Transportqation Corps, Pier One, Pusan, Korea

The Transportation Corps, Pier One, Pusan, Korea, played a pivotal role during the Korean War (1950-1953) as part of the United States Army’s logistical operations. Established at the vital port city of Pusan (now Busan), this unit managed the unloading, storage, and movement of vast quantities of military supplies, vehicles, and personnel crucial to sustaining United Nations forces. Pier One became a lifeline during the early months of the war, especially during the Pusan Perimeter defense, ensuring a continuous flow of resources despite enemy threats and challenging conditions. The efforts of the Transportation Corps at Pusan contributed significantly to the eventual UN counteroffensive and the stabilization of supply lines throughout the conflict.
