Det 1, Inchon Replacement Depot (Pipeline) 8057th AU
Used to cover reassignment of 8112th to 8157th
8157th Army Unit AFFE Air Delivery and Communications
02 Jan 55 - Organized at Inchon
One report is that the Detachment had already been organized and that the personnel from 8112 were reassigned to it. I have not yet found an earlier assignment. Also I had discussion about 8157th Inchon Boat Detachment, but I can't seem to place this as other than a special project.
?

Can you identify the Projects/Operations run by the various reorganizations of these people. It appears to start out as a purely staff organization, perhaps having some oversight of some or all Aviary projects. Only after the Truce does it seem to get into direct operations?

Most From and To Dates are guesstimates. I need info on 1950 enlisted MOS codes. I have not yet posted multiple assignments from one of the major groups to the other. Reassignment between the 8007/8112/8157 should be inferred from the dates shown.
