38th Replacement Battilion- Korea

The 38th Replacement Battalion was a key U.S. Army unit during the Korean War, responsible for processing and assigning incoming personnel to frontline units. Activated in 1950, the battalion operated primarily out of Pusan and other rear-area locations as the main replacement depot for United Nations forces. It ensured that soldiers arriving from the United States and Japan were properly equipped, oriented, and assigned to combat and support units at the front. The 38th Replacement Battalion played a vital logistical role throughout the conflict, maintaining the strength and effectiveness of fighting forces during some of the war’s most intense periods.
