2nd Infantry Division Celebrates 7th Anniversary as a Combined Division

From the Stars & Stripes:

Military leaders celebrate the Republic of Korea-U.S. Combined Division’s seventh anniversary at Camp Humphreys, South Korea, Friday, June 3, 2022. (U.S. Army )

The Republic of Korea-U.S. Combined Division, the only division in the Army composed of soldiers from both countries, celebrated its seventh anniversary on Friday with a ceremony at 2nd Infantry Division headquarters. 

The two allies formed the combined army division in 2015 as a deterrent to further conflict in South Korea.

Roughly 12,000 troops are part of the five brigades within the division and they conduct an average of 80 missions each year, including large scale joint military exercises. It also trains with a South Korean mechanized brigade. 

Originally based at Camp Red Cloud, the division moved in 2018 to Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, where 2nd ID, Eighth Army, U.S. Forces Korea and U.N. Command are also headquartered.
