We had a bunch of them Bob , they were called KSCs
Korean Service Command , they didn't carry any personal weapons . On two occasions when on relief , 
The FOs were on the hill 30 days 
then on relief 30 days . I was given 15 KSCs and a
6x and driver and sent back to cut timber for artillery positions on the Wyo. line . I would had rather been back on the MLR . That was a tough duty trying to keep track of all those KSCs .
