\n \n Another army which is primarily an infantry army, in the late 1980\u00e2\u0080\u0099s and on into the 1990\u00e2\u0080\u0099s it has had the economic backing of one of the fastest growing economies in the world. It follows the American model to a large extent, and is an ally. It did fight in Vietnam and proved to be effective, if brutal. The unit used for Vietnam was the Capital Mechanized Division, mounted in M113, with its armored brigade but with a tank battalion (M47) possibly attached.<\/span>\n <\/p>\n \n South Korean Brigade Headquarters 1957 to 1997<\/span><\/b> (Commands 3-4 Battalions)<\/span><\/p>\n HQ <\/span><\/span><\/b> 1 HQ<\/span><\/p>\n Recce Company <\/span><\/span><\/b> 1 M8, 3 Jeep\/MG<\/span><\/p>\n Helicopter Flight <\/span><\/span><\/b> 2 OH500MD or AH1<\/span><\/p>\n Brigade Anti Tank Co<\/span><\/b>mpan<\/span><\/b>y <\/span><\/span><\/b> 2 M36 or 2 M18 or 2 Jeep\/Tow or 2 M150 (Tow from 1978, M36\/M18 to 1990)<\/span><\/p>\n Divisional AA Platoon <\/span><\/span><\/b> 2 Truck, 2 40AAG <\/span> <\/span><\/b><\/span><\/p>\n Divisional Tank Co<\/span><\/b>mpan<\/span><\/b>y <\/span><\/span><\/b> 3 M47 or M48 (in Infantry Units only)<\/span><\/p>\n \n \n Note <\/span><\/b> An Infantry Brigade has Trucks. <\/span> Mechanized units must use M113 variants or M3 until 1967.
