Korean teachers catch glimpse of Camp Carroll


Chilgok County educators
meet Soldiers, tour post
By Pvt. Park Kwang-mo
Area IV Public Affairs
CAMP CARROLL – Eliminating misconceptions
about the U.S. Army and building stronger bonds with
the local community was the goal as 31 school teachers
from throughout Chilgok County toured Camp Carroll
July 27, meeting Soldiers and visiting a variety of on-
post facilities.
Teachers from 22 elementary and nine middle
schools were welcomed by Wilfred J. Plumley, Camp
Carroll installation manager, who said it was a good
opportunity for them to experience the installation and
meet the Soldiers and civilian employees who work
there.
Visits by teachers not only promote mutual
understanding between the U.S. Army and local
community leaders but also have a residual effect on
the young Korean students who the visitors are likely
to influence, said Pak Chong-ku, Camp Carroll
community relations officer.
