CAMP CASEY, Gyeonggi Province — Maj. Gen. Charles Lombardo did not start the interview sitting behind a desk. Instead, he stood up and said he wanted to show the space himself. In the newly opened dining and recreation area on the base, Lombardo pointed to a wooden bar built from salvaged materials taken from a former commanding general’s mess at now-closed Camp Red Cloud. The space, he explained, was designed as a place where soldiers could gather, eat and socialize. “This is where soldiers come to eat and be together,” he told The Korea Times, moving through the room before leading the way down a hallway lined with artifacts and photographs. The tour continued past displays honoring previous commanders and units as well as images from the 1950-53 Korean War, a reminder of the division’s long history on the peninsula. Lombardo paused to explain that the 2nd Infantry Division remains the only permanently forward-stationed U.S. Army division and operates as part of a combined structure with South Korean forces. “It’s the only combined division in the U.S. Army,” he said.
