AFRC FEATURE:
Dragon Hill Lodge — Discover Seoul

For more than two decades, the Dragon Hill Lodge (DHL) has served as a year-round official and unofficial travel destination for servicemembers and their families stationed in Korea.

Located on the South Post of Yongsan Garrison in Seoul, Dragon Hill is one of five Armed Forces Recreation Centers (AFRCs) operated by the Army Installation Management Command (IMCOM) Family and MWR Programs (G9) Division.

Historically, the Dragon Hill Lodge has an annual occupancy that consists of close to 65 percent official travel — temporary duty (TDY)/permanent change of station (PCS) — and 35 percent leisure travel.

With the pending 2016 milestone for transformation of U.S. Forces in Korea (USFK), which will eliminate a significant portion of DHL's official travel occupancy, DHL is in the process of transforming its image.

Stay! Play! Relax! That is the motto for Navy Getaways, the recreational arm of the Commander, Navy Installations Command (CNIC) Navy Lodging Program.

Navy Getaways locations provide recreational experiences for active-duty, retirees, nonappropriated-fund (NAF) employees, Department of Defense (DoD) civilians and sponsored guests.

Military families can unwind for a few days in either vacation rentals — cabins, cottages, townhomes, condos, bunkhouses and resort-style vacation rentals — or recreational vehicle (RV) spots and tent camping sites that feature barbecue areas, laundry machines, bathhouses, kids' play areas, game rooms and community centers.
