History: The Installation Management

Command, a single organization with six
regional offices worldwide, was activated
on Oct. 24, 2006, to apply a uniform
business structure to manage U.S. Army
installations, sustain the environment
and enhance the well-being of the
military community. It consolidated three
organizations under a single command as a
direct reporting unit: The former Installation
Management Agency; Family and Morale,
Welfare and Recreation Command, and the
FUN FOR EVERYONE: One of the most popular facilities is the “Splish and Splash” aquatics park. The first of its kind in Korea, this facility features Army Environmental Command, which is a
and Olympic-sized lap pool, slides, a diving area and shallow play zones for small children. — U.S. Army Photo by Mike Mooney subordinate command of IMCOM.

The command brings together all base

operations support services to ensure
optimal care, support and training of our
fighting force, overseeing all facets of
installation support, including environmental
programs, construction, morale and welfare,
family care, force protection, logistics, public
works, and the planning, programming and
budget matters that provide resources
for these functions. The establishment of
IMCOM was a historic, comprehensive
change enabling the Army to enhance
quality of life for Soldiers, enable tactical
units to focus on training, deployment and
operations, strengthen combat readiness
to prevail in transformation, and support
the Army’s Vision.

Mission: Our mission is to provide

the U.S. Army in Korea the installation
capabilities and services to support
expeditionary operations in a time of
persistent conflict, and to provide a
quality of life for Soldiers & Families
commensurate with their service.

Vision: We are the Army’s home. We

provide a source of balance that ensures,
an environment in which Soldiers and
Families can thrive, a structure that
supports unit readiness in an era of
persistent conflict, and a foundation for
building the future.

Army Family Covenant: We recognize

the commitment and increasing sacrifices
that our families are making every day
and are committed to providing Soldiers
and families a quality of life that is
commensurate with their service. We are
also working to providing our families a

History: Yongsan Garrison is one of nine
Army installations that make up U.S. Army
Garrison Yongsan. Yongsan is home to the
headquarters of the U.S. military presence
in Korea, known as United States Forces
Korea, as well as the headquarters for
the 8th U.S. Army and the Installation
Management Command Korea Region.At
the close of World War II, U.S. forces took
over the garrison from occupying Japanese
Imperial Army soldiers. The newly formed
Republic of Korea government granted U.S.
forces permission to use the garrison.
During the Korean War, the garrison
was abandoned, and then reclaimed. Camp
Coiner, covering approximately 50 acres
on Yongsan Garrison’s northern edge,
is named after 2nd Lt. Randall Coiner, a
Korean War Silver Star recipient. After the
Korean War it served as Korea’s primary
in-processing facility for Army troops. The
1st Replacement Company serves as
the central in-processing and orientation
center for U.S. Servicemembers and their Seosan
families arriving to Korea. The garrison
also provides installation support for a U.S.
Army leased housing area called Hannam
Village, K-16 Air Base, Camp Kim, Camp
Market, the Far East District Compound,
several remote signal sites, Camp Morse,
Sungnam Golf Course, Command Post

appeal to just about every group; a tour to Korea isn’t all work, as events such as the
“Global Showdown Korea Tour 2010,” along with concerts and comedians, regularly come
to Korea to entertain; thanks to the Better Opportunities for Single (and Unaccompanied)
Soldiers, or BOSS, program, troops from all over the peninsula have an opportunity to blow
off steam at the Beach Blast, usually held in June; participating in BOSS programs aren’t all

Ration Readiness:
Ration Control
Card use in
US Forces Korea
Information courtesy of
USAG Yongsan and USAG
Daegu 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 identification card. In
short, it is a card that most on-post
businesses, like Army and Air Force
Exchange, commissary and various
other facilities need to see before you
can make purchases.
Officials 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.
For information on getting a ration
card, applicants should, call 738-4612.
USAG Daegu has two issue points
on Camp Henry (768-7158) in Daegu
and on Camp Carroll (765-7890) in
Waegwan.
Here is some important information
you should know about ration control and
how to make sure you can do your part
to combat black marketing:

g  You will need a ration card for each

authorized Family Member (children
ages 10 and up).
g Don’t leave home without it. Ensure

you place it in your purse or wallet so it

will always be on you.
g During their first 30 days in Korea,

Civilian employees and Family Members

can shop in the commissary and
exchange but must get a temporary
stamp on their letter of employment or
PCS orders in advance. Orders are not
valid for shopping at Commissary and
Exchange without a stamp from Ration
Control.
g Family Members with sponsors
assigned to 2nd Infantry Division need
to contact the Division Liaison Office 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 identification 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.
Yongsan’s 1st Replacement Company provides
‘one-stop’ orientation for newcomers
YONGSAN GARRISON, REPUBLIC
OF KOREA – The 1st Replacement
Company, the central inprocessing and
orientation center for nearly everyone
on orders to Korea, has a new four-day
program.
1RC officials reorganized the current
five-day program into four days.
“We did this so we could get Soldiers
out to their units faster,” said CSM Ralph
Rusch, Yongsan Garrison Command
Sergeant Major. “After analyzing the
schedule, we realized there was some down
time that we could use better, and this makes
more efficient use of Soldiers’ time.”
The 1RC is designed to be a one-stop
central inprocessing and orientation center
for Soldiers and Civilians and their Families
who will live in Areas II, III and IV. It first
opened in August 2007 under a USFK
initiative to provide in-depth orientation
for newcomers to Korea.
While Soldiers must attend the entire
four days, Civilians and Family Members
must attend two of the four days.
Soldiers who will be assigned to 2nd
Infantry Division will inprocess at the
Warrior Readiness Center located at Camp
Stanley, Rusch said.
New arrivals initially check in with the
1st Replacement Company, from arrival at
the airport through the next full duty day,
referred to as “Day 0.” The 1RC takes over
from there.
“We call our four days of inprocessing
Alpha, Bravo, Charlie and Delta,
respectively,” Rusch explained. “They rotate
and are not tied to any specific day of the
week. If you arrive Tuesday evening, then
Wednesday is your Day 0 with the 1RC
and Thursday is your Day Alpha, Bravo,
Charlie or Delta, depending on the briefing
schedule for the current week.”
Two days of orientation for Soldiers
consist of briefings introducing them
to policies, regulations, and readiness
training inherent to Korea, including
Department of the Army-mandated
personal financial management training
for first-term Soldiers.
Civilian Employees and Family
Members join in on Charlie and Delta
days, which focus on available family
and community programs, ration card
process and procedures, and Korean
culture, including a trip to the Korean
War Museum adjacent to Yongsan
Main Post.
For Yongsan-based families, Army
Community Service hosts an hour-
long windshield tour of Yongsan
Garrison.
“Everyone loves the cultural sessions,”
Rusch said. “The feedback we get shows
that is the highlight of the training, and
they want more.”
Spouses, Civilians, and Family
Members eligible for ration cards must
attend Charlie and Delta days as a
prerequisite to getting a ration card.
The 1RC also has a free child-care
facility on-site with a capacity of 15
children.
“The program has really become
a family-friendly experience,” Rusch
said. “We want your first impressions
of Korea to be positive.” g

During the Korean War, the camp saw little

Korean War overview, 1950-1953
Outbreak of the War
The Korean War began with a surprise
attack June 25, 1950, when eight divisions
and an armored brigade (90,000 soldiers) of
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, NKPA
forces moved rapidly through the Uijongbu
Gap on the west side of the Korean peninsula
and captured Seoul, South Korea’s capital.
The ROKA fled 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
a 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 and
equipment. 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. Outflanked 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 became
its 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 fleshed 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 fighting force.
THE KOREAN WAR
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, Truman
directed 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 fierce battles with the
CCF. Severe fighting 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 merely
defensive.
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 difficulties 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 withdrawal
of 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 from
the 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 inflict maximum casualties on the enemy
with minimum losses to his troops. Ridgway
proposed a war of maneuver, slashing the
enemy as it withdrew and fighting delaying
actions when the enemy attacked. Land gains
became 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 first 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 the
new, more limited objectives that American and
U.N. officials 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-fire
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 fighting lapsed into patrolling and
small local clashes, armistice negotiations
began on July 10, 1951. The opposing
delegations agreed that hostilities would
continue until an armistice was signed. Except
for brief episodes, action along the front for the
next two years never regained the momentum
of the first 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 battlefield stalemate was periodically
interrupted by artillery duels, ambushes, raids
and costly small-scale hill battles such as Old
Baldy. The battlefield lull enabled the Army to
WELCOME EDITION • PAGE 25
http://imcom.korea.army.mil
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
final 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 fighting 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 first year
of fighting. 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.

KATUSA
Korean Augmentation to the United States Army
In Korea, most military-aged males must
serve in the armed forces for a period of
approximately two years. Some of these young
men perform their obligation to their country
by becoming integrated into the 8th U.S. Army
through a unique program known as Korean
Augmentation to the U.S. Army.
KATUSA Soldiers are Republic of Korea
Army soldiers who serve under the U.S. chain
of command, but are commanded by the ROK
Army in personnel management.
The KATUSA program began in July 1950,
through an informal agreement between the
ROK president and Gen. Douglas MacArthur to
augment U.S. forces during the early stages of
the Korean War. Until 1982, KATUSA Soldiers
were selected from either the Army Basic
Military Training Center or cadres of ROK
Army units.
Currently, KATUSA Soldiers are chosen
randomly among a pool comprised of those
who have demonstrated English proficiency as
measured by a standardized test.
The KATUSA program is important because
KATUSA Soldiers comprise approximately 10
percent of the total 8th U.S. Army manpower in
Korea, with more than 3,500 KATUSA Soldiers
serving side-by-side with their U.S. counterparts.
The program also serves as a combat multiplier
and increases combat readiness for the
U.S. and ROK combined defense capability
throughout the Korean peninsula. In addition,
the program is symbolic of the U.S and ROK
alliance and mutual support systems.
Because of their limited service time,
KATUSA Soldiers have a promotion system that
differs from U.S. Soldiers. While their American
counterparts gain promotion by amassing points
and attending boards, KATUSA Soldiers serve
in a rank for a specified period of time and
are then automatically promoted to the next
highest rank.
ROKA staff office has five major missions.
These include KATUSA management, KATUSA
discipline, ROKA-directed training, U.S. and
ROK friendship activities and U.S. and ROK
liaison work.
Serving as a KATUSA Soldier is a tradition
that strengthens the Republic of Korea and the 2009 KATUSA-U.S. Soldier Friendship Week, Yongsan Garrison (above). KATUSAs serve

KOREAN DEMILITARIZED ZONE
DMZ
Take a trip inside
the Korean
Demilitarized Zone
PANMUNJOM — The Korean War
began on a Sunday morning in 1950, when
Communist North Korean struck South Korea
in a pre-dawn infantry and artillery assault. Over
the next three years it is estimated that about
one million South Koreans were killed or went
missing in the conflict. An additional 33,686 U.S.
Servicemembers perished in battle at places
with names like “Heartbreak Ridge” and “Pork
Chop Hill.”
Almost exactly three years after the conflict
began, a cease-fire was declared on July 27,
1953 and since that time North and South Korea
have been separated by one of the world’s
most intensely guarded borders. The Korean
DMZ cuts across the peninsula near the 38th
parallel, along the line of fighting positions held
by each side when the cease-fire was called.
That cease-fire remains in effect today.
A journey to the DMZ helps to illustrate the
importance of the U.S. military presence in
Korea, and the vital partnership of the US-ROK
Alliance.
Interesting sites to visit include Dorasan
Station, a railroad that runs between the two
Koreas; the “Third Infiltration Tunnel”, one
of four known tunnels constructed by North
Korea; The Military Armistice Commission
Building, and the Bridge of No Return, a historic
remnant of the Cold War era, which crosses
WELCOME EDITION • PAGE 27
http://imcom.korea.army.mil
the DMZ in the Joint Security Area. The bridge
is especially noteworthy as it was used for
prisoner exchanges at the end of the Korean
War. The name originates from the fact that
prisoners were given the choice to remain in
the country of their captivity or cross over to
the other country. But if they chose to cross the
bridge, they would never be allowed to return.
Today, a trip to the Korean Demilitarized
Zone can be a surreal experience.
Often described as the most heavily
defended border in the world, this remains one
of the only places on earth where large armies
still stand toe-to-toe in formidable opposition.
Inside the DMZ, Panmunjom is a heavily
fortified encampment, patrolled at all times by
ROK soldiers in stoic silence. Rigid protocol
dictates that visitors are not to wave, shout or
gesticulate in any way toward North Korean
guards positioned just yards away. For the
most part, it’s exactly what one would expect
from such a place. But the DMZ reveals a few
surprises. It may be the last place one would
expect to find a popular tourist attraction with a
gift shop and a one-hole golf course.
Servicemembers, Civilians and Family
Members are encouraged to visit the DMZ
while stationed in Korea. For information on the
USO’s tour schedule or reservations, call DSN
724-7003, 724-3301 or 724-7781.

Childcare Fees to increase Oct. 1

ALEXANDRIA, Va. – Beginning
Oct. 1, most Army Families will see an
increase in their child care fees, while
Charts below outline new garrison-specific fees
others will see a reduction and some
will see no change in fees for School
Year 2010-2011. This is a result of a
new Department of Defense policy.
Charts outlining garrison specific
fees are shown on the right.
According to Maj. Gen. Reuben
Jones, commander of the Family
and Morale, Welfare and Recreation
Command, the Army will ensure
outstanding Youth Programs and a
quality of life for Soldiers and Families
commensurate with their service.
“Army Families will continue to have
access to some of the best Child and
Youth Programs found anywhere in the
world,” Jones said.
The Army Family Action Plan also
played an important role in shaping
the new policy. One result of AFAP
was as expansion in the number of
income categories to better reflect
the full range of family incomes found
across the Army.
By law, child care fees are based
on total family income (excluding
certain special pay and allowances),
not rank or civilian grade. In 2008,
DoD conducted an in-depth study of
the child development program fee
policy. As a result, they determined
current fee ranges were no longer in
sync with the total family income for a
majority of the users, and the fees have
not kept pace with the increasing costs
of providing care.
“While the cost of providing child
care has risen each of the past six
years, the value of the programs
has also increased for Soldiers, their
children and the Army,” said Peggy
Hinson, Child Youth and School
Services Director at FMWRC.
The National Association of Child
Care Resource and Referral Agencies,
the country’s leading voice for child
care, issues a biennial report on
the quality of nationwide child care,
including the DoD. The 2007 study
found that the DoD child care system
“stands alone as a model for states.”
In that report, military child care ranked
first among the 50 states and the
District of Columbia, and was the only
entity to score in the top ten for both
standards and oversight criteria. A
2009 update confirmed that DoD child
care continues to score more than 60
percent above the national average.
The School Year 2010-2011 Child
Care Fee Policy will contain nine
categories, with three added at the
top to more accurately accommodate
higher incomes.
Under existing policy, Families
earning $70,001 pay the same fees as
those making more than $100,000. The
three additional categories will raise
fees incrementally to cover Families
earning $125,001 or more annually.
Those earning $85,000 and
below will see smaller increases.
Furthermore, some lower-income
Families will pay reduced fees under
the new policy.
Commanders may authorize ad-
ditional fee reductions for Families
with temporary, documented financial
hardships. Fee reductions are in effect
while military parents are deployed.

B
etter Opportunities for Single and
Unaccompanied Soldiers, or BOSS, is
a dynamic Soldier program in Korea.
It is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life
for single or geographically single Soldiers of
all ranks by providing them an effective voice
at the installation where they serve. Soldiers
and FMWR advisors work hand-in-hand with
Commanders, Command Sergeants’ Major,
and First Sergeants to provide superior leisure
programs and help direct the resolution of
quality of life issues for Soldiers.
What is BOSS?
The Better Opportunities for Single Soldiers
Program supports the overall quality of single and
unaccompanied Soldiers’ lives. BOSS identifies
real Soldier well being issues and concerns by
recommending improvements through the chain
of command. BOSS encourages and assists
single Soldiers in identifying and planning for
recreational and leisure activities. Additionally,
it gives single Soldiers the opportunity to
participate in and contribute to their respective
communities.
History of BOSS
The BOSS program was established in 1989
to respond to the recreational needs of single
soldiers, who make up 40% of the Army. As
the program was implemented throughout the
Army, it became evident that well being was the
primary concern of single soldiers. In 1991, the
Chief of Staff of the Army officially expanded
BOSS to include all aspects of soldiers’ lives.
BOSS members later began to express an
interest in participating in community service
projects. Recreation and leisure, well being
(Quality of Life), and community service are the
core components of the BOSS program.
How Does BOSS Work?
Installations establish a formal BOSS program,
to include a BOSS council consisting of single
Soldier representatives from installation
units. Typically, the installation Command
Sergeant Major serves as the senior military
advisor to the council. An installation FMWR
advisor is appointed to provide guidance in
planning activities, financial accountability,
and marketing. Motivated single Soldiers with
strong senior military and FMWR guidance are
the backbone of the BOSS program.
Who May Participate in BOSS events?
All events are targeted to the single and
unaccompanied Soldier. Although the intent of
the BOSS program in Korea is for single and
unaccompanied Soldiers; events are typically
open to all authorized FMWR users.
What Happens to the Issues Raised by
BOSS?
Issues addressed during a BOSS meeting will
be formatted and submitted to the senior military
advisor to seek resolution through the proper
command channels or staff agency. Issues that
cannot be resolved at the installation level are
coordinated with the installation Army Family
Action Plan coordinator and may be released
by the installation commander to go forward to
the major Army command AFAP.
What is the Soldier’s Role in BOSS?
BOSS councils are comprised of single
and unaccompanied Soldiers from major
subordinate commands and separate units
on an installation. Single and unaccompanied
Soldiers have and opportunity to become unit
representatives, volunteer to assist in planning
an event, and/or attend BOSS activities. The
Department of the Army BOSS circular 608-04-
01 defines the roles of the chain of command
and FMWR personnel at all levels

KOREAN LANGUAGE http://imcom.korea.army.mil

Korean language basics

The Korean written language, Hangul, is very easy for newcomers to Korea to learn
in just a few hours. Knowing how to sound out words can help with reading street
signs, 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 signs
you can read and excited when you discover that you recognize English words
written in Hangul. There have been many different styles of romanization for Korean
over the years. Recently a revised romanization of Korean has been adopted. It was
developed by the National Academy of the Korean Language from 1995 and was
released to the public on July 7, 2000, by South Korea's Ministry of Culture and
Tourism. This guide uses that revised romanization standard. To properly pronounce
romanized Korean, use the pronunciation guide at the right.
ROMANIZED KOREAN PRONUNCIATION GUIDE
Consonants in Korean sound similar to English consonants. Generally, hard consonants in
Korean like “k” and “p” are not as hard as the English versions unless a double consonant
like “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 a
long “e” sound like in the word “seen”. The romanized letters “e” and “ae” are pronounced
with a short “e” sound like “beg”. The letters “oe” together sound like the word “way”. The
letter “a” is pronounced with the short “a” sound like in the word “blah”. The letter “o” is
pronounced like the vowel sound in the word “boat”. The letter “u” is pronounced like the
vowel sound in “swoon”. The vowel combination “eo” is pronounced like “aw” in “saw”. The
vowel 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.

What to expect upon arriving at Incheon
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 first 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 officers and
officers 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 identification
card ready. For civilians only, make sure your
passport is stamped.
You should look for the U.S. Military Liaison
Office located near Gate 14.
There are several exits out of the baggage
claim area. If you are unsure which exit is
Airport Shuttle Bus

## 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 may ride on a Space Available basis.
IAW AR 58-1, RIDERSHIP PRECEDENCE:
(1) ACTIVE DUTY AND DOD PERSONNEL ON OFFICIAL ORDERS (I.E. PCS, TDY, AND EMERGENCY LEAVE)
(2) DOD CONTRACTORS PERFORMING OFFICIAL TRAVEL
(3) NON-DOD FEDERAL EMPLOYEES ON OFFICIAL ORDERS
(4) STANDBY CATEGORY PASSENGERS (IN ORDER OF PRIORITY):
A. OFF-DUTY MILITARY AND DOD CIVILIANS (I.E. REGULAR LEAVE)
B. RESERVE AND NATIONAL GUARD MEMBERS
C. DEPENDENTS OF ACTIVE-DUTY PERSONNEL
D. RETIREES
correct, go ahead and depart any exit. You
should read the monitors located above the exit
doors. Your flight 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 first. The first 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 in processing.
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
