History
Camp Stanley began as a tent city in 1955. The first U.S. Army helicopters moved to the base in 1954 and aviation units were stationed there until 2nd ID's relocation in August 2005. Various 2nd ID units operated out of the camp from 1971 through 2005. The camp was home to both 2nd ID's Division Artillery and Aviation units until base realignment handed command of the installation to the 501st Corps Support Group.
