Special Operations Command, Korea (SOCKOR) located at Camp Kim in
Yongsan, Korea, is the theater SOC responsible for special operations
on the Korean peninsula and, when established, the Korean Theater
of Operations (KTO).
The 1st Signal Brigade Project Support Directorate is at Camp Kim.

management, engineering, installation, test & acceptance, and
performance evaluation support for US Forces Korea, US Army Japan
(USARJ), USAISC O&M Commands, Program Executive Offices (PEO)
and Program Managers (PM).

The Korean Service Corps [KSC] is headquartered at Camp Kim. The wartime
mission of the KSC is to transport ammunition and supplies, evacuate
sick and wounded, construct field fortifications, repair and maintain
tactical roads and bridges, operate supply points and perform other
functions as required in support of USFK and EUSA. During armistice,
the KSC exists to facilitate the mission of US units in the defense
of the Republic of Korea in accordance with the US /ROK agreement
regarding the status of the KSC ? a Status of Forces Agreement related
document. The armistice mission of the KSC is to: support engineer
projects, assist in the operation of US logistics installations, assist
in the performance of accountability and surveillance functions of
ammunitions and explosives, ambulance operation and nursing assistance,
firing range operations, heating equipment operation and maintenance,
military bus operations, decontamination support, support of base
operations functions and assume contract defaults and other projects
as directed by the commanding general, EUSA. The creation of the KSC
is traced back to a July 26, 1950 Presidential Emergency Decree No.
6 signed by South Korean President Rhee, Syngman. This decree changed
thousands of Korean men¡¯s lives and proved to be one of the significant
events of the Korean War. The decree allowed for the legal commandeering
of all the national assets indispensable to fighting a war. Manpower
proved to be the most critical resource needed, thus men were conscripted
to assist in the effort of supplying troops, repairing roads and buildings
defensive structures. This organization continues to work side by
side with US forces in the defense and continuance of peace on the
Korean peninsula. The KSC¡¯s support role continues and is tailored
to support a war mobilization effort if hostilities should erupt again.
