Anyone Uptodate on the S Korean Pullout

[Bill Farnie]

Willie,
It's not the 3rd Brigade that is going to Iraq.It's units of the 2nd Brigade.
This link is to the 2nd ID web site and it has some info but because of OPSEC no specific units are named. God bless your son and may he keep him and all of our troops out of harms way.

I didn't know if you had this website.

I was stationed with the 2ndID in Korea from Oct 1975 to Nov 1976, I was B-1/23 Inf. In Aug of 1976 two American Officers were hacked to death by North Korean guards over of tree that was going to be trimmed. We went on alert drew our basic load for going to the field and waited for our orders to move out (at least that's is what though was going to happen) instead President Carter decieded to blow the tree down. That was the end of that alert.

Also I wanted to add that the 2nd ID will be moving from its current bases and move furthere south to Oui Jon Bo and camps below there. The ROK Army will take over the guard of the DMZ.

What Humper said, We don't need "trip wire " troops any more.

The Currahee's of the 1/506 are part of this deployment and they are in Ar Ramadi, Iraq.
Although they are an Air Assault battalion, in Iraq they are using humvees and will be operating in Iraq as a Motorized Infantry unit.
