ABSTRACT

Since the establishment of the Marine Corps of Republic of Korea, the locations of the HQ has been changed a lot and many units have created and expanded over the time, and they have been lost due to the adjustment of the organization. And new units were created, and existing units moved to new places. It is not easy to find the positions of the troops that were formed in the early days of the army due to such a large number of changes. It is because many places do not appear at the time of the formation of the unit. It is located on Jeju Island, which is the second station after the foundation, in front of Joil Pharmacy at Gwangdeok-ro. It is equipped with a marker that the Marine Corps HQ. is stationed on. However, the position and the position of the marker should be more thoroughly researched historically. Former Defense Minister Kim Seong-eun, who was Marine Corps Commander's Chief of Staff at the time, arrived at Jeju Island when the Marine Corps arrived at Jeju Island, where he visited the Battalion headquarters of the Army's 1st Independence Battalion, and received orders from Colonel Kim Yong-Ju And that he used the two-story wooden building used by the army. Because Jeju Island was the 1st Army Independent Battalion that was assigned to the 2nd Army Army. Thus, the Marines were taken over from the 1st Army Independent Battalion on December 28, 1949. At that time, the 1st Army Independent Battalion had a commanding post in the Jeju agricultural high school, where the 2nd Army Rgt. hq. was located, and the Marine Corps was stationed after the takeover of this area. There was a Marine Corps HQ. at 283 Samdo-ri (currently located at Jeju International Education Information Center), which was located in the Jeju agricultural High School at that time. Therefore, it should be installed at Jeju International Education Information Center, which is the location of the old Jeju agricultural high school where the Marine Corps HQ. was located since December 28, 1949. After the emergency martial law was declared on July 8, 1950, the Marine Corps HQ. was located in Gwandeokjeong. Also, the contents of marker should be corrected.
