Points Needed For Rotation In Korea Listed
Washington reports army officials raised the points required for a tour of duty in Korea from 36 to 38 for October though the basic point system remains unchanged. The rotation scheme, in effect since 1951, prioritizes troops with the longest or toughest foreign service. Four points monthly are earned for service in actual combat, aiding the goal of sending home the most seasoned units first.
