USAG Yongsan children sail the high seas during a Vacation Bible School at South Post Chapel. The number of command sponsored family members in Korea is expected to grow in the coming years. Existing infrastructure will allow for more 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.

Army Family Housing Accompanied, command-sponsored personnel are housed in Army Family Housing. When you in-process 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.
Army Housing:
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

Housing units like those pictured here, under construction on Camp Humphreys, are designed to give Soldiers and families a sense of normalcy and community with every modern amenity one would expect to find in the States while living overseas.

ARMY FAMILY HOUSING: Tower, or high rise style family housing on Humphreys and other Korea installations, 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. Camp Humphreys (top) is also currently the site of the largest construction project in Department of Defense history.

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. 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 Garrisons northern edge, is named after 2nd Lt. Randall Coiner, a Korean War Silver Star recipient. After the Korean War it served as Koreas 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 Airfield, 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: CSM Spencer Gray Deputy commander: Mark Cox 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.

Yongsans 1st Replacement Company provides one-stop orientation for newcomers to Korea
YONGSAN GARRISON, REPUBLIC OF KOREA The 1st Replacement Company, the central inprocessing and orientation center for nearly everyone on orders to Korea, has a four-day program. 1RC officials reorganized the program that was once five days long. For brevitys sake, they were able to shave a day off the schedule. This was done so Soldiers could get to their units quicker. After analyzing the schedule, officials realized there was some down time that could be better used 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 . New arrivals 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. The four days of inprocessing are called Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta, respectively. They rotate and are not tied to any specific day of the week. If someone arrives Tuesday evening, then Wednesday is the Day 0 with the 1RC and Thursday is 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 Garrison Main Post. For Yongsan-based families, Army Community Service hosts an hour-long windshield tour of Yongsan Garrison. 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. g

Location: Daegu, South Korea Population: 10,000 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.

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 UNCs 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 Nov. 1, the 1st Cavalry Divisions 8th Cavalry Regiment fought fierce battles with the CCF. Severe fighting continued Nov. 56, after which the CCF abruptly halted its activities in all sectors, leaving the UNC uncertain as to whether the CCFs actions had been merely defensive. Tenth Corps, reinforced by the U.S. 3rd 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 began moving forward from the Chongchon

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 UNCs 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 Walkers accidental death on Dec. 23, was another dispiriting blow. Lieutenant Gen.Matthew B. Ridgway, who arrived from Washington, D.C., on Dec. 26, took command of EUSA. Despite Ridgways hurried efforts to brace the defensive line across the peninsula, he and his men could not contain the CCFs New Years offensive. Seoul fell in early January 1951. Ridgway pulled EUSAs 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. Ridgways 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. Ridgways 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 Gen. 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 enemys 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 Unions 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-mans 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, Gen. 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 Armys 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 Augmentation to the United States Army
In Korea, most military-aged males must serve in the armed forces for a period of approximately 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 General of the Army 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.

DMZ
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 worlds 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, its 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.

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 percent 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? 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 Soldiers 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
