First ROK Army Female Become Assistant Commander of the 2nd Infantry Division
Congratulations to Brig. Gen. Moon on her leadership appointment in the 2nd Infantry Division:
A South Korean brigadier general has become the first South Korean woman to serve as a deputy commander of the 2nd Infantry Division, the only U.S. Army division that integrates troops from another country into its ranks. Brig. Gen. Moon Han-ok assumed the post — one of three deputy commanders and the only South Korean — during a Feb. 4 ceremony at Camp Humphreys as the allies prepare for the eventual transfer of wartime operational control to Seoul.
“I believe this case will have positive influence on service women in the combat branch and bring hopeful messages to them,” Moon said in a statement provided to Stars and Stripes on Tuesday by a South Korean spokesman for the division. Before Moon, the last woman to serve as a 2nd ID deputy commander was Brig. Gen. Lori Robinson, who held that role until February 2023, when she was named commandant of cadets for the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, N.Y.
