When I was in Korea, there were two types of alerts. One indicated it was simply a training exercise, while the other indicated it was not a drill, and live ammo was issued. We did have one during my time there (although I was at a different camp, every US Military facility in-country went on alert). However, the most famous of these alerts - which would have included Camp Carroll - would have been in 1976, during Operation Paul Bunyan, which was a US response to the murder of a US officer (Captain Bonifas, for whom Camp Bonifas on the DMZ is named) by axe-wielding North Korean soldiers in the Joint Security Area.

Camps do not go on alert individually in the ROK, except on training alerts - if one camp goes to full alert and starts issuing live ammunition, they all do.
