The latest rotational unit to come to Korea has a history that stretches back to the Korean War:

The 3rd Infantry Division is back on the Korean Peninsula for the first time since the Korean War.
The 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team out of Fort Stewart, Ga., began a nine-month rotation Friday by unfurling its unit colors at Eighth Army’s new headquarters south of Seoul.
The “Raider Brigade” replaces soldiers from the 2nd Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division out of Fort Hood, Texas.
“This is the first time soldiers wearing the 3ID patch have served [on the peninsula] since fighting in the Korean War,” Raider Brigade commander Col. Mike Adams said at the ceremony. [Stars & Stripes]
Hmm.. so will this be 3rdID under 2ndID? I wonder if any patch drama will ensue, I remember 18thAB initially refusing to wear the MNCI-I patch when they arrived in Iraq. 😐

Waste of time and money; not to mention all of Camp Humphreys was designed for a permanently assigned force, not a rotational force. Whole thing is just silly.

Our rocky troll is too much of a wuss to attack any 3ID units.
3ID’s 7th Infantry was pretty much up there with the Marines od the Frozen Chosin… https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/7th_Infantry_Regiment_(United_States)#Korean_War
