I take great pleasure in welcoming you to
the Republic of Korea. Whether this is your rst
time on the peninsula or a return assignment,
you can look forward to a rewarding tour of duty
in the “Land of the Morning Calm.”
You are joining a proud line of military
professionals who helped the Republic of Korea
become a booming world economic power
and one of our strongest Allies. You are a part
of our Good Neighbor Program and the way
you interact with our Korean friends makes a
real difference in the strength of our Alliance.
Every Servicemember, Civilian, Contractor and
Family Member stationed in Korea represents
the United States. Treat our Korean friends as
you would want to be treated.
Korea is an ancient nation with a rich 5,000-
year history. The people of the Republic of
Korea have developed this nation into a vibrant
economy that competes in the international
arena with the 11th largest Gross Domestic Product in the world, and
the largest ship building facility found anywhere.
For both newcomers and returnees to Korea, you’ll see a move
towards the best the Army has to offer. You can count on your local MWR,
services units and USO to help you look forward to a personally and
professionally rewarding experience in the “Land of the Morning Calm”.
Please take advantage of the many trips and tours to better understand
the wonderful culture of our Korean Ally.
From your rst day in Korea, you’ll become a part of a new vision of
making life better for Soldiers, DoD Civilians and Family Members.
United States Forces Korea is in the midst of a transformation that is
turning Quonset huts into memories and is committed to providing modern
facilities on consolidated bases in just a few short years. Service programs
here are also improving to match the new facilities. The construction of
new Army Family Housing, a robust facility renovation program and
rapidly expanding family support services have all contributed signicantlyto Korea becoming a sought after “Assignment of Choice” — and I can
assure you that the best is yet to come.
Recently, we gathered community members
and senior leaders together to sign the Army
Family Covenant. That promise is our guarantee
to provide a quality of life commensurate with
the service of our great Soldiers and Family
Members. I remain fully committed to this
covenant and assure you that IMCOM will
continue to support and expand programs and
facilities to support our Soldiers, Families and
our Civilian workforce.
Our Families are in many ways the true
seless servants to our Army and our nation.
With that in mind I pledge to continue improving
your quality of life here; wholly embracing
the Army Family Covenant and the valuable
programs available to Soldiers and Families
at every garrison in Korea. IMCOM-Korea is
there for you and your Family so you can focus
on your mission.
The realignment of USFK and the transformation at USAG-Humphreys
is one of the largest transformational efforts in the history of our Army.
This expansion is a key part of the Yongsan Relocation and Land
Partnership Plan. All of our garrisons have accomplished a tremendous
amount of major construction projects, force protection initiatives and,
most importantly, they have greatly increased the readiness and improved
the quality of life for our Soldiers and Families.
As exemplied by the photos on this page and the next, we are
entering a new era — one that has open the door to expanded command
sponsorship opportunities and is geared towards normalizing tours for
our Soldiers, Civilians and Families. Welcome to the “New Korea.”

WELCOME TO KOREA
Welcome to Korea:
TOUR NORMALIZATION: USAG-Yongsan Commander Col. Dave Hall reads stories to children June 13 to celebrate the Army birthday at theYongsan Child Development Center. The number of command sponsored family members in Korea is expected to grow over the coming years. InDecember 2009 the Department of Defense increased accompanied tour lengths from two- to three-years for Servicemembers assigned to Pyeontaek,Osan, Daegu, Chinhae and Seoul. This new stationing policy maintains one-year unaccompanied tours for all locations, and authorizes two-year accompanied tours at Uijeongbu and Dongducheon. Existing infrastructure will allow an increase to 4,350 command sponsored positions. A phasedprogram will synchronize further increases in family authorizations with the expansion of necessary infrastructure. This phased approach ensuresthat the appropriate level of necessary services, such as education and medical care, are in place as the number of family members increases.

The twenty-four courses offered through a DoDEA contracted vendor will provide limited seats for DoDEA
students throughout the world in subject areas where courses are not yet developed within the DoDEA Virtual

of students who need a course to graduate. In the future, we plan to reduce the number of vendor-delivered
courses as we expand our course offerings delivered through the DoDEA Virtual School Program.
For SY 09/10 we anticipate the target aud ience attending the Virtual School will be those stu dents wishingto supplement their course offerings at a DoDDS school or to supplement their course offerings in their Non-

requirements and address course needs of eligible students; (2) develop and deliver customized, standards-

for increased synchronous interaction to support active engagement and help students be successful in theonline environment; and (3) address the educational needs of military-connected students in transition and
ensure that eligible students have access to a quality DoDEA educational experience, regardless of location
or circumstance.

except for four- and ve-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
signicantly 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 Ofce 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 ofce.
Off-Post Housing
Off-post housing is plentiful and consists of high-
rise, 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-dutymilitary, 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
given a certicate of non-availability and authorization
to seek economy quarters.
Regardless if you are military or civilian, do not
enter into a lease agreement without processing
through the Housing Referral Ofce.
Unaccompanied Personnel Housing
Unaccompanied personnel are normally assigned
to Unaccompanied Personnel Housing on post.
These facilities consist of newly renovated
barracks, bachelor enlisted quarters, senior enlisted
quarters and bachelor ofcer quarters.
Unaccompanied personnel are required to
reside in on-post government quarters if space
is available for their rank. Only when UPH is fullwill Servicemembers be given a certicate of non-
availability and be authorized to reside off post.
For additional information on UPH, please call
738-5506.
Living Quarters Allowance
LQA is a tax-free allowance paid to civilian
employees recruited from the U.S. in order to
substantially offset the cost for suitable permanent
housing while stationed in Korea. LQA covers the
cost of rent and utilities. Most civilian employees
assigned to Korea live off-post in modern, spacious
apartments. Upon arrival to Korea employees will
meet with the Garrison housing ofce and receive
assistance in nding just the right home.

the North Korean People’s Army attacked in
three columns across the 38th parallel and
invaded the Republic of Korea. Many of the
NKPA were battle-tested, having served in
the Chinese and Soviet armies in World War
II. The 98,000-strong ROK Army, its combat
training incomplete, and having no tanks and
only 89 howitzers, was no match for the better-
equipped NKPA. Aided only by a 500-man U.S.
Korean Military Advisory Group, the ROKA was
overwhelmed. Spearheaded by tanks, NKPAforces moved rapidly through the Uijongbu
Gap on the west side of the Korean peninsula
and captured Seoul, South Korea’s capital.
The ROKA ed south in disarray across the
Han River toward Pusan, a major port at the
southeastern tip of the Korean peninsula.
On June 25, the U.N. Security Council
denounced North Korea’s actions and called
for a cessation of hostilities and withdrawal
of the NKPA to the 38th parallel. President
Harry S. Truman directed General of the Army
Douglas MacArthur, whose Far East Command
was located in Tokyo, to evacuate American
dependents from Korea and send ammunition
to the beleaguered ROKA. The following day,
Truman sanctioned the use of American air and naval forces below the 38th parallel.
The next day, as the situation worsened, the
United Nations requested its members to
furnish military assistance to repel the invasion.
Truman then extended American air and naval
actions to North Korea and authorized the
use of U.S. Army troops to protect Pusan.
MacArthur, however, recommended committing
Korean War overview, 1950-1953a U.S. Army regiment in the Seoul area. Truman
agreed, and on June 30 he told MacArthur to
use all forces available to him.
South to the Naktong
Ground forces most readily available to
MacArthur included the 1st Cavalry Division
and the 7th, 24th and 25th Infantry Divisions,
all under 8th U.S. Army headquartered in
Japan; the 29th Regimental Combat Team in
Okinawa, Japan; and the 5th RCT from Hawaii.
But these units were hard pressed to defend
the ROK because they were undermanned
and their mobility and firepower had been
reduced by shortages of organic units andequipment. In an effort to delay the NKPA
advance, MacArthur ordered the 1st Battalion,
21st Infantry Regiment of the 24th Infantry
Division moved to a defensive position astride
the main road near Osan, 10 miles below
Suwon. Named Task Force Smith after the
battalion commander, this 540-man command
lacked effective anti-tank weapons and was
ill-prepared to stop the NKPA. Outanked by
an NKPA division and suffering some 200
casualties and the loss of all equipment, TF
Smith broke into a disorganized retreat.
Meanwhile, at the United Nation’s request,
the United States formed the United Nations
Command, which would integrate all American
and allied forces. General MacArthur becameits commander. He assigned command of
ground forces in Korea to Eighth U.S. Army
under Lieutenant General Walton H. Walker.
At the request of ROK President Syngman
Rhee, Walker also assumed command of the
ROK Army.
By the beginning of August, after the arrival
of the 29th RCT from Okinawa on July 26,
Eighth U.S. Army held only a small portion of
southeastern Korea. Walker ordered a stand
along a 140-mile line arching from the Korea
Strait to the East Sea west and north of Busan.
Known as the “Pusan Perimeter,” American
divisions occupied the western segment, basing
their position along the Naktong River; the ROK
Army defended the northern segment. With
Pusan secure, additional troops and equipment
began arriving to reinforce EUSA’s perilously
long, thin defensive line. At the same time the
arrival of the U.S. Army’s 5th RCT from Hawaii,
the 2d Infantry Division and the 1st Provisional
Marine Brigade from the United States, and a
British infantry brigade, strengthened EUSA.
Incheon
Having traded space for time, MacArthur
saw that the deeper the NKPA drove south, the
more vulnerable it became to an amphibious
envelopment. The amphibious force consisted
of the 1st Marine Division and the 7th Infantry
Division, its ranks eshed out with several
thousand Korean recruits. MacArthur’s decision
to land at Incheon was a dangerous but
remarkably bold and successful gamble.
Tidal conditions allowed only a small window
of opportunity for the landing. Moreover, he
would be committing his last major reserves
at a time when no more general reserve units
were available in the United States.Following the successful, lightly opposed
landings at Incheon on Sept. 15, arduous street-
to-street combat took place to liberate Seoul.
On Sept. 29, the capital city was returned to
President Rhee. Although many communist
guerillas would remain behind, the NKPA
virtually disintegrated and ceased to be an
effective ghting force.
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 UNC’s 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, Trumandirected 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 November 1, the 1st Cavalry Division’s 8th
Cavalry Regiment fought erce battles with the
CCF. Severe ghting continued Nov. 5–6, after
which the CCF abruptly halted its activities in
all sectors, leaving the UNC uncertain as to
whether the CCF’s actions had been merelydefensive.
Tenth Corps, reinforced by the U.S. 3d
Infantry Division, and EUSA slowly renewed
their offensive. Thinning logistical lines of
support, inadequate intelligence and sub-zero
cold added to the difculties 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. 24, and were hit hard by strong CCF
attacks. 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 UNC’s retreat dangerous and
costly. The 2d Division, covering the withdrawalof 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 fromthe 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 Walker’s accidental death on Dec.
23, was another dispiriting blow. Lieutenant
General Matthew B. Ridgway, who arrived from
Washington, D.C., on Dec. 26, took command
of EUSA. Despite Ridgway’s hurried efforts to
brace the defensive line across the peninsula,
he and his men could not contain the CCF’s
New Year’s offensive. Seoul fell in early January
1951. Ridgway pulled EUSA’s 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 inict maximum casualties on the enemy
with minimum losses to his troops. Ridgway
proposed a war of maneuver, slashing the
enemy as it withdrew and ghting delaying
actions when the enemy attacked. Land gainsbecame less important than damaging the CCF/
NKPA and keeping the enemy off balance.
Ridgway’s 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 rst to phase Line
KANSAS, 10 miles above the 38th, and then
to the Iron Triangle, an enemy logistical area
north of Line KANSAS.
Ridgway’s ground strategy proved apt for thenew, more limited objectives that American and
U.N. ofcials 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 General
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 enemy’s
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 Union’s delegate
to the United Nations proposed a cease-re
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 ghting lapsed into patrolling and
small local clashes, armistice negotiations
began on July 10, 1951. The opposing
delegations agreed that hostilities wouldcontinue until an armistice was signed. Except
for brief episodes, action along the front for the
next two years never regained the momentum
of the rst 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-man’s land.
The battleeld stalemate was periodically
interrupted by artillery duels, ambushes, raids
and costly small-scale hill battles such as Old
Baldy. The battleeld 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, General 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
nal 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 Army’s 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 ghting 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 rst year
of ghting. 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.

In Korea, most military-aged males mustserve in the armed forces for a period of atleast two years. Some of these young menperform their obligation to their country bybecoming integrated into the 8th U.S. Armythrough a unique program known as KoreanAugmentation to the U.S. Army.
KATUSA Soldiers are Republic of KoreaArmy soldiers who serve under the U.S. chainof command, but are commanded by the ROKArmy in personnel management.
The KATUSA program began in July 1950,through an informal agreement between theROK president and Gen. Douglas MacArthur toaugment U.S. forces during the early stages of the Korean War. Until 1982, KATUSA Soldierswere selected from either the Army Basic
Military Training Center or cadres of ROKArmy units.Currently, KATUSA Soldiers are chosen
randomly among a pool comprised of thosewho have demonstrated English prociency as
measured by a standardized test.The KATUSA program is important because
KATUSA Soldiers comprise approximately 10
KATUSApercent of the total 8th U.S. Army manpower inKorea, with more than 3,500 KATUSA Soldiersserving side-by-side with their U.S. counterparts.The program also serves as a combat multiplier and increases combat readiness for theU.S. and ROK combined defense capabilitythroughout the Korean peninsula. In addition,the program is symbolic of the U.S and ROKalliance and mutual support systems.
Because of their limited service time,KATUSA Soldiers have a promotion system thatdiffers from U.S. Soldiers. While their Americancounterparts gain promotion by amassing pointsand attending boards, KATUSA Soldiers servein a rank for a specied period of time and
are then automatically promoted to the nexthighest rank.
ROKA staff ofce has ve major missions.These include KATUSA management, KATUSAdiscipline, ROKA-directed training, U.S. andROK friendship activities and U.S. and ROKliaison work.
Serving as a KATUSA Soldier is a traditionthat strengthens the Republic of Korea and theROK-U.S. military Alliance.

PANMUNJOM — The Korean War began on a Sunday morning in 1950, whenCommunist North Korean struck South Koreain a pre-dawn infantry and artillery assault. Over the next three years it is estimated that aboutone million South Koreans were killed or wentmissing in the conict. An additional 33,686 U.S.Servicemembers perished in battle at placeswith names like “Heartbreak Ridge” and “PorkChop Hill.”
Almost exactly three years after the conict
began, a cease-re was declared on July 27,
1953 and since that time North and South Koreahave been separated by one of the world’smost intensely guarded borders. The KoreanDMZ cuts across the peninsula near the 38thparallel, along the line of ghting positions held
by each side when the cease-re was called.
That cease-re remains in effect today.
A journey to the DMZ helps to illustrate theimportance of the U.S. military presence inKorea, and the vital partnership of the US-ROKAlliance.
Interesting sites to visit include Dorasan
Station, a railroad that runs between the twoKoreas; the “Third Infiltration Tunnel”, oneof four known tunnels constructed by NorthKorea; The Military Armistice CommissionBuilding, and the Bridge of No Return, a historicremnant of the Cold War era, which crosses
the DMZ in the Joint Security Area. The bridgeis especially noteworthy as it was used for prisoner exchanges at the end of the KoreanWar. The name originates from the fact thatprisoners were given the choice to remain inthe country of their captivity or cross over to
the other country. But if they chose to cross thebridge, they would never be allowed to return.
Today, a trip to the Korean DemilitarizedZone can be a surreal experience.
Often described as the most heavilydefended border in the world, this remains oneof the only places on earth where large armiesstill stand toe-to-toe in formidable opposition.
Inside the DMZ, Panmunjom is a heavilyfortied encampment, patrolled at all times by
ROK soldiers in stoic silence. Rigid protocoldictates that visitors are not to wave, shout or gesticulate in any way toward North Koreanguards positioned just yards away. For themost part, it’s exactly what one would expectfrom such a place. But the DMZ reveals a fewsurprises. It may be the last place one wouldexpect to nd a popular tourist attraction with a
gift shop and a one-hole golf course.Servicemembers, Civilians and Family
Members are encouraged to visit the DMZwhile stationed in Korea. For information on theUSO’s tour schedule or reservations, call DSN795-3063/3028 or DSN 724-7781.

USAG-Yongsan Public Affairs
For Civilian employees and Family
Members, the most important thing you
may need in Korea, besides a great pair
of walking shoes, is a Ration Control
Card.
Your ration card is just as important
as your military identication card. In
short, it is a card that most on-post
businesses, like Army and Air Force
Exchange, commissary and the Chosun
Gift Shop, need to see before you can
make purchases.Ofcials want to make sure you are
not purchasing huge quantities of any
item in order to resell. Your sponsor
should be able to help provide you with
a temporary card when you arrive.
To get a ration card, applicants must
attend a training session at the Yongsan
Readiness Center. Upon completion of
the course, applicants will receive a
memorandum to take to the Directorate
of Emergency Services, Ration Control
Issue Point. DES is located on South
Post at U.S. Army Garrison-Yongsan,
Bldg. 4305, Room 105. For information,
call 738-4612. Following are some
important points about this importantcard:g You will need a ration card for each
authorized Family Member (children
ages 10 and up).
g Don’t leave home without it.
g During their rst two weeks in Korea,
Civilian employees and Family Members
can shop in the commissary and
exchange with a military identication
card and a copy of their PCS orders.
g Family Members with sponsors
assigned to 2nd Infantry Division need
to contact the Division Liaison Ofce at
the Yongsan Readiness Center across
the parking lot of the Dragon Hill Lodge
for a ration card.
g Every purchase in the commissary is
recorded in a real-time system based on
a shopper’s identication number. The
commissary system sends information
to a database which automatically
generates a violation notice if you
exceed your purchase limit.
g At the PX, ration limits restrict
purchasing a maximum of three of
the same high-value item. Cosmetics,
select health and beauty aids and select
wines are some of the high-value, high-
demand items.
Ration card process and procedures
will be covered in-depth during the
inprocessing program at the Yongsan
Readiness Center.The Ration Card issuing office
is located adjacent to the Yongsan
Readiness Center Bldg. 4305, Rm. 105.
For information, call 738-4612. Hours
are weekdays 9 am. -5 p.m., Thursdays

BASIC KOREAN PHRASES
The Korean written language, Hangul, is very easy for newcomers to Korea to learnin just a few hours. Knowing how to sound out words can help with reading streetsigns, subway station names, and names of businesses. Many English and other
foreign words are written in Hangul in Korean. You’ll be amazed at how many signsyou can read and excited when you discover that you recognize English wordswritten in Hangul. There have been many different styles of romanization for Koreanover the years. Recently a revised romanization of Korean has been adopted. It wasdeveloped by the National Academy of the Korean Language from 1995 and wasreleased to the public on July 7, 2000, by South Korea's Ministry of Culture andTourism. This guide uses that revised romanization standard. To properly pronounceromanized Korean, use the pronunciation guide at the right.
ROMANIZED KOREAN PRONUNCIATION GUIDEConsonants in Korean sound similar to English consonants. Generally, hard consonants inKorean like “k” and “p” are not as hard as the English versions unless a double consonantlike “kk” or “pp” is used. There are many exceptions that you will learn through experience.
Vowels can be a little bit tricky. The romanized korean letter “i” is always pronounced with along “e” sound like in the word “seen”. The romanized letters “e” and “ae” are pronouncedwith a short “e” sound like “beg”. The letters “oe” together sound like the word “way”. Theletter “a” is pronounced with the short “a” sound like in the word “blah”. The letter “o” ispronounced like the vowel sound in the word “boat”. The letter “u” is pronounced like thevowel sound in “swoon”. The vowel combination “eo” is pronounced like “aw” in “saw”. Thevowel combination “eu” is pronounced like the vowel sound in “good”. The vowel combina-tion “ui” is pronounced like “whee”. All of the vowel combinations that start with the letter“y” and “w” are pronounced with a “y” or “w” sound added to the beginning of the sound.

## 1st Replacement Company (1RC)-Provided Buses Depart Incheon for 1RC (building across parking lot from
DHL) at: 08:00, 10:00, 17:00, 18:00, 19:00, 21:00, and 22:00. Priority is given to inbound PCS personnel but other passengers m ay ride on a Space Available basis.
Airport Shuttle Bus
When you arrive in Korea at Incheon
International Airport, one thing is almost certain
- you will be tired and wish you were anywhere
else rather than dealing with paperwork.
Do not, under any circumstances, try to
bring weapons or contraband into Korea.
While the customs inspectors are pleasant
and helpful, they are also very thorough.
Contraband, such as drugs and deer antlers,
will get you in trouble not only with the Koreans
but also the U.S. Military Police.
All incoming personnel must rst process
through the 1st Replacement Company desk
at the airport.
Inbound Army personnel must use the 1RC
bus to Yongsan Garrison. Soldiers have to use
this form of transportation, unless a sponsor has
obtained prior clearance from 1RC.
This policy applies to staff sergeants and
below. Senior noncommissioned ofcers and
ofcers can be picked up by a sponsor if they
get prior clearance. For information, call 723-
6452, or commercial 0505-723-6452.
At Incheon International Airport, newcomers
are met by U.S. Forces Korea reception
personnel at the baggage claim area.
If you do not see the reception personnel
in the terminal, go through the entire customs
and immigration and baggage claim process
with your leave form, orders and identication
card ready. For civilians only, make sure your
passport is stamped.
You should look for the U.S. Military Liaison
Ofce located near Gate 14.
There are several exits out of the baggage
claim area. If you are unsure which exit is
correct, go ahead and depart any exit. You
should read the monitors located above the exit
doors. Your ight number will be posted with
an exit door letter. If you have exited the wrong
way, don’t worry, you will be able to easily walk
to the correct exit.
Once you have met your sponsor, they will
most likely take you directly to your lodging, but
please check-in to 1RC rst. The rst night’s
lodging is paid for by 1RC, but only if personnel
check-in. The 1RC will also be able to advise
you where you need to go for inprocessing.
For civilians only, if you need to go to
Yongsan on your own, go through any of the exit
doors. You can either take a taxi (expensive) or
the Dragon Hill Lodge shuttle (free) to Yongsan
Garrison. If you wish to take the bus, look for
signs to the USO desk, located at Gate 14.
If the USO desk is open, they can tell you
when the bus to Yongsan is departing. Since you
will be in permanent change of station status,
you and your family members will have priority
above anyone else wishing to ride the bus, aside
from any others in PCS status.
Taxis are located outside the terminal. Army
and Air Force Exchange Service taxis have
English-speaking drivers. They are the only
taxis authorized to come on-post, so it is better
to take one of these.
The AAFES taxis, which are black with
gold letters, park to the far right as you exit the
airport. The AAFES taxi stand is near Gate 14.
For information, call 02-7913-5550. All AAFES
taxis have meters, that read in Korean currency,
but drivers accept U.S. dollars.
If you take a Korean taxi, be sure to have
Korean currency. Try to select a cab which
has clearly visible identication about both the
driver and vehicle. A taxi ride to post will cost
about $50-$60.
Passengers travelling on foreign airlines
at the Incheon International Airport should use
the newly-opened terminal building. Until now,
both domestic and foreign airlines have used
the existing terminal.
With the opening of the new terminal
building, the moving line for arrival and
departure procedures will be significantly
changed. Arriving at the existing terminal,
passengers of foreign airlines should go
through check-in and departure procedure,
and get on STARLINE (shuttle railway) at the
underground of terminal to move to the new
terminal building. It takes about 10 minutes to
get to the terminal building including walking.
During arrival, take STARLINE at the terminal
building, move to the existing terminal and go
through the arrival procedure.
Check-in counters on third floor of the
existing terminal will be rearranged. In the past,
check-in counters of Korean Air and Asiana
Airlines were located on the east side and
foreign airlines were on the west side. However,
Asiana Airlines will move to the west and foreign
airlines will move to the center.
Unlike the existing terminal, the newly-built
terminal building is equipped with facilities only
for departure and arrival procedures. It has
two stories below and ve above the ground.
Among 30 gates of the terminal building, three
are available for the world’s largest passenger
plane-A380.
All Military Arrivals
All Army personnel must report to
the 1RC, Bldg. 4034 next to the Dragon
Hill Lodge. You will have a short brieng,
and then check into lodging. Locations for
inprocessing vary depending on service.
Contact your military liaison or sponsor.
