TOUR NORMALIZATION: USAG Yongsan Commander Col. Dave Hall reads stories to children to celebrate the Army birthday at the Yongsan Child Development Center. The number of command sponsored family members in Korea is expected to grow over the coming years. In December 2009 the Department of Defense increased accompanied tour lengths from two- to three-years for Service members assigned to Pyeongtaek, Osan, Daegu, Chinhae and Seoul. This new stationing policy maintains one-year unaccompanied tours for all locations, and authorizes two-year accompanied tours at Uijeongbu and Dongducheon. Existing infrastructure will allow an increase to 4,350 command sponsored positions. A phased program will synchronize further increases in family authorizations with the expansion of necessary infrastructure. This phased approach ensures that the appropriate level of necessary services, such as education and medical care, are in place as the number of family members increases.

Commander: BG John Uberti Command Sgt Major: CSM David Abbott Deputy: James M. Joyner Location: Seoul, South Korea News: http://imcom.korea.army.mil Photos: www.flickr.com/imcomkorea Videos: www.youtube.com/imcomkorea History: The Installation Management Command, a single organization with six regional offices worldwide, was activated on Oct. 24, 2006, to apply a uniform business structure to manage U.S. Army installations, sustain the environment and enhance the well-being of the military community. It consolidated three organizations under a single command as a direct reporting unit: The former Installation Management Agency; Family and Morale, Welfare and Recreation Command, and the Army Environmental Command, which is a subordinate command of IMCOM. The command brings together all base operations support services to ensure optimal care, support and training of our fighting force, overseeing all facets of installation support, including environmental programs, construction, morale and welfare, family care, force protection, logistics, public works, and the planning, programming and budget matters that provide resources for these functions. The establishment of IMCOM was a historic, comprehensive change enabling the Army to enhance quality of life for Soldiers, enable tactical units to focus on training, deployment and operations, strengthen combat readiness to prevail in transformation, and support the Army’s Vision. Mission: Our mission is to provide the U.S. Army in Korea the installation capabilities and services to support expeditionary operations in a time of persistent conflict, and to provide a quality of life for Soldiers & Families commensurate with their service. Vision: We are the Army’s home. We provide a source of balance that ensures, an environment in which Soldiers and Families can thrive, a structure that supports unit readiness in an era of persistent conflict, and a foundation for building the future. Army Family Covenant: We recognize the commitment and increasing sacrifices that our families are making every day and are committed to providing Soldiers and families a quality of life that is commensurate with their service. We are also working to providing our families a strong, supportive environment where they can thrive, and are committed to building a partnership with Army families that enhances their strength and resilience and improve family readiness.

DoDEA Virtual School program
DoDEA will operate a Virtual School starting with School Year 2009/2010. Department of Defense Dependent Education Activity (DoDEA) has operated a successful Distance Learning Program since 1990. DoDEA is transforming the existing distance learning program to provide a comprehensive accredited Virtual School by SY 10-11. The major goals of the DoDEA Virtual School Program are to (1) Provide a fully accredited Virtual School Program for Grades 9-12 to meet DoDEA’s graduation requirements and address course needs of eligible students; (2) develop and deliver customized, standards-based courses that contain flexibility to provide students with differentiated instruction and provide opportunities for increased synchronous interaction to support active engagement and help students be successful in the online environment; and (3) address the educational needs of military-connected students in transition and ensure that eligible students have access to a quality DoDEA educational experience, regardless of location or circumstance. Beginning SY 09/10, DoDEA will establish a DoDDS-Pacific/DDESS-Guam Area hub in Korea. There will be 37 courses available through the DoDEA Virtual School Program. Thirteen of these courses will be taught by DoDEA Virtual School teachers and twenty-four courses will be available through a DoDEA contracted vendor. At least four of these courses will be taught

from the Virtual School hub in Korea. Most of the thirteen courses are offered by teachers in the European hub. Eventually, courses will also be taught from a domestic hub. The twenty-four courses offered through a DoDEA contracted vendor will provide limited seats for DoDEA students throughout the world in subject areas where courses are not yet developed within the DoDEA Virtual School Program. Utilizing contracted vendors helps DoDEA meet immediate needs of individual or small groups of students who need a course to graduate. In the future, we plan to reduce the number of vendor-delivered courses as we expand our course offerings delivered through the DoDEA Virtual School Program. For SY 09/10 we anticipate the target audience attending the Virtual School will be those students wishing to supplement their course offerings at a DoDDS school or to supplement their course offerings in their Non-DoD School Program placement. For additional information on Virtual School opportunities, please contact your respective high school principal: Seoul American High School – 738-8140 Osan American High School – 784-9096 Daegu American School – 768-9500

WELCOME TO KOREA

ARMY FAMILY HOUSING: Army Family Covenant signing ceremonies were held at installations throughout Korea as a symbolic commitment to family quality of life. Tower, or high rise style family housing in Korea provides ample living space for an average American family while being conveniently located to post amenities. Hannam Village and Burke Towers at USAG Yongsan and family housing in Daegu follow this style. Housing under construction at Humphreys Garrison has also been developed to meet the needs of families by providing highrise design with a Main Street USA feel.

Army Housing:

Welcome home to Korea
Army Family Housing Accompanied, command-sponsored personnel are housed in Army Family Housing. When you inprocess at the housing office, your name will be placed on the appropriate waiting list for your rank and family composition. Placement on the waiting list will be based on your eligibility date, normally the date you departed your previous duty station. The bedroom requirements are determined by the size of your family. Couples with no children or with one child are eligible for two-bedroom units. Sponsors with two children are authorized threebedroom units and families with three or more children are authorized a four-bedrooms unit. Family housing is normally available upon arrival except for four- and five-bedroom requirements. Families with a requirement of four bedrooms or more may voluntarily accept a unit with fewer bedrooms than they are authorized. This may significantly decrease the waiting time for quarters; however, keep in mind that you will be considered adequately housed for the remainder of your tour, if you elect to do this. The Housing Office provides travel decisions for concurrent travel (family housing available within 60 days of arrival), deferred travel (housing available within 140 days of arrival) and non-concurrent travel (housing available after 140 days of arrival). For information on housing travel status or availability of family housing, contact your local housing office. Off-Post Housing Off-post housing is plentiful and consists of highrise, mid- and low-rise apartments, villas, duplexes and some single homes. Civilian employees are required to reside off post except for positions designated as key and essential. For active-duty military, regardless of service, you can only reside off post if adequate government quarters for your rank and family size are not available. You will then be given a certificate of non-availability and authorization to seek economy quarters. Regardless if you are military or civilian, do not enter into a lease agreement without processing through the Housing Referral Office. Unaccompanied Personnel Housing Unaccompanied personnel are normally assigned to Unaccompanied Personnel Housing on post. These facilities consist of newly renovated barracks, bachelor enlisted quarters, senior enlisted quarters and bachelor officer quarters. Unaccompanied personnel are required to reside in on-post government quarters if space is available for their rank. Only when UPH is full will Servicemembers be given a certificate of nonavailability and be authorized to reside off post. For additional information on UPH, please call 738-5506. Living Quarters Allowance LQA is a tax-free allowance paid to civilian employees recruited from the U.S. in order to substantially offset the cost for suitable permanent housing while stationed in Korea. LQA covers the cost of rent and utilities. Most civilian employees assigned to Korea live off-post in modern, spacious apartments. Upon arrival to Korea employees will meet with the Garrison housing office and receive assistance in finding just the right home.

WELCOME TO KOREA

Prepare early for PCS moves
Special to the Morning Calm Personal Property Shipping and Processing Offices experience their peak movement season each year from May through August. During these months, there are as many personal property shipments as the rest of the year combined. As such, customers are reminded to plan their moves well in advance. Customers who are within the 90 days of their Date Expected to Return from Overseas and still do not have reassignment instructions, should contact their order-issuing authority in order to expedite processing and issuance of their orders as soon as possible. Servicemembers, retirees, and DoD employees are advised to make counseling appointments with PPPOs in their area of responsibility immediately upon receipt of PCS/ Travel Orders. In order to obtain desired packing and pick up dates, customers should make counseling appointments at least three weeks in advance to alleviate conflicts that may occur with desired packing and pick up dates. When scheduling dates, customers should remember to: n Avoid scheduling pickup dates on the day their housing lease expires, since this prevents adjustments for unforeseen challenges such as carrier equipment shortages which sometimes occur during this busy time of year. n Avoid changing their scheduled packing and pickup days once made—there is no guarantee that they will be able to obtain immediate or near-term alternate dates. n Please understand that not everyone will be able to move on the last day of the month due to the many moves occurring during this peak movement season. As a reminder, certain items cannot be shipped. These items include: n Combustible liquids (certain alcoholic beverages, antifreeze compounds) n Explosives (fireworks, propellants, ammunition) n Compressed gases (fire extinguishers, scuba diving tanks, aerosol cans) Corrosive liquids (acids, acidic batteries, disinfectants, rust preventing/removing compounds) n Flammables (acetone, ammonia, cleaning fluids, enamel, kerosene/gasoline, propane tanks, enamel, paint, varnish, turpentine) Pets are another important part of many people’s PCS moves, shipment of pets are the owner’s responsibility and must be done at the owner’s expense. Commercial airlines often restrict shipment of pets to certain destinations during summer months due to high temperatures coupled with extended aircraft ground times. Pet owners should coordinate their shipments well in advance of their projected departures with the airlines. Members are referred to the Transportation and Travel “It’s Your Move” Army Pamphlet 55-2 on the SDDC Home Page: www.sddc.army.mil for further helpful shipping information. IMCOM Korea Installation Transportation Offices remain committed to assist you in everything possible to help ensure you have a smooth move. Early preparation by people moving during the
n

peak movement season will greatly help. DoD Customers (Service Members, Retirees and Department of Defense Civilians) now enjoy Full Replacement Value protection on most DoD-funded personal property shipments. Under the FRV program, the Transportation Service Provider/Carrier is liable for the greater of $5,000 per shipment or $4 times the net weight of the shipment (in pounds), up to $50,000. The Military Surface Deployment and Distribution Command have published a detailed set of guidelines that governs FRV coverage on its website. DoD Customers can find the website at http://www.sddc.army.mil/ ; click Full Replacement Value Protection. Further FRV information can be found on the various Military Claims Offices websites. For information, contact Grant Robinson, Traffic Management Specialist, Transportation Branch, Logistics Division, IMCOM- Korea, at 738-3466.

History: Yongsan Garrison is one of nine Army installations that make up U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan. Yongsan is home to the headquarters of the U.S. military presence in Korea, known as United States Forces Korea, as well as the headquarters for the 8th U.S. Army and the Installation Management Command Korea Region.At the close of World War II, U.S. forces took over the garrison from occupying Japanese Imperial Army soldiers. The newly formed Republic of Korea government granted U.S. forces permission to use the garrison. During the Korean War, the garrison was abandoned, and then reclaimed. Camp Coiner, covering approximately 50 acres on Yongsan Garrison’s northern edge, is named after 2nd Lt. Randall Coiner, a Korean War Silver Star recipient. After the Korean War it served as Korea’s primary in-processing facility for Army troops. The 1st Replacement Company serves as the central in-processing and orientation center for U.S. Servicemembers and their families arriving to Korea. The garrison also provides installation support for a U.S. Army leased housing area called Hannam Village, K-16 Air Base, Camp Kim, Camp Market, the Far East District Compound, several remote signal sites, Camp Morse, Sungnam Golf Course, Command Post Tango and Camp Coiner.

Commander: Col. Joseph P. Moore Command Sgt. Major: Jason K. Kim Deputy: David W. Frodsham Location: Pyeongtaek, South Korea Population: 10,000 http://humphreys.korea.army.mil/ History: The airfield was originally constructed in 1919, by the Japanese and was known as the Pyeongtaek Airfield during the Korean War. It was called K-6 when the U.S. Air Force repaired and built a new runway to accommodate a Marine Air Group and the 614th Tactical Control Group. In 1961, the airfield was re-named Camp Humphreys, in honor of CWO Benjamin K. Humphreys of the 6th Transportation Company, who died in a helicopter accident near here. The Humphreys District Command was activated in 1964 as a separate installation command of the Eighth U.S. Army. Later it was designated as the 23rd Direct Support Group, which provided all direct support, supply and maintenance, training aides, and operated the Eighth Army Milk Plant. In 1974, with the activation of the 19th Support Brigade, this was designated as U.S. Army Garrison, Camp Humphreys. In 1985, it was restructured to support wartime missions and was designated the 23rd Support Group. In 1996, a separate U.S. Army Support Activity Area III was activated to provide base operations and community support.

Welcome to United States Army Garrison HumphreysHongseong of choice and the the installation fastest growing area in the Republic of Korea. Located in Pyeongtaek, South Korea, about 55 miles south of Seoul, USAG Humphreys is home to the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade of the 2nd Infantry Division, Military Intelligence units and other military organizations. For years Humphreys was known as a Gwangcheon small, quiet installation but with the decision to relocate all of U.S. Forces Korea south of Cheongyang Seoul the post is rapidly changing. Eventually, USAG Humphreys will be the new home to United States Forces Korea. Songyun The current population is approximately 10,000—about 3,500 are Servicemembers, the rest Civilians, Family Members and contractors. The population should eventually grow to approximately 65,000. To support the current and future population new facilities are going up all over post that will provide Army-Standard service to all who live, work, serve, train and play here. Gone are the Quonset Huts, corrugated metal buildings that became an unofficial signature of the Army in Korea; they have been replaced by gleaming new high-rise buildings to house Families and Soldiers in comfort. Two new multi-story troop billets with their own dining facility opened recently and provide top-notch living accommodations and dining for Soldiers. Ground was broken for six new 1 + 1 Soldier barracks that will open later this year. The installation is home to Humphreys

Location: Daegu, South Korea Population: 5,000 History: United States Army Garrison Daegu is headquartered on Camp Henry. During the Korean War, the camp saw little action because it was inside the northern edge of what became known as the Pusan (now Busan) Perimeter. The camp was used by the Korean Army after its liberation from Japan in 1945 and then used by the United States after the Korean War. The camp was memorialized in May 1960 in honor of First Lieutenant Frederick F. Henry, who served with Company Geochang F, 38th Infantry Regiment, 2nd Infantry Division. Henry was posthumously awarded the Medal of Honor for action near Am-dong, Korea, on Sept. 1, 1950.

THE KOREAN WAR

Korean War overview, 1950-1953
Outbreak of the War The Korean War began with a surprise attack June 25, 1950, when eight divisions and an armored brigade (90,000 soldiers) of the North Korean People’s Army attacked in three columns across the 38th parallel and invaded the Republic of Korea. Many of the NKPA were battle-tested, having served in the Chinese and Soviet armies in World War II. The 98,000-strong ROK Army, its combat training incomplete, and having no tanks and only 89 howitzers, was no match for the betterequipped NKPA. Aided only by a 500-man U.S. Korean Military Advisory Group, the ROKA was overwhelmed. Spearheaded by tanks, NKPA forces moved rapidly through the Uijongbu Gap on the west side of the Korean peninsula and captured Seoul, South Korea’s capital. The ROKA fled south in disarray across the Han River toward Pusan, a major port at the southeastern tip of the Korean peninsula. On June 25, the U.N. Security Council denounced North Korea’s actions and called for a cessation of hostilities and withdrawal of the NKPA to the 38th parallel. President Harry S. Truman directed General of the Army Douglas MacArthur, whose Far East Command was located in Tokyo, to evacuate American dependents from Korea and send ammunition to the beleaguered ROKA. The following day, Truman sanctioned the use of American air and naval forces below the 38th parallel. The next day, as the situation worsened, the United Nations requested its members to furnish military assistance to repel the invasion. Truman then extended American air and naval actions to North Korea and authorized the use of U.S. Army troops to protect Pusan. MacArthur, however, recommended committing a U.S. Army regiment in the Seoul area. Truman agreed, and on June 30 he told MacArthur to use all forces available to him. South to the Naktong Ground forces most readily available to MacArthur included the 1st Cavalry Division and the 7th, 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions, all under 8th U.S. Army headquartered in Japan; the 29th Regimental Combat Team in Okinawa, Japan; and the 5th RCT from Hawaii. But these units were hard pressed to defend the ROK because they were undermanned and their mobility and firepower had been reduced by shortages of organic units and equipment. In an effort to delay the NKPA advance, MacArthur ordered the 1st Battalion, 21st Infantry Regiment of the 24th Infantry Division moved to a defensive position astride the main road near Osan, 10 miles below Suwon. Named Task Force Smith after the battalion commander, this 540-man command lacked effective anti-tank weapons and was ill-prepared to stop the NKPA. Outflanked by an NKPA division and suffering some 200 casualties and the loss of all equipment, TF Smith broke into a disorganized retreat. Meanwhile, at the United Nation’s request, the United States formed the United Nations Command, which would integrate all American and allied forces. General MacArthur became its commander. He assigned command of ground forces in Korea to Eighth U.S. Army under Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker. At the request of ROK President Syngman Rhee, Walker also assumed command of the ROK Army. By the beginning of August, after the arrival of the 29th RCT from Okinawa on July 26, Eighth U.S. Army held only a small portion of southeastern Korea. Walker ordered a stand along a 140-mile line arching from the Korea Strait to the East Sea west and north of Busan. Known as the “Pusan Perimeter,” American divisions occupied the western segment, basing their position along the Naktong River; the ROK Army defended the northern segment. With Pusan secure, additional troops and equipment began arriving to reinforce EUSA’s perilously long, thin defensive line. At the same time the arrival of the U.S. Army’s 5th RCT from Hawaii, the 2d Infantry Division and the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade from the United States, and a British infantry brigade, strengthened EUSA. North to the Yalu Truman authorized MacArthur to send his forces north of the 38th parallel on Sept. 27, provided there was no indication that major Soviet or Chinese Communist Forces would enter the war. The U.N. General Assembly approved the UNC’s entry into North Korea 10 days later, when it called for the restoration of peace and security throughout Korea. American and ROK Army forces rapidly advanced northward. Warnings of Chinese intervention increased as the UNC pressed deeper into North Korea. At a Wake Island meeting on Oct. 15, Truman directed MacArthur to continue his advance if he believed UNC forces had a reasonable chance of success. Hoping to end operations before the onset of winter, MacArthur ordered all ground forces to advance to the northern border as rapidly as possible. The New War Beginning on Oct. 25, UNC forces met stout resistance almost everywhere across their front. On November 1, the 1st Cavalry Division’s 8th Cavalry Regiment fought fierce battles with the CCF. Severe fighting continued Nov. 5–6, after which the CCF abruptly halted its activities in all sectors, leaving the UNC uncertain as to whether the CCF’s actions had been merely defensive. Tenth Corps, reinforced by the U.S. 3d Infantry Division, and EUSA slowly renewed their offensive. Thinning logistical lines of support, inadequate intelligence and sub-zero cold added to the difficulties of the UNC. With the 7th Division leading, X Corps reached the Yalu at the town of Hyesanjin. Eighth Army units

Incheon Having traded space for time, MacArthur saw that the deeper the NKPA drove south, the more vulnerable it became to an amphibious envelopment. The amphibious force consisted of the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry Division, its ranks fleshed out with several thousand Korean recruits. MacArthur’s decision to land at Incheon was a dangerous but remarkably bold and successful gamble. Tidal conditions allowed only a small window of opportunity for the landing. Moreover, he would be committing his last major reserves at a time when no more general reserve units were available in the United States. Following the successful, lightly opposed landings at Incheon on Sept. 15, arduous streetto-street combat took place to liberate Seoul. On Sept. 29, the capital city was returned to President Rhee. Although many communist guerillas would remain behind, the NKPA virtually disintegrated and ceased to be an effective fighting force.

Photo by Peterson, Army) TOP RIGHT: U.N. forces crossing the 38th parallel, withdrawing from Pyongyang. began moving forward from the Chongchon on Nov. 24, and were hit hard by strong CCF attacks. On Nov. 27, the attacks engulfed the leftmost forces of the X Corps at the Changjin (Chosin) Reservoir, and by Nov. 28th, UNC positions began to crumble. MacArthur informed Washington that the UNC faced an entirely new war. With more than 300,000 Chinese in North Korea, he directed Walker to withdraw to escape envelopment by the CCF. MacArthur ordered X Corps to fall back to a beachhead around the port of Hungnam. Unrelenting CCF pressure, which often included surprise nighttime assaults and hand-to-hand combat and the rigors of a harsh winter, made the UNC’s retreat dangerous and costly. The 2d Division, covering the withdrawal of I Corps and the ROK II Corps from the Chongchon, encountered an entrenched CCF force below the town of Kunu-ri. The CCF surrounded and severely punished the 2d Division as the unit fought its way through the gauntlet to escape. Changjin (Chosin) Reservoir Abandoning Pyongyang on Dec. 5, elements of 8th U.S. Army reached the 38th parallel 10 days later, where it prepared to protect Seoul and develop a coast-to-coast defense. Tenth Corps fought a 13-day running battle to the east coast as it withdrew to Hungnam. Near the Changjin Reservoir, the 1st Marine Division and elements of the U.S. 7th Division met stiff opposition from the CCF in positions overlooking the mountain road to the sea. The 3d Division, positioned near Hungnam with X Corps, was sent inland to open the road and protect the withdrawal of the Army and Marine Corps units. On Dec. 11, X Corps completed its move to Hungnam, and American and ROK Army forces began their evacuation to Pusan the same day. Tenth Corps, which became part of 8th U.S. Army , completed the evacuation Christmas Eve. A Change in Leadership CCF attacks and successive withdrawals had weakened EUSA, and General Walker’s accidental death on Dec. 23, was another dispiriting blow. Lieutenant General Matthew B. Ridgway, who arrived from Washington, D.C., on Dec. 26, took command of EUSA. Despite Ridgway’s hurried efforts to brace the defensive line across the peninsula, he and his men could not contain the CCF’s New Year’s offensive. Seoul fell in early January 1951. Ridgway pulled EUSA’s entire front below the 38th parallel. When the CCF offensive faltered in mid-January, Ridgway was ready to resume the offensive and adopted a strategy to inflict maximum casualties on the enemy with minimum losses to his troops. Ridgway proposed a war of maneuver, slashing the enemy as it withdrew and fighting delaying actions when the enemy attacked. Land gains became less important than damaging the CCF/ NKPA and keeping the enemy off balance. Ridgway’s offensive began on Jan. 25, advancing slowly and methodically, ridge by ridge, phase line by phase line, wiping out each pocket of resistance before moving farther north. Operations THUNDERBOLT, KILLER, RIPPER and RUGGED carried the U.N. forces forward. EUSA liberated Seoul in mid-March and neared the 38th parallel. For the next month, EUSA cautiously probed north of the parallel, expanding the front first to phase Line KANSAS, 10 miles above the 38th, and then to the Iron Triangle, an enemy logistical area north of Line KANSAS. Ridgway’s ground strategy proved apt for the new, more limited objectives that American and U.N. officials adopted of clearing the CCF/NKPA from South Korea and opening negotiations with the enemy. Because of differences

regarding war strategy and goals, Truman relieved MacArthur as United Nations Forces commander on April 11, and replaced him with Ridgway. On April 14, Lieutenant General James A. Van Fleet succeeded Ridgway as head of EUSA. Eight days after Van Fleet assumed command, the enemy began its spring offensive. The major CCF and NKPA attack was directed at Seoul. The I Corps contained the enemy’s advance. EUSA halted the attack on May 20, after the enemy had penetrated 30 miles. Seeking to preclude another enemy attack, Van Fleet ordered EUSA forward. By the end of May, EUSA had progressed to a position just short of Line KANSAS, having virtually cleared the ROK of enemy troops. Van Fleet moved next to reach Line WYOMING, which would give EUSA control of the lower portion of the Iron Triangle. When the Soviet Union’s delegate to the United Nations proposed a cease-fire in Korea on June 23, 8th U.S. Army occupied Line KANSAS and the Wyoming Bulge, ground suitable for a strong defense. The Static War As the fighting lapsed into patrolling and small local clashes, armistice negotiations began on July 10, 1951. The opposing delegations agreed that hostilities would continue until an armistice was signed. Except for brief episodes, action along the front for the next two years never regained the momentum of the first year. On Nov. 17, the two delegations agreed that a line of demarcation during the armistice would be the existing line of contact provided an agreement was reached in 30 days. On Nov. 12, Ridgway ordered Van Fleet to cease offensive operations. Fighting tapered off to patrol clashes, raids and small battles for possession of outposts in no-man’s land. The battlefield stalemate was periodically interrupted by artillery duels, ambushes, raids and costly small-scale hill battles such as Old Baldy. The battlefield lull enabled the Army to

return the 1st Cavalry and 24th Infantry Divisions to Japan and to replace them with the 40th and 45th Infantry Divisions, two of the eight Army National Guard divisions that were mobilized during the war. A new United Nations Forces commander, General Mark W. Clark, replaced Ridgway in May 1952, and Lieutenant General Maxwell D. Taylor replaced Van Fleet as 8th U.S. Army commander in February 1953. As armistice negotiations entered their final and decisive phase in May, the enemy stepped up combat action. CCF forces launched regimental attacks against EUSA outposts in the west. In July, the enemy sought to wrest more ground from the UNC by driving a wedge eight miles deep into 8th Army’s central sector. Taylor quickly contained the enemy and counterattacked, but with an armistice agreement imminent, 8th U.S. Army halted its attack on July 20 short of the original line. Finally, on July 27, 1953, the Armistice was signed and all fighting stopped. After 37 months of combat, total UNC casualties reached more than 550,000, including 95,000 dead. American losses included 33,686 killed and 103,284 wounded. United States Army casualties alone totaled 27,728 dead and 77,596 wounded. The bulk of these casualties occurred during the first year of fighting. The estimate of enemy casualties, including prisoners, exceeded 1,500,000 of whom 900,000 were Chinese. The Army deployed eight divisions to Korea-the 1st Cavalry Division; the 2d, 3d, 7th, 24th, 25th, 40th and 45th Infantry Divisions; and the 5th, 29th and 187th RCTs. U.S. Army personnel received 78 of the 131 Medals of Honor awarded to military members who served in Korea.

KATUSA
Korean Augmentee to the United States Army
In Korea, most military-aged males must serve in the armed forces for a period of at least two years. Some of these young men perform their obligation to their country by becoming integrated into the 8th U.S. Army through a unique program known as Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army. KATUSA Soldiers are Republic of Korea Army soldiers who serve under the U.S. chain of command, but are commanded by the ROK Army in personnel management. The KATUSA program began in July 1950, through an informal agreement between the ROK president and Gen. Douglas MacArthur to augment U.S. forces during the early stages of the Korean War. Until 1982, KATUSA Soldiers were selected from either the Army Basic Military Training Center or cadres of ROK Army units. Currently, KATUSA Soldiers are chosen randomly among a pool comprised of those who have demonstrated English proficiency as measured by a standardized test. The KATUSA program is important because KATUSA Soldiers comprise approximately 10 percent of the total 8th U.S. Army manpower in Korea, with more than 3,500 KATUSA Soldiers serving side-by-side with their U.S. counterparts. The program also serves as a combat multiplier and increases combat readiness for the U.S. and ROK combined defense capability throughout the Korean peninsula. In addition, the program is symbolic of the U.S and ROK alliance and mutual support systems. Because of their limited service time, KATUSA Soldiers have a promotion system that differs from U.S. Soldiers. While their American counterparts gain promotion by amassing points and attending boards, KATUSA Soldiers serve in a rank for a specified period of time and are then automatically promoted to the next highest rank. ROKA staff office has five major missions. These include KATUSA management, KATUSA discipline, ROKA-directed training, U.S. and ROK friendship activities and U.S. and ROK liaison work. Serving as a KATUSA Soldier is a tradition that strengthens the Republic of Korea and the ROK-U.S. military Alliance.

KOREAN DEMILITARIZED ZONE

WELCOME EDITION • PAGE 27 http://imcom.korea.army.mil

Take a trip inside the Korean Demilitarized Zone
PANMUNJOM — The Korean War began on a Sunday morning in 1950, when Communist North Korean struck South Korea in a pre-dawn infantry and artillery assault. Over the next three years it is estimated that about one million South Koreans were killed or went missing in the conflict. An additional 33,686 U.S. Servicemembers perished in battle at places with names like “Heartbreak Ridge” and “Pork Chop Hill.” Almost exactly three years after the conflict began, a cease-fire was declared on July 27, 1953 and since that time North and South Korea have been separated by one of the world’s most intensely guarded borders. The Korean DMZ cuts across the peninsula near the 38th parallel, along the line of fighting positions held by each side when the cease-fire was called. That cease-fire remains in effect today. A journey to the DMZ helps to illustrate the importance of the U.S. military presence in Korea, and the vital partnership of the US-ROK Alliance. Interesting sites to visit include Dorasan Station, a railroad that runs between the two Koreas; the “Third Infiltration Tunnel”, one of four known tunnels constructed by North Korea; The Military Armistice Commission Building, and the Bridge of No Return, a historic remnant of the Cold War era, which crosses
the DMZ in the Joint Security Area. The bridge is especially noteworthy as it was used for prisoner exchanges at the end of the Korean War. The name originates from the fact that prisoners were given the choice to remain in the country of their captivity or cross over to the other country. But if they chose to cross the bridge, they would never be allowed to return. Today, a trip to the Korean Demilitarized Zone can be a surreal experience. Often described as the most heavily defended border in the world, this remains one of the only places on earth where large armies still stand toe-to-toe in formidable opposition. Inside the DMZ, Panmunjom is a heavily fortified encampment, patrolled at all times by ROK soldiers in stoic silence. Rigid protocol dictates that visitors are not to wave, shout or gesticulate in any way toward North Korean guards positioned just yards away. For the most part, it’s exactly what one would expect from such a place. But the DMZ reveals a few surprises. It may be the last place one would expect to find a popular tourist attraction with a gift shop and a one-hole golf course. Servicemembers, Civilians and Family Members are encouraged to visit the DMZ while stationed in Korea. For information on the USO’s tour schedule or reservations, call DSN 795-3063/3028 or DSN 724-7781.

Ration Readiness:

Ration Control Card use in US Forces Korea
Information courtesy of USAG Yongsan and USAG Daegu Public Affairs For Civilian employees and Family Members, the most important thing you may need in Korea, besides a great pair of walking shoes, is a Ration Control Card. Your ration card is just as important as your military identification card. In short, it is a card that most on-post businesses, like Army and Air Force Exchange, commissary and various other facilities need to see before you can make purchases. Officials want to make sure you are not purchasing huge quantities of any item in order to resell. Your sponsor should be able to help provide you with a temporary card when you arrive. To get a ration card, applicants must attend a training session at the Yongsan Readiness Center. Upon completion of the course, applicants will receive a memorandum to take to the Directorate of Emergency Services, Ration Control Issue Point. DES at Yongsan is located on South Post at U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan, Bldg. 4305, Room 105. For information, call 738-4612. USAG Daegu has two issue points on Camp Henry (768-7158) in Daegu and on Camp Carroll (765-7890) in Waegwan. Here is some important information you should know about ration control and how to make sure you can do your part to combat black marketing: g You will need a ration card for each authorized Family Member (children ages 10 and up). g Don’t leave home without it. g During their first two weeks in Korea, Civilian employees and Family Members can shop in the commissary and exchange with a military identification card and a copy of their PCS orders. g Family Members with sponsors assigned to 2nd Infantry Division need to contact the Division Liaison Office at the Yongsan Readiness Center across the parking lot of the Dragon Hill Lodge for a ration card. g Every purchase in the commissary is recorded in a real-time system based on a shopper’s identification number. The commissary system sends information to a database which automatically generates a violation notice if you exceed your purchase limit. g At the PX, ration limits restrict purchasing a maximum of three of the same high-value item. Cosmetics, select health and beauty aids and select wines are some of the high-value, highdemand items. Ration card process and procedures will be covered in-depth during the inprocessing program at the Yongsan Readiness Center.

Yongsan’s 1st Replacement Company provides ‘one-stop’ orientation for newcomers
YONGSAN GARRISON, REPUBLIC OF KOREA – The 1st Replacement Company, the central inprocessing and orientation center for nearly everyone on orders to Korea, has a new four-day program. 1RC officials reorganized the current five-day program into four days. “We did this so we could get Soldiers out to their units faster,” said CSM Ralph Rusch, Yongsan Garrison Command Sergeant Major. “After analyzing the schedule, we realized there was some down time that we could use better, and this makes more efficient use of Soldiers’ time.” The 1RC is designed to be a one-stop central inprocessing and orientation center for Soldiers and Civilians and their Families who will live in Areas II, III and IV. It first opened in August 2007 under a USFK initiative to provide in-depth orientation for newcomers to Korea. While Soldiers must attend the entire four days, Civilians and Family Members must attend two of the four days. Soldiers who will be assigned to 2nd Infantry Division will inprocess at the Warrior Readiness Center located at Camp Stanley, Rusch said. New arrivals initially check in with the 1st Replacement Company, from arrival at the airport through the next full duty day, referred to as “Day 0.” The 1RC takes over from there. “We call our four days of inprocessing Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta, respectively,” Rusch explained. “They rotate and are not tied to any specific day of the week. If you arrive Tuesday evening, then Wednesday is your Day 0 with the 1RC and Thursday is your Day Alpha, Bravo, Charlie or Delta, depending on the briefing schedule for the current week.” Two days of orientation for Soldiers consist of briefings introducing them to policies, regulations, and readiness training inherent to Korea, including Department of the Army-mandated personal financial management training for first-term Soldiers. Civilian Employees and Family Members join in on Charlie and Delta days, which focus on available family and community programs, ration card process and procedures, and Korean culture, including a trip to the Korean War Museum adjacent to Yongsan Main Post. For Yongsan-based families, Army Community Service hosts an hourlong windshield tour of Yongsan Garrison. “Everyone loves the cultural sessions,” Rusch said. “The feedback we get shows that is the highlight of the training, and they want more.” Spouses, Civilians, and Family Members eligible for ration cards must attend Charlie and Delta days as a prerequisite to getting a ration card. The 1RC also has a free child-care facility on-site with a capacity of 15 children. “The program has really become a family-friendly experience,” Rusch said. “We want your first impressions of Korea to be positive.” g

etter Opportunities for Single and Unaccompanied Soldiers, or BOSS, is a dynamic Soldier program in Korea. It is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for single or geographically single Soldiers of all ranks by providing them an effective voice at the installation where they serve. Soldiers and FMWR advisors work hand-in-hand with Commanders, Command Sergeants’ Major, and First Sergeants to provide superior leisure programs and help direct the resolution of quality of life issues for Soldiers. What is BOSS? The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers Program supports the overall quality of single and unaccompanied Soldiers’ lives. BOSS identifies real Soldier well being issues and concerns by recommending improvements through the chain of command. BOSS encourages and assists single Soldiers in identifying and planning for recreational and leisure activities. Additionally, it gives single Soldiers the opportunity to participate in and contribute to their respective communities. History of BOSS The BOSS program was established in 1989 to respond to the recreational needs of single soldiers, who make up 40% of the Army. As the program was implemented throughout the Army, it became evident that well being was the primary concern of single soldiers. In 1991, the Chief of Staff of the Army officially expanded BOSS to include all aspects of soldiers’ lives. BOSS members later began to express an interest in participating in community service projects. Recreation and leisure, well being (Quality of Life), and community service are the core components of the BOSS program. How Does BOSS Work? Installations establish a formal BOSS program,

to include a BOSS council consisting of single Soldier representatives from installation units. Typically, the installation Command Sergeant Major serves as the senior military advisor to the council. An installation FMWR advisor is appointed to provide guidance in planning activities, financial accountability, and marketing. Motivated single Soldiers with strong senior military and FMWR guidance are the backbone of the BOSS program. Who May Participate in BOSS events? All events are targeted to the single and unaccompanied Soldier. Although the intent of the BOSS program in Korea is for single and unaccompanied Soldiers; events are typically open to all authorized FMWR users. What Happens to the Issues Raised by BOSS? Issues addressed during a BOSS meeting will be formatted and submitted to the senior military advisor to seek resolution through the proper command channels or staff agency. Issues that cannot be resolved at the installation level are coordinated with the installation Army Family Action Plan coordinator and may be released by the installation commander to go forward to the major Army command AFAP. What is the Soldier’s Role in BOSS? BOSS councils are comprised of single and unaccompanied Soldiers from major subordinate commands and separate units on an installation. Single and unaccompanied Soldiers have and opportunity to become unit representatives, volunteer to assist in planning an event, and/or attend BOSS activities. The Department of the Army BOSS circular 608-0401 defines the roles of the chain of command and FMWR personnel at all levels

Korean language basics
The Korean written language, Hangul, is very easy for newcomers to Korea to learn in just a few hours. Knowing how to sound out words can help with reading street signs, subway station names, and names of businesses. Many English and other foreign words are written in Hangul in Korean. You’ll be amazed at how many signs you can read and excited when you discover that you recognize English words written in Hangul. There have been many different styles of romanization for Korean over the years. Recently a revised romanization of Korean has been adopted. It was developed by the National Academy of the Korean Language from 1995 and was released to the public on July 7, 2000, by South Korea's Ministry of Culture and Tourism. This guide uses that revised romanization standard. To properly pronounce romanized Korean, use the pronunciation guide at the right.
ROMANIZED KOREAN PRONUNCIATION GUIDE Consonants in Korean sound similar to English consonants. Generally, hard consonants in Korean like “k” and “p” are not as hard as the English versions unless a double consonant like “kk” or “pp” is used. There are many exceptions that you will learn through experience. Vowels can be a little bit tricky. The romanized korean letter “i” is always pronounced with a long “e” sound like in the word “seen”. The romanized letters “e” and “ae” are pronounced with a short “e” sound like “beg”. The letters “oe” together sound like the word “way”. The letter “a” is pronounced with the short “a” sound like in the word “blah”. The letter “o” is pronounced like the vowel sound in the word “boat”. The letter “u” is pronounced like the vowel sound in “swoon”. The vowel combination “eo” is pronounced like “aw” in “saw”. The vowel combination “eu” is pronounced like the vowel sound in “good”. The vowel combination “ui” is pronounced like “whee”. All of the vowel combinations that start with the letter “y” and “w” are pronounced with a “y” or “w” sound added to the beginning of the sound.

USO in Korea: There for you
USO Seoul, Camp Kim Tel: 724-3301/7781/7003 Address: #104, Galwol-Dong, Yongsan-Ku, Seoul 140-150, Korea

What to expect upon arriving at Incheon
When you arrive in Korea at Incheon International Airport, one thing is almost certain - you will be tired and wish you were anywhere else rather than dealing with paperwork. Do not, under any circumstances, try to bring weapons or contraband into Korea. While the customs inspectors are pleasant and helpful, they are also very thorough. Contraband, such as drugs and deer antlers, will get you in trouble not only with the Koreans but also the U.S. Military Police. All incoming personnel must first process through the 1st Replacement Company desk at the airport. Inbound Army personnel must use the 1RC bus to Yongsan Garrison. Soldiers have to use this form of transportation, unless a sponsor has obtained prior clearance from 1RC. This policy applies to staff sergeants and below. Senior noncommissioned officers and officers can be picked up by a sponsor if they get prior clearance. For information, call 7236452, or commercial 0505-723-6452. At Incheon International Airport, newcomers are met by U.S. Forces Korea reception personnel at the baggage claim area. If you do not see the reception personnel in the terminal, go through the entire customs and immigration and baggage claim process with your leave form, orders and identification card ready. For civilians only, make sure your passport is stamped. You should look for the U.S. Military Liaison Office located near Gate 14. There are several exits out of the baggage claim area. If you are unsure which exit is correct, go ahead and depart any exit. You should read the monitors located above the exit doors. Your flight number will be posted with an exit door letter. If you have exited the wrong way, don’t worry, you will be able to easily walk to the correct exit. Once you have met your sponsor, they will most likely take you directly to your lodging, but please check-in to 1RC first. The first night’s lodging is paid for by 1RC, but only if personnel check-in. The 1RC will also be able to advise you where you need to go for in processing. For civilians only, if you need to go to Yongsan on your own, go through any of the exit doors. You can either take a taxi (expensive) or the Dragon Hill Lodge shuttle (free) to Yongsan Garrison. If you wish to take the bus, look for signs to the USO desk, located at Gate 14. If the USO desk is open, they can tell you when the bus to Yongsan is departing. Since you will be in permanent change of station status, you and your family members will have priority above anyone else wishing to ride the bus, aside from any others in PCS status. Taxis are located outside the terminal. Army and Air Force Exchange Service taxis have English-speaking drivers. They are the only taxis authorized to come on-post, so it is better to take one of these. The AAFES taxis, which are black with gold letters, park to the far right as you exit the airport. The AAFES taxi stand is near Gate 14. For information, call 02-7913-5550. All AAFES taxis have meters, that read in Korean currency, but drivers accept U.S. dollars. If you take a Korean taxi, be sure to have Korean currency. Try to select a cab which has clearly visible identification about both the driver and vehicle. A taxi ride to post will cost about $50-$60. Passengers travelling on foreign airlines at the Incheon International Airport should use the newly-opened terminal building. Until now, both domestic and foreign airlines have used the existing terminal. With the opening of the new terminal building, the moving line for arrival and departure procedures will be significantly changed. Arriving at the existing terminal, passengers of foreign airlines should go through check-in and departure procedure, and get on STARLINE (shuttle railway) at the underground of terminal to move to the new terminal building. It takes about 10 minutes to get to the terminal building including walking. During arrival, take STARLINE at the terminal building, move to the existing terminal and go through the arrival procedure. Check-in counters on third floor of the existing terminal will be rearranged. In the past, check-in counters of Korean Air and Asiana Airlines were located on the east side and foreign airlines were on the west side. However, Asiana Airlines will move to the west and foreign airlines will move to the center. Unlike the existing terminal, the newly-built terminal building is equipped with facilities only for departure and arrival procedures. It has two stories below and five above the ground. Among 30 gates of the terminal building, three are available for the world’s largest passenger plane-A380. All Military Arrivals All Army personnel must report to the 1RC, Bldg. 4034 next to the Dragon Hill Lodge. You will have a short briefing, and then check into lodging. Locations for inprocessing vary depending on service. Contact your military liaison or sponsor. nU.S. Army - Army personnel begin inprocessing at 1st Replacement Company. Call 723-6452. nU.S. Air Force - Air Force members inprocess with the Air Force Element. Call 723-8389. nU.S. Navy - Naval personnel begin in Yongsan with the Personnel Support Detachment on Main Post.
