aviation facility would require the demolition of established civilian infrastructure, making it infeasible.
