SN John Freeman's Pacific Spotlight with Suzan Lebron at Commander Fleet Activities Sasebo Japan.

Army University Press presents Korea: Twin Tunnels. This documentary addresses how the United States Army of 1950 fought in the Korean peninsula, while accentuating doctrine pertinent to today’s U.S. Army. The end of the Second World War resulted in the dismantling of the Japanese Empire. As a territory of that empire, Korea witnessed the arrival of American and Soviet troops. The eventual deterioration of relations between the United States and the Soviet Union wrecked the planned emergence of a unified Korea. Instead, two separate nations emerged—placing the opposing governments on a trajectory towards conflict. Following the North Korean invasion of South Korea, United States Army and United Nations forces helped the Republic of Korea fight for its existence. Under the U.S. Eighth Army, allied forces repulsed the North Korean invasion in June of 1950. After advancing deep into North Korea, the forces allied with South Korea withdrew in wake of Chinese intervention in late-1950. Under the command of General Matthew B. Ridgway, allied forces attempted to regain the offensive—resulting in the battle at the Twin Tunnels.

The 2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division hosted a ribbon-cutting, dedication ceremony to officially open the new headquarters Nov. 20. The ceremony signified the completion of the long-awaited #2IDRUCD transition from its former 53-year home on Camp Red Cloud to its new facility on U.S. Army Garrison Humphreys (Camp Humphreys). The unit also honored the late Warriors, Maj. Gen. Walter M. Robertson and Maj. Gen. Paul L. Freeman Jr., in which the parade field and headquarters were named after respectively. Maj. Gen. D. Scott McKean, San Jose, California native, commanding general, 2ID/RUCD and Command Sgt. Maj. Phil K. Barretto, Aiea, Hawaii native, 2ID/RUCD sergeant major unveiled the Robertson Field plaque, commemorating the division’s relocation and honoring Maj. Gen Robertson who commanded 2ID throughout World War II. The new headquarters was named in honor of Gen. Paul L. Freeman Jr., former commander of 23rd Infantry Regiment, 2ID whose regiment had the first major U.S. Army victory over Chinese Communist Forces during the Korean War. “The opening of Freeman Hall represents another milestone in the development of the ROK-U.S alliance,” said McKean. “It’s truly our honor to occupy this headquarters and continue our mission here in Pyeongtaek.” McKean, Barretto and distinguished guests cut the ceremonial ribbon, officially opening Freeman Hall. “As we begin our new chapter here, let there be no doubt, we will continue to be steadfast and ready in our responsibilities to defend the Republic of Korea,” said McKean. “We will continue to be #Second2None!”
