South Korea - oob 20

[DRG]

Well........ "Units 360 & 361 in the oob have no radio value" is a valid error that has been corrected and I have made a note to run checks for any others like that in any OOB and I will note down to investigate the para issue as the stock OOB doesn't have any and never had.

There is also one Battalion of Airborne in the Special Ops group. Couldn't pull it out as I ended up using my "free" 7 articles in 30 days in less then 30 minutes!?! Those Rat "Bassturds", but because of them you'll always know where to find the Bass when fishing!?!

The next shows that these forces existed in 1990.

It appears overall that these airborne designated troops have been around since 1957/58 as counterinsurgency Special Forces troops to counter the North Korean Special Forces infiltration units.

I'll race you to baldness, look at the "bright side" we've got ONLY 7.5 years to get there!?!

I'll see what I can find, but South Korea does indeed have paratroopers/SF and Marines, including a female battalion. The lowest rank for any of the female troops is E-6, in an attempt to keep the less disciplined of the male soldiers from messing with them.

Poking around for specific information is making it clear that the ROK is still considered a country at war and many of the details are classified. This may take a long time.
