Nothing odd.  During those times general officer reassignments were 
generally made effective 1 July or 1 Jan.  (Don't know if this practice is 
still in place but may be.)  He had known of his new assignment for several 
months and decided to return to the US via one of the MSTS (Military Sea 
Transportation Service) ships and the one departing Inch'on of 24 June 1950 
was the only one in a two month time frame.

I don't have that information.
