Camp Howze was a United States Army base in Bongilchon, South Korea, until it was deactivated and turned over to the South Korean Army in 2005.

At the time of its deactivation, it was the home of the 44th Engineer Battalion and Headquarters and Headquarters Detachment, Engineer Brigade, Second Infantry Division, although the 44th had taken part in the historic deployment of the 2d Brigade Combat Team, Second Infantry Division, in August 2004 in support of Operation Iraqi Freedom and redeployed to Fort Carson, Colorado, without ever returning to South Korea. Camp Howze was featured prominently in Larry Bond's Red Phoenix, a techno thriller.
