AB - ThestudyexaminestheammunitionsupplysystemoftheROK-US combined forces' artillery units during the Korean War, divided into two periods: before and after the US military support. Before the outbreak of the war and the arrival of UN forces, the South Korean military received ammunition upon the approval of the US Military Advisory Group, with quantities insufficient for full-scale warfare. Ammunitionsupplywasnotsystematized,andthespeedoftheNorth Korean advance depended largely on the efforts of the South Korean Army commanders to secure ammunition.
A systematic ammunition supply began to take shape with the US intervention and the establishment of the Busan Base Command. TheUSestablishedtheJapanLogisticCommand,utilizingtheJapanese mainland as a logistical support base and supplying ammunition to thewarehousesinBusanviaseaandairtransportation.Subsequently, the ammunition offloaded in Busan was transported to the battlefield using the existing railway system, and in areas where rail transport waslimited,thesupplywasmanagedviaroadtransportusingvehicles. As the war progressed, the ammunition supply system was fully developed, evolving from the Busan Base Command to the Busan Logistic Command and eventually to the 2nd Logistic Command. In the early stages of the war, when ammunition storage levels did notmeettherequiredstandards,emergencymeasuressuchasaerial transportanddailyCSRadjustmentswereimplementedforoperational support.
