WELCOME TO KOREA

Welcome to Korea:

TOUR NORMALIZATION:USAG-Yongsan Commander Col. Dave Hall reads stories to children June 13 to celebrate the Army birthday at theYongsan Child Development Center. The number of command sponsored family members in Korea is expected to grow over the coming years. InDecember 2009 the Department of Defense increased accompanied tour lengths from two- to three-years for Servicemembers assigned to Pyeontaek,Osan, Daegu, Chinhae and Seoul. This new stationing policy maintains one-year unaccompanied tours for all locations, and authorizes two-yearaccompanied tours at Uijongbu and Dongducheon. Existing infrastructure will allow an increase to 4,350 command sponsored positions. A phasedprogram will synchronize further increases in family authorizations with the expansion of necessary infrastructure. This phased approach ensuresthat the appropriate level of necessary services, such as education and medical care, are in place as the number of family members increases.

United States Army Garrison -YongsWelcome to the U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan.

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

The garrison won $750,000 for its third placeArmy Communities of Excellence victory in 2008and nished as a nalist in the 2009 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. Dave Hall. “TheRepublic of Korea is a great place to live, workor visit. Whether this is your rst tour to Koreaor a return assignment, you can look forwardto a personally and professionally rewardingexperience in the Land of the Morning Calm.”

The garrison comprises just over 630 acreslocated within Yongsan District of Seoul, Korea’scapital. 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,a bowling alley, a skateboard park, a miniaturegolf complex, a hospital, three dental clinics, threeDepartment 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 DragonHill Lodge. The hotel is operated as an Armed

Forces 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 are physicallydivided by a four-lane boulevard that linkstwo Seoul neighborhoods. In 2003, garrisonofficials constructed a two-lane overpassbridge over the boulevard to solve trafficcongestion problems.

Collier Field House is the community’sprimary 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 SouthPost 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 world famousYongsan 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 Arts andCrafts Center as the best. There are all kinds ofclasses and activities from a digital photographystudio to a woodworking shop.

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

Bowling centers on K-16 Air Base andYongsan Garrison offer contests and promotions,league bowling and special events.

The Yongsan chapel community offers awide variety of workshop options at the SouthPost Chapel and Memorial Chapel at Yongsan

Garrison, and at the K-16 Air Base Chapellocated in the Community Activities Center.The Family and Morale, Welfare and

Recreation 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 People’s 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 Korea’s 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 Korea’s 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 NaktongGround forces most readily available to

MacArthur 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 Nation’s 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 EUSA’s perilouslylong, thin defensive line. At the same time thearrival of the U.S. Army’s 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. MacArthur’s decisionto land at Incheon was a dangerous butremarkably bold and successful gamble.Tidal conditions allowed only a small windowof opportunity for the landing. Moreover, hewould be committing his last major reservesat a time when no more general reserve units

were available in the United States.Following the successful, lightly opposedlandings at Incheon on Sept. 15, arduous street-to-street combat took place to liberate Seoul.On Sept. 29, the capital city was returned toPresident Rhee. Although many communistguerillas would remain behind, the NKPAvirtually disintegrated and ceased to be aneffective ghting force.

North to the YaluTruman authorized MacArthur to send his

forces north of the 38th parallel on Sept. 27,provided there was no indication that majorSoviet or Chinese Communist Forces wouldenter the war. The U.N. General Assemblyapproved the UNC’s entry into North Korea 10days later, when it called for the restoration ofpeace and security throughout Korea. Americanand ROK Army forces rapidly advancednorthward.

Warnings of Chinese intervention increasedas the UNC pressed deeper into North Korea.

At a Wake Island meeting on Oct. 15, Trumandirected MacArthur to continue his advance if hebelieved UNC forces had a reasonable chanceof success. Hoping to end operations before theonset of winter, MacArthur ordered all groundforces to advance to the northern border asrapidly as possible.

The New WarBeginning on Oct. 25, UNC forces met stout

resistance almost everywhere across their front.On November 1, the 1st Cavalry Division’s 8thCavalry Regiment fought erce battles with theCCF. Severe ghting continued Nov. 5–6, after which the CCF abruptly halted its activities inall sectors, leaving the UNC uncertain as to

whether the CCF’s actions had been merelydefensive.Tenth Corps, reinforced by the U.S. 3d

Infantry Division, and EUSA slowly renewedtheir offensive. Thinning logistical lines ofsupport, inadequate intelligence and sub-zerocold added to the dif culties of the UNC. Withthe 7th Division leading, X Corps reached theYalu at the town of Hyesanjin. Eighth Army units

began moving forward from the Chongchonon Nov. 24, and were hit hard by strong CCFattacks. On Nov. 27, the attacks engulfedthe leftmost forces of the X Corps at theChangjin (Chosin) Reservoir, and by Nov. 28th,UNC positions began to crumble. MacArthurinformed Washington that the UNC faced anentirely new war. With more than 300,000Chinese in North Korea, he directed Walker towithdraw to escape envelopment by the CCF.MacArthur ordered X Corps to fall back to abeachhead around the port of Hungnam.

Unrelenting CCF pressure, which oftenincluded surprise nighttime assaults andhand-to-hand combat and the rigors of a harshwinter, made the UNC’s retreat dangerous and

costly. The 2d Division, covering the withdrawalof I Corps and the ROK II Corps from theChongchon, encountered an entrenched CCFforce below the town of Kunu-ri. The CCFsurrounded and severely punished the 2dDivision as the unit fought its way through thegauntlet to escape.

Changjin (Chosin) ReservoirAbandoning Pyongyang on Dec. 5, elements

of 8th U.S. Army reached the 38th parallel 10days later, where it prepared to protect Seoul anddevelop a coast-to-coast defense. Tenth Corpsfought a 13-day running battle to the east coastas it withdrew to Hungnam. Near the ChangjinReservoir, the 1st Marine Division and elements

of the U.S. 7th Division met stiff opposition fromthe CCF in positions overlooking the mountainroad to the sea. The 3d Division, positionednear Hungnam with X Corps, was sent inlandto open the road andprotect the withdrawalof the Army and MarineCorps units. On Dec. 11, XCorps completed its moveto Hungnam, and Americanand ROK Army forces begantheir evacuation to Pusanthe same day. Tenth Corps,which became part of 8thU.S. Army , completed theevacuation Christmas Eve.

A Change in LeadershipCCF attacks and successive

withdrawals had weakened EUSA,

and General Walker’s accidental death on Dec.23, was another dispiriting blow. LieutenantGeneral Matthew B. Ridgway, who arrived fromWashington, D.C., on Dec. 26, took commandof EUSA. Despite Ridgway’s hurried efforts tobrace the defensive line across the peninsula,he and his men could not contain the CCF’sNew Year’s offensive. Seoul fell in early January1951. Ridgway pulled EUSA’s entire front belowthe 38th parallel. When the CCF offensivefaltered in mid-January, Ridgway was ready toresume the offensive and adopted a strategyto in ict maximum casualties on the enemywith minimum losses to his troops. Ridgwayproposed a war of maneuver, slashing theenemy as it withdrew and ghting delaying

actions when the enemy attacked. Land gainsbecame 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 byridge, phase line by phase line, wiping outeach pocket of resistance before moving farthernorth. Operations THUNDERBOLT, KILLER,RIPPER and RUGGED carried the U.N. forcesforward. EUSA liberated Seoul in mid-Marchand neared the 38th parallel. For the nextmonth, EUSA cautiously probed north of theparallel, expanding the front rst to phase LineKANSAS, 10 miles above the 38th, and thento the Iron Triangle, an enemy logistical areanorth of Line KANSAS.

Ridgway’s ground strategy proved apt for thenew, more limited objectives that American andU.N. of cials adopted of clearing the CCF/NKPAfrom South Korea and opening negotiationswith the enemy. Because of differences

regarding war strategy and goals, Trumanrelieved MacArthur as United Nations Forcescommander on April 11, and replaced himwith Ridgway. On April 14, Lieutenant GeneralJames A. Van Fleet succeeded Ridgway ashead of EUSA.

Eight days after Van Fleet assumedcommand, the enemy began its spring offensive.The major CCF and NKPA attack was directedat Seoul. The I Corps contained the enemy’sadvance. EUSA halted the attack on May 20,after the enemy had penetrated 30 miles.Seeking to preclude another enemy attack, VanFleet ordered EUSA forward. By the end of May,EUSA had progressed to a position just shortof Line KANSAS, having virtually cleared theROK of enemy troops. Van Fleet moved nextto reach Line WYOMING, which would giveEUSA control of the lower portion of the IronTriangle. When the Soviet Union’s delegateto the United Nations proposed a cease- rein Korea on June 23, 8th U.S. Army occupiedLine KANSAS and the Wyoming Bulge, groundsuitable for a strong defense.

The Static WarAs the ghting lapsed into patrolling and

small local clashes, armistice negotiationsbegan on July 10, 1951. The opposing

delegations agreed that hostilities wouldcontinue until an armistice was signed. Exceptfor brief episodes, action along the front for thenext two years never regained the momentumof the rst year. On Nov. 17, the two delegationsagreed that a line of demarcation during thearmistice would be the existing line of contactprovided an agreement was reached in 30days. On Nov. 12, Ridgway ordered Van Fleetto cease offensive operations. Fighting taperedoff to patrol clashes, raids and small battles forpossession of outposts in no-man’s land.

The battle eld stalemate was periodicallyinterrupted by artillery duels, ambushes, raidsand costly small-scale hill battles such as OldBaldy. The battle eld lull enabled the Army to

return the 1st Cavalry and 24th Infantry Divisionsto Japan and to replace them with the 40th and45th Infantry Divisions, two of the eight ArmyNational Guard divisions that were mobilizedduring the war. A new United Nations Forcescommander, General Mark W. Clark, replacedRidgway in May 1952, and Lieutenant GeneralMaxwell D. Taylor replaced Van Fleet as 8thU.S. Army commander in February 1953.

As armistice negotiations entered theirnal and decisive phase in May, the enemy

stepped up combat action. CCF forces launchedregimental attacks against EUSA outposts inthe west. In July, the enemy sought to wrestmore ground from the UNC by driving awedge eight miles deep into 8th Army’s centralsector. Taylor quickly contained the enemyand counterattacked, but with an armisticeagreement imminent, 8th U.S. Army haltedits attack on July 20 short of the original line.Finally, on July 27, 1953, the Armistice wassigned and all ghting stopped.

After 37 months of combat, total UNCcasualties reached more than 550,000,including 95,000 dead. American lossesincluded 33,686 killed and 103,284 wounded.United States Army casualties alone totaled27,728 dead and 77,596 wounded. The bulk ofthese casualties occurred during the rst year

of ghting. The estimate of enemy casualties,including prisoners, exceeded 1,500,000 ofwhom 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 the5th, 29th and 187th RCTs.

THE KOREAN WAR



PAGE 26 • WELCOME EDITIONhttp://imcom.korea.army.mil KATUSA

In Korea, most military-aged males mustserve in the armed forces for a period of atleast two years. Some of these young menperform their obligation to their country bybecoming integrated into the 8th U.S. Armythrough a unique program known as KoreanAugmentation to the U.S. Army.

KATUSA Soldiers are Republic of KoreaArmy soldiers who serve under the U.S. chainof command, but are commanded by the ROKArmy in personnel management.

The KATUSA program began in July 1950,through an informal agreement between theROK president and Gen. Douglas MacArthur toaugment U.S. forces during the early stages ofthe Korean War. Until 1982, KATUSA Soldierswere selected from either the Army Basic

Military Training Center or cadres of ROKArmy units.Currently, KATUSA Soldiers are chosen

randomly among a pool comprised of thosewho have demonstrated English pro ciency asmeasured by a standardized test.

The KATUSA program is important becauseKATUSA Soldiers comprise approximately 10

KATUSApercent of the total 8th U.S. Army manpower inKorea, with more than 3,500 KATUSA Soldiersserving side-by-side with their U.S. counterparts.The program also serves as a combat multiplierand increases combat readiness for theU.S. and ROK combined defense capabilitythroughout the Korean peninsula. In addition,the program is symbolic of the U.S and ROKalliance and mutual support systems.

Because of their limited service time,KATUSA Soldiers have a promotion system thatdiffers from U.S. Soldiers. While their Americancounterparts gain promotion by amassing pointsand attending boards, KATUSA Soldiers servein a rank for a speci ed period of time andare then automatically promoted to the nexthighest rank.

ROKA staff of ce has ve major missions.These include KATUSA management, KATUSAdiscipline, ROKA-directed training, U.S. andROK friendship activities and U.S. and ROKliaison work.

Serving as a KATUSA Soldier is a traditionthat strengthens the Republic of Korea and theROK-U.S. military Alliance.

In general terms, the Republicof Korea military rank andgrade structure corresponds,with that of the U.S military, asdoes the correlation betweenrank and responsibility.




PANMUNJOM — The Korean Warbegan on a Sunday morning in 1950, whenCommunist North Korean struck South Koreain a pre-dawn infantry and artillery assault. Overthe next three years it is estimated that aboutone million South Koreans were killed or wentmissing in the con ict. An additional 33,686 U.S.Servicemembers perished in battle at placeswith names like “Heartbreak Ridge” and “PorkChop Hill.”

Almost exactly three years after the con ictbegan, a cease- re was declared on July 27,1953 and since that time North and South Koreahave been separated by one of the world’smost intensely guarded borders. The KoreanDMZ cuts across the peninsula near the 38thparallel, along the line of ghting positions heldby each side when the cease- re was called.That cease- re remains in effect today.

A journey to the DMZ helps to illustrate theimportance of the U.S. military presence inKorea, and the vital partnership of the US-ROKAlliance.

Interesting sites to visit include DorasanStation, a railroad that runs between the twoKoreas; the “Third Infiltration Tunnel”, oneof four known tunnels constructed by NorthKorea; The Military Armistice CommissionBuilding, and the Bridge of No Return, a historicremnant of the Cold War era, which crosses

the DMZ in the Joint Security Area. The bridgeis especially noteworthy as it was used forprisoner exchanges at the end of the KoreanWar. The name originates from the fact thatprisoners were given the choice to remain inthe country of their captivity or cross over tothe other country. But if they chose to cross thebridge, they would never be allowed to return.

Today, a trip to the Korean DemilitarizedZone can be a surreal experience.

Often described as the most heavilydefended border in the world, this remains oneof the only places on earth where large armiesstill stand toe-to-toe in formidable opposition.

Inside the DMZ, Panmunjom is a heavilyforti ed encampment, patrolled at all times byROK soldiers in stoic silence. Rigid protocoldictates that visitors are not to wave, shout orgesticulate in any way toward North Koreanguards positioned just yards away. For themost part, it’s exactly what one would expectfrom such a place. But the DMZ reveals a fewsurprises. It may be the last place one wouldexpect to nd a popular tourist attraction with agift shop and a one-hole golf course.

Servicemembers, Civilians and FamilyMembers are encouraged to visit the DMZwhile stationed in Korea. For information on theUSO’s tour schedule or reservations, call DSN795-3063/3028 or DSN 724-7781.

Airport Shuttle Bus

When you arrive in Korea at IncheonInternational Airport, one thing is almost certain- you will be tired and wish you were anywhereelse rather than dealing with paperwork.

Do not, under any circumstances, try tobring weapons or contraband into Korea.While the customs inspectors are pleasantand helpful, they are also very thorough.Contraband, such as drugs and deer antlers,will get you in trouble not only with the Koreansbut also the U.S. Military Police.

All incoming personnel must rst processthrough the 1st Replacement Company deskat the airport.

Inbound Army personnel must use the 1RCbus to Yongsan Garrison. Soldiers have to usethis form of transportation, unless a sponsor hasobtained prior clearance from 1RC.

This policy applies to staff sergeants andbelow. Senior noncommissioned of cers andof cers can be picked up by a sponsor if theyget prior clearance. For information, call 723-6452, or commercial 0505-723-6452.

At Incheon International Airport, newcomersare met by U.S. Forces Korea receptionpersonnel at the baggage claim area.

If you do not see the reception personnelin the terminal, go through the entire customsand immigration and baggage claim processwith your leave form, orders and identi cationcard ready. For civilians only, make sure yourpassport is stamped.

You should look for the U.S. Military LiaisonOf ce located near Gate 14.

There are several exits out of the baggageclaim area. If you are unsure which exit is

correct, go ahead and depart any exit. Youshould read the monitors located above the exitdoors. Your ight number will be posted withan exit door letter. If you have exited the wrongway, don’t worry, you will be able to easily walkto the correct exit.

Once you have met your sponsor, they willmost likely take you directly to your lodging, butplease check-in to 1RC rst. The rst night’slodging is paid for by 1RC, but only if personnelcheck-in. The 1RC will also be able to adviseyou where you need to go for inprocessing.

For civilians only, if you need to go toYongsan on your own, go through any of the exitdoors. You can either take a taxi (expensive) orthe Dragon Hill Lodge shuttle (free) to YongsanGarrison. If you wish to take the bus, look forsigns to the USO desk, located at Gate 14.

If the USO desk is open, they can tell youwhen the bus to Yongsan is departing. Since youwill be in permanent change of station status,you and your family members will have priorityabove anyone else wishing to ride the bus, asidefrom any others in PCS status.

Taxis are located outside the terminal. Armyand Air Force Exchange Service taxis haveEnglish-speaking drivers. They are the onlytaxis authorized to come on-post, so it is betterto take one of these.

The AAFES taxis, which are black withgold letters, park to the far right as you exit theairport. The AAFES taxi stand is near Gate 14.For information, call 02-7913-5550. All AAFEStaxis 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 whichhas clearly visible identi cation about both thedriver and vehicle. A taxi ride to post will costabout $50-$60.

Passengers travelling on foreign airlinesat the Incheon International Airport should usethe newly-opened terminal building. Until now,both domestic and foreign airlines have usedthe existing terminal.

With the opening of the new terminalbuilding, the moving line for arrival anddeparture procedures will be significantlychanged. Arriving at the existing terminal,passengers of foreign airlines should gothrough check-in and departure procedure,

and get on STARLINE (shuttle railway) at theunderground of terminal to move to the newterminal building. It takes about 10 minutes toget to the terminal building including walking.During arrival, take STARLINE at the terminalbuilding, move to the existing terminal and gothrough the arrival procedure.

Check-in counters on third floor of theexisting terminal will be rearranged. In the past,check-in counters of Korean Air and AsianaAirlines were located on the east side andforeign airlines were on the west side. However,Asiana Airlines will move to the west and foreignairlines will move to the center.

Unlike the existing terminal, the newly-builtterminal building is equipped with facilities onlyfor departure and arrival procedures. It hastwo stories below and ve above the ground.Among 30 gates of the terminal building, threeare available for the world’s largest passengerplane-A380.
