Description: The size of this patch is 3" x 3.4".The story of the Imjin Scout is the story of the American infantry soldier and his service north of the Imjin River along the Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) from 1965, when the title "Imjin Scout" was adopted, until the early 1990s, when the final elements of the 2nd Infantry Division were withdrawn to positions south of the river. The Korea war which was never declared never ended. The Zone heated up in late 1966, and a "low intensity conflict" ensued which lasted several years. Soldiers stationed along the "Z" drew Hostile Fire Pay under Rule 1 until 1973. Many were awarded the highly regarded Combat Infantryman's Badge (CIB). And many died. Because the late '60's to the early 70's, particularly, encompassed America's most intense involvment in Southeast Asia, there was little public knowledge of the combat going on in Korea. To some extent, this minimal coverage was deliberate: American military assets were stretched so thinly across the world that our government had little desire to call attention to our vulnerability in places like Frozen Chosun. "Freedom's Frontier" was to be held by the Imjin Scouts. The title "Imjin Scout" was the direct creation of Brigadier General Roland M. Gleszer, who was the Assistant Division Commander for Operations of the 2nd Infantry Division in 1965. BG Gleszer personally conceived the title and directed the development of the Imjin Scouts patch and a program to govern its award.COMBINED SHIPMENT OF MULTIPLE ITEMS IS REDUCED TO SAVE YOU MONEY.YOUR ITEM WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 24 HOURS UPON RECEIPT OF YOUR PAYMENT.FOR INTERNATIONAL BUYERS ONLY: WE WILL SHIP BY 1st CLASS MAIL.
