Korea is one of the few places in the world where Soldiers conduct combined, joint, and multilateral training in an integrated training environment. Working alongside ROK counterparts, service members stationed in Korea develop friendships that last a lifetime and get a once in a life-time opportunity to explore and experience the Asia-Pacific and all the vibrant destinations it has to offer. #HowIKorea #USArmy (Photo courtesy US Army/ Spc.

Physical Training
As members of the profession of arms, leadership is at the very core of everything we do. As leaders, we must be role models for our Nation and Army. As such, we have a duty to uphold the legacy of service as stewards of our institution. Part of our stewardship is the duty to develop Soldiers, Noncommissioned Officers, and Officers who will lead our Army and Nation into the future. #SquadGoals #GoArmy (Photo Courtesy U.S. Army/ Spc.

The KATUSA Program
2020 marks the 70th year of the KATUSA program which was established to augment the U.S. Army with Korean Army Soldiers to increase the combined defense capability on the peninsula.
Since 1950, KATUSAs and American Soldiers have stood shoulder to shoulder through the toughest, most realistic training in the world to prepare to execute their war-time mission set if called upon to “Fight Tonight”.
About 3,600 Koreans earn the privilege to serve with the U.S. Army as a Korean Augmentation to the United States Army, or KATUSA.These KATUSAs serve alongside U.S. Army Soldiers and are functionally part of the U.S. Army — from morning physical training, to tactical training, to the rest of the workday, they serve shoulder to shoulder with their allies.
