美陆军第44防空旅第1“爱国者”导弹营抵达韩国轮换

    驻德克萨斯州布利斯军营的美陆军第44防空旅第1“爱国者”导弹营日前已抵达韩国卡洛尔军营进行轮换,并计划于11月中旬完成。卡洛尔军营位于半岛东南部,大邱以北30分钟车程。该营将接替2006年底到达韩国的第1防空旅第2营,后者将返回得州胡德堡重新编入陆军防空导弹部队。在为期一年的轮换期内,该营将隶属于驻乌山空军基地的第35防空旅,该旅目前在半岛编有8套“爱国者”防空导弹系统。今年年初开始,第35旅采取换人不换阵地和装备的轮换政策,每隔半年开始进行下一次的轮换任务。该旅下辖的第7防空旅第1营即首批以整编营于今年年初抵达韩国轮换的,目前驻水原空军基地。

Troops from a Patriot missile battalion have started arriving at Camp Carroll in Waegman, South Korea, to replace a fellow battalion.

The 1st Battalion, 44th Air Defense Artillery, is moving to South Korea from Fort Bliss in El Paso, Texas, for a one-year tour to be part of the U.S. Army’s 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade.

The brigade is headquartered at Osan Air Base and maintains eight firing batteries around the peninsula.

Patriot missiles are designed to down aircraft, cruise missiles and tactical ballistic missiles.

The newly-arrived battalion will replace the brigade’s 2nd Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery, which will move to Fort Hood, Texas, to refit and then resume its place on the Army’s Patriot unit rotation schedule, said Maj. James Clarke Jr., the brigade’s executive officer.

The 2nd Battalion has been at Camp Carroll since late 2006. The post is in the peninsula’s southeast, about a 30-minute drive north of Daegu.

The brigade brings in a new battalion every six months for a one-year tour. In the brigade's battalion rotations, troops change places but the missiles and other inventory stay in place.

“They cover down on the equipment,” Clarke said.

The Army began rotating Patriot units in battalion size earlier this year. Before then, it had rotated them in the smaller, battery strength.

The brigade’s 1st Battalion, 7th Air Defense Artillery, was the first Army Patriot battalion to deploy overseas in full battalion strength, a move it made earlier this year. It’s headquartered at Suwon Air Base.

The brigade’s firing batteries are at Suwon, Osan, Camp Carroll and Kunsan Air Base.

The changeover at Camp Carroll is to be finished by mid-November. A transfer-of-authority ceremony will be held at Camp Carroll next month to formally mark the changeover, Clarke said.

The departing 2nd Battalion moved to Camp Carroll in late 2006 from Gwangju Air Base, a South Korean installation, where it had been stationed since 2004, to give soldiers a wider arrange of services than what were available at Gwangju.

Among improved quality-of-life benefits they gained on moving to Camp Carroll were better medical and dental services, improved vehicle-maintenance facilities, newly renovated barracks and a well-equipped gym, as well as the varied recreational opportunities of the Daegu-Busan region, U.S. military officials have said.1st Battalion, 44th Air Defense Artillery arrives at Camp Carroll
