USFK Slaps Curfew Back on 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team
The suspension of the USFK curfew will continue for another 3 months for all Soldiers except for those in the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team:
American troops in South Korea received at least three more months without a curfew after Gen. Robert Abrams extended the temporary suspension of the policy on Tuesday.
However, the 1-5 a.m. off-installation curfew has been slapped back on the 3rd Armored Brigade Combat Team, also known as the “Greywolf Brigade,” which began a nine-month rotation in South Korea in early June.
Abrams, the commander of U.S. Forces Korea, said the temporary reprieve has been going well, but he’s not ready to make it permanent.
“The vast majority of our personnel have conducted themselves appropriately, but I felt it was important to implement an additional 90 days to ensure we are making the correct decision regarding the curfew,” he said in a statement.

You can read more at the link, but the article didn’t say but I assume there must have been enough incidents of misbehavior in the brigade to warrant being subject to the curfew again.
Always knew it would come to this..roational forces being told they are deployed on an advanced combat footing, locked and and battle rattle 24-7. Meanwhile, across the street there is GI Joe, wife and family driving kids to school during the week and going on family fun trips on the weekend. Rotational units are one of the silliest ideas ever come up with.
I fully expected the curfew to be reinstated peninsula-wide thanks to that moron who committed a couple of crimes while drunk. I suggested that the USFK can start naming the curfews after the fool who instigated them.
