USAG Yongsan -- Thanks to the wide availability of the internet through different electronic devices, it now easier to get information or news about anything at any time, to include USAG Yongsan. The garrison primarily uses seven methods to communicate with the public: the USAG Yongsan mobile application, the marquees, the USAG Yongsan website, Facebook, the Morning Calm newspaper, Flickr and Youtube. Each method has its own strength regarding visual aids and speed of information delivery.
The Yongsan mobile application can be found easily in both the Google Play Store and the Apple App Store by simply searching "USAG Yongsan." The Yongsan app contains useful information including bus schedules, and the USAG phonebook. The design is very straightforward and user-friendly. Users can receive emergency, or push, notifications for important issues such as gate closures, weather, and safety concerns. The app is the first line of communication for critical information.
The garrison Facebook page showcases information and photos of the garrison's most recent events. It is strongly recommended for viewers who are looking for fast updates. For instance, in situations of an emergency, the Facebook page is immediately updated with new information related to the emergency. The posts explain brief but important information regarding these events.

Major with biographical information. The website also contains a phonebook, garrison service listings, up-to-date articles from the local area, and much more.
