Treat our Korean friends asyou would want to be treated.

Korea is an ancient nation with a rich 5,000-year history. The people of the Republic ofKorea have developed this nation into a vibranteconomy that competes in the international

arena with the 11th largest Gross DomesticProduct in the world, and the largest shipbuilding facility found anywhere.

You can count on your local MWR,services units and USO to help you look forward to a personally andprofessionally rewarding experience in the Land of the Morning Calm.Please take advantage of the many trips and tours to better understandthe wonderful culture of our Korean Ally.

From your rst day in Korea, youll become a part of a new vision of making life better for Soldiers, DoD Civilians and Family Members.

United States Forces Korea is in the midst of a transformation thatis turning Quonset huts into memories and is committed to providingmodern facilities on consolidated bases in just a few short years. Serviceprograms here are also improving to match the new facilities. Theconstruction of new Army Family Housing, a robust facility renovationprogram and rapidly expanding family support services have allcontributed signi cantly to Korea becoming a sought after Assignmentof Choice and I can assure you that the best is yet to come.

Recently, we gathered community members and senior leaders

together to sign the Army Family Covenant.That promise is our guarantee to provide a

quality of life commensurate with the serviceof our great Soldiers and Family Members.I remain fully committed to this covenantand assure you that IMCOM will continue tosupport and expand programs and facilities tosupport our Soldiers, Families and our Civilianworkforce. We are playing a large role in theArmys effort to make Korea one of the bestpossible assignments, where families arewelcome.

Our Families are in many ways the truesel ess servants to our Army and our nation.With that in mind I pledge to continue improvingyour quality of life here; wholly embracingthe Army Family Covenant and the valuableprograms available to Soldiers and Familiesat every garrison in Korea. IMCOM-Korea isthere for you and your Family so you can focus

on your mission.The realignment of United States ForcesKorea and the transformation at USAG-

Humphreys is one of the largest transformational efforts in the historyof our Army. This expansion is a key part of the Yongsan Relocationand Land Partnership Plan. All of our garrisons have accomplished atremendous amount of major construction projects, force protectioninitiatives and, most importantly, they have greatly increased the readinessand improved the quality of life for our Soldiers and Families.

nd it to be the tour of a lifetime.

Brig. General David Fox Commanding GeneralInstallation Management CommandKorea Region

TOUR NORMALIZATION:USAG Yongsan children sail the high seas during the 2010 Vacation Bible School at South Post Chapel. The number of command sponsored family members in Korea is expected to grow over the coming years. In December 2009 the Department of Defenseincreased 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 Uijeongbuand Dongducheon. Existing infrastructure will allow an increase to 4,350 command sponsored positions. A phased program will synchronizefurther increases in family authorizations with the expansion of necessary infrastructure. This phased approach ensures that the appropriate levelof necessary services, such as education and medical care, are in place as the number of family members increases.

United States Army Garrison YongsaWelcome to the U.S. Army Garrison Yongsan.

We are one of the top seven Army installationsin the world today.

competition.USAG Yongsan supports Soldiers, Civiliansand Family Members with outstanding installationfacilities, spacious housing, a 5-star hotel andfantastic restaurants, new rst-rate recreationalcenters and spectacular access to Korean foodand culture.

USAG Yongsan serves the largest populationof Americans (17,000) in Korea with excellence ininstallation management and customer supportwhile continuously improving quality of life in theU.S. Army Garrison Yongsan community.

If you are a newcomer to Korea, Welcome,said Garrison Commander Col. William Huber.The Republic of Korea is a great place to live,work or visit. Whether this is your rst tour toKorea or a return assignment, you can lookforward to a personally and professionallyrewarding experience in the Land of the MorningCalm.

The garrison comprises just over 630 acreslocated within Yongsan District of Seoul, Koreascapital. Garrison facilities include multiple familyhousing areas, a large commissary and postexchange, numerous Army Family and Morale,Welfare and Recreation facilities, restaurants,indoor and outdoor sports complexes, a library, abowling alley, a skateboard park, a miniature golfcomplex, a hospital, three dental clinics, three

Department of Defense Dependent Schools,a United Service Organization (USO), a childdevelopment center, indoor and outdoorswimming pools, an automotive care center,and a self-service gas station.

The garrison is also home to the Dragon

Hill Lodge. The hotel is operated as an ArmedForces Recreation Center by the U.S. Armyin support of the mission. The Dragon HillLodge is one of four Armed Forces RecreationCenters around the world.

The garrison consists of two main areas,Main Post and South Post, which arephysically divided by a four-lane boulevardthat links two Seoul neighborhoods. In 2003,garrison officials constructed a two-laneoverpass bridge over the boulevard to solvetraf c congestion problems.

Collier Field House is the communitysprimary tness center. The facility is namedin honor of Corporal John Collier, who wasposthumously awarded the Medal of Honorfor his service during the Korean War. Thissports complex is located on Yongsan South

Post and features basketball, racquetball,volleyball, baseball, softball, aerobic, andweight training facilities, and also offersauthorized patrons a variety of instructor-lead

tness training programs. The Collier FieldHouse is also used for community events andtown hall meetings.

East of the garrison is the commercialshopping district of Itaewon. With itswesternized shopping and nightlife, it is apopular place to visit. To the west of Yongsan

is the Samgakji subway station and worldfamous Yongsan Electronics Market.

The USAG Yongsan community is a vibrantAmerican neighborhood located in the centerof the fth largest city on the planet.

Yongsan community members are used to a

high quality of life, frequent celebrations, picnics,events and a wide variety of activities.For example, the Yongsan Arts and Crafts

Center is one of the top such facilities in theArmy. In 2007, the Army recognized the Artsand Crafts Center as the best. There are allkinds of classes and activities from a digitalphotography studio to a woodworking shop.

The Yongsan theater program is anothermajor plus for community members. Local actorsare always working on the next production tobe performed at the Moyer Theatre.

Bowling centers on K-16 Air Baseand Yongsan Garrison offer contests andpromotions, league bowling and specialevents.

The Yongsan chapel community offers awide variety of workshop options at the South

Post Chapel and Memorial Chapel at YongsanGarrison, and at the K-16 Air Base Chapellocated in the Community Activities Center.

The Family and Morale, Welfare andRecreation staff, as well as the Camp KimUSO constantly offer tour options around Koreaand Asia. Because of the nearby IncheonInternational Airport, Yongsan is a gateway tothe rest of Asia.

Truly, a tour of duty at USAG Yongsan is awell-rounded life experience.

PAGE 24 WELCOME EDITIONhttp://imcom.korea.army.mil THE KOREAN WAR

Outbreak of the WarThe Korean War began with a surprise

attack June 25, 1950, when eight divisionsand an armored brigade (90,000 soldiers) ofthe North Korean Peoples Army attacked inthree columns across the 38th parallel andinvaded the Republic of Korea. Many of theNKPA were battle-tested, having served inthe Chinese and Soviet armies in World WarII. The 98,000-strong ROK Army, its combattraining incomplete, and having no tanks andonly 89 howitzers, was no match for the better-equipped NKPA. Aided only by a 500-man U.S.Korean Military Advisory Group, the ROKA was

overwhelmed. Spearheaded by tanks, NKPAforces moved rapidly through the UijongbuGap on the west side of the Korean peninsulaand captured Seoul, South Koreas capital.The ROKA ed south in disarray across theHan River toward Pusan, a major port at thesoutheastern tip of the Korean peninsula.

On June 25, the U.N. Security Councildenounced North Koreas actions and calledfor a cessation of hostilities and withdrawalof the NKPA to the 38th parallel. PresidentHarry S. Truman directed General of the ArmyDouglas MacArthur, whose Far East Commandwas located in Tokyo, to evacuate Americandependents from Korea and send ammunitionto the beleaguered ROKA. The following day,

Truman sanctioned the use of American airand naval forces below the 38th parallel.The next day, as the situation worsened, theUnited Nations requested its members tofurnish military assistance to repel the invasion.Truman then extended American air and navalactions to North Korea and authorized theuse of U.S. Army troops to protect Pusan.MacArthur, however, recommended committing

Korean War overview, 1950-19a U.S. Army regiment in the Seoul area. Trumanagreed, and on June 30 he told MacArthur touse all forces available to him.South to the Naktong

Ground forces most readily available toMacArthur included the 1st Cavalry Divisionand the 7th, 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions,all under 8th U.S. Army headquartered inJapan; the 29th Regimental Combat Team inOkinawa, Japan; and the 5th RCT from Hawaii.But these units were hard pressed to defendthe ROK because they were undermannedand their mobility and firepower had been

reduced by shortages of organic units andequipment. In an effort to delay the NKPAadvance, MacArthur ordered the 1st Battalion,21st Infantry Regiment of the 24th InfantryDivision moved to a defensive position astridethe main road near Osan, 10 miles belowSuwon. Named Task Force Smith after thebattalion commander, this 540-man commandlacked effective anti-tank weapons and wasill-prepared to stop the NKPA. Out anked byan NKPA division and suffering some 200casualties and the loss of all equipment, TFSmith broke into a disorganized retreat.

Meanwhile, at the United Nations request,the United States formed the United NationsCommand, which would integrate all American

and allied forces. General MacArthur becameits commander. He assigned command ofground forces in Korea to Eighth U.S. Armyunder Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker.At the request of ROK President SyngmanRhee, Walker also assumed command of theROK Army.

By the beginning of August, after the arrivalof the 29th RCT from Okinawa on July 26,

Eighth U.S. Army held only a small portion ofsoutheastern Korea. Walker ordered a standalong a 140-mile line arching from the KoreaStrait to the East Sea west and north of Busan.Known as the Pusan Perimeter, Americandivisions occupied the western segment, basingtheir position along the Naktong River; the ROKArmy defended the northern segment. WithPusan secure, additional troops and equipmentbegan arriving to reinforce EUSAs perilouslylong, thin defensive line. At the same time thearrival of the U.S. Armys 5th RCT from Hawaii,the 2d Infantry Division and the 1st ProvisionalMarine Brigade from the United States, and a

British infantry brigade, strengthened EUSA.

IncheonHaving traded space for time, MacArthur

saw that the deeper the NKPA drove south, themore vulnerable it became to an amphibiousenvelopment. The amphibious force consistedof the 1st Marine Division and the 7th InfantryDivision, its ranks eshed out with severalthousand Korean recruits. MacArthurs decisionto land at Incheon was a dangerous butremarkably bold and successful gamble.Tidal conditions allowed only a small windowof opportunity for the landing. More
