 Camp Humphreys welcomed its largest U.S. Army dental facility May 30th, 2017. The clinic, formerly located at U.S. Army Garrison, Yongseong, was reorganized at Camp Humphreys to increase dental service across the Korean Peninsula. The Carious Dental Clinic was named in honor of Major Marvin Wilbur Carious, a dentist from the 24th Medical Battalion. During the battle of Chosun Reservoir, he fought bravely with United Nations troops against the Chinese and North Korean Army. Major Carious was killed in action during this battle of the Korean War, December 9th, 1950, and was awarded the Purple Heart for his wartime service.
