Slow rotation paused Korean troop redeployment
In Seoul on April 1 a slow down in rotation went into effect for regular U S Army soldiers and draftees in Korea. Guardsmen are exempt and to be discharged by August. Front line troops head home after 10 to 11 months while artillery and tented units near the front go home after 14 to 18 months. Rear area personnel stay about 18 months. The system uses a points method to determine release, with changes reclassifying many troops into new zones. The 200,000th American left Korea as Cpl Freddie Leon Clark of Indianapolis was saluted by Gen James A Van Fleet.
