CONTENTS DESCRIPTION: The 2nd Infantry Division played a crucial role during the Korean War, engaging in significant battles and operations. The division was activated for service in Korea shortly after the outbreak of the war in June 1950. It was one of the first U.S. Army divisions to arrive in Korea, moving from Fort Lewis, Washington, to Pusan. Unique for incorporating South Korean soldiers through the KATUSA program, the division exemplified U.S.-South Korean cooperation. The division participated in several critical engagements, including the defense of the Pusan Perimeter and the battles at Chipyong-ni and Wonju. Notably, during the battle at Bloody Ridge, the division faced fierce combat against North Korean forces, contributing to the eventual withdrawal of enemy troops. .
