The Korean War is known by many as “The Forgotten War”, and as such, specific unit

are sent to defend South Korea” (Document C). This led to another war for the United States.

The battles on the Korean Peninsula were a constant back and forth (Document C). South Korea could not handle the power of the North Korean army and almost lost the whole peninsula. If it wasn’t for General Douglass MacArthur planning a risky counter attack that eventually paid off South Korea’s future would have been as risk. This attack pushed North Korea all the way to China which caused communist China to join in on the mix. The U.S. had no interest in taking any of North Korea's land, for themselves or South Korea. They just did not want the spread of communism any farther. Once China pushed the U.S. and U.N. forces back into South Korea the U.S. the war pretty much stood at a stand still until the war ended. These battles accumulated more than two million deaths and 50,000

Armed, supplied, and trained by the U.S.S.R., North Korean forces quickly and overwhelmingly defeated demoralized South Korean forces. Within a matter of days, Seoul, South Korea’s capital, had been captured by North Korean forces. The Korean People’s Army continued their campaign to push further south in an effort to fully conquer the Korean peninsula by the year’s end. In a last-ditch effort to resist full surrender, the remaining South Korean forces and the under-prepared U.S. 24th Division were re-concentrated in the southwestern corner of the peninsula and ordered to entrench themselves and maintain their position along what is now called the Pusan Perimeter, which was located along the Naktong River and safeguarded the last vital port of Pusan, which was the last remaining South Korean line of communication and with the outside

Best Business Practice: We recommend that HQ USARPAC adopt Army in Korea Pamphlet 37-47, Representation Funds of the Secretary of the Army, dated 4 December 2012 as the command’s start point for the drafting and issuance of a new command-wide ORF

In conclusion the United States of Americas Army’s anti aircrafts role in the Korean War was very minor. We did provide security of the Suwon Air Field witch aided the evacuation of civilians along with getting supplies to the soldiers on the frontlines. The military’s use of the 90mm anti-aircraft weapon system, we felt played a significant role in the advancements of the Air Defense Artillery technology and war fighting procedures as we use them

From the moment their invasion began, NKPA experienced success against the UN forces, led by the United States and sent in to assist the South Korean Army. However, UN troops, all of which were now under the command of General MacArthur, were literally overwhelmed at the onslaught of the well-equipped and experienced NKPA. By the end of July, UN forces had been driven into a small area in the southeast portion of the Korean Pennisula around the Port of Pusan (present day Busan). With the NKPA at their front, and the Sea of Japan at their back, UN forces were in dire straight and running out of options. Only the visionary mind of General MacArthur conceptualizing and executing Operation Chromite could avoid a military disaster and save South Korea.

The Korean War began June 25th, 1950 when North Korea sent about 75,000 troops over the 38th parallel to invade South Korea. Korea had initially been divided into zones of occupation, but “temporary” soon became permanent. The army surged through the 38th parallel, and was the first military action of the Cold War. “When South Korea was invaded the United States became their military and financial crutch” says Adam Richards of Study.gov. By July 1950 the United States was aiding South Korea in the war to halt the international spread of communism. The United States stressed the importance of containment to prevent the ramification of communism any further. General Douglas MacArthur, who had been overseeing the post-WWII occupation of Japan, commanded the US forces

On the 25th of June 1950, North Korea’s Korean People’s Army (NKPA), began its invasion of the Republic of Korea, hastening the build up of ROK support from the UN and US. The US 7th Fleet deployed from the Philippines to Korean waters, and US forces are authorized to conduct air and naval operations in support of ROK, south of the 38th Parallel. North Korea wasted no time in rapidly seizing Seoul by the 28th of June. Shortly after, the US Navy initiated its now authorized blockade of the peninsula as US ground forces were allowed to perform support roles for the ROK military, which quickly transitioned to full combatant roles. July 1st saw the deployment of Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker’s 8th Army advance forces, Task Force Smith,

Along with the SAC B-29 units, Tactical Air Command (TAC) deployed numerous fighter, fighter-bomber, tactical bomber, transport and support units to FEAF. TAC Lockheed F-80C Shooting Star and Republic F-84E Thunderjets units deployed to FEAF to rapidly gain control of the air from the Korean People's Armed Forces Air Corps (KPAFAC). For a time in August and September 1950, all FEAF flying units had to fly from bases in Japan. The only continuously usable tactical base in Korea was Taegu (K-2), which the FEAF used as a staging field to refuel and arm tactical

Our Liaison department; who is responsible for conducting intelligence operations in South Korea; as well as Japan, will head up our HUMINT operations during the course of the exercise. [3] They will also work closely with the first, second and third bureaux of the Reconnaissance Bureau; who also have been able to provide agents to infiltrate South Korean undetected through the vast and superior structure of underground tunnels our great nation has built over the years.

In 1943 Russia, Britain, and USA held a conference in Cairo where they discussed the situation Korea was in. It was decided that “Korea shall become free and independent” (NewWorldEncyclopedia, 1). One year later the Allies help another conference on Yalta, USSR. At the conference the allies were talking about the post-war plans for Europe. They decided Korea will be established in a “Four-power trusteeship” (NewWorldEncyclopedia, 1). Soviet tanks were able to

5. It is important for us, as military leaders, to learn and understand many foreign cultures. As we said in the beginning there may come a time where we will need to venture to South Korea in a deployment or contingency operation.
