Army scrambles to place troops after Korea pullout
Washington sources say 750 men from the 2nd Infantry Division will depart South Korea and be housed temporarily at an undecided U.S. base as the Army debates where to station the entire division. A split between Fort Devens and Fort Dix is favored by some lawmakers, while uniformed leaders prefer keeping the division together at Fort Benning, with training at Fort Drum. The decision has been deferred indefinitely by Defense Secretary Harold Brown amid political pressure from Northeastern lawmakers and ongoing base-closure sensitivities.
