2nd Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division

RODRIGUEZ LIVE FIRE COMPLEX, South Korea - Soldiers from the 2nd Infantry Division/Republic of Korea-U.S. Combined Division and its rotational elements highlighted the unit’s capabilities and mission on the peninsula for Gen. Mark A. Milley, the U.S. Army Chief of Staff, during his visit to Camp Humphreys and Rodriguez Live Fire Complex, Aug. 18.
Milley emphasized the combined division’s importance in the stability of the region, the very real mission its Soldiers face daily, and the critical role “Fight Tonight” readiness plays on the peninsula.
While at Camp Humphreys, Milley met with the division’s brigade command teams, had lunch with Soldiers from the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, and did a quick tour of the progress of the installation that will be the future home for the majority of U.S. Soldiers on the peninsula as part of the U.S.-ROK partnership agreement to increase readiness by relocating U.S. troops south.
At Rodriguez Live Fire Complex, troops from the 210th Field Artillery Brigade, 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade, and rotational Soldiers from the 1st Armored Brigade Combat Team, 1st Calvary Division, discussed their capabilities and shared static displays with Milley.
He wrapped up his time at RLFC with a motivating talk to the division’s senior staff and a discussion about the unit’s primary missions, the impact of rotational elements, the combined nature of the division, and the relocation to Humphreys.
