KORCOM?
I belive this when I see it:
"I understand that Washington has changed its plans and decided to keep the Eighth U.S. Army on the Korean Peninsula, but will reorganize it as a U.S. ground forces command in Korea around 2012,” when wartime operational control is transferred to Korean forces, a military source said Sunday. That would mean the Eighth is reorganized according to Washington’s need to maintain a self-reliant military command in South Korea once the CFC disappears.
Alegedly this new command is going to be called KORCOM. I have to wonder who the Chosun’s military source is, some private who heard rumors in the chow hall? Like I said before I will have to see this to believe it.
[…] ground forces on the peninsula which is going to be hard to do sitting in Hawaii. Plus this rumor came up last year as well and it was announced that Eighth Army is staying on the Korean peninsula. It was also […]
I just heard from my CDR today that when we move from Yongsan to the Hump that our major command will be called KORCOM and no longer USFK. I am in an "Eighth Army" labled unit. No Word yet if we will still be under that name or branded under KORCOM.
