No red link
editThis topic was on the list of articles requested for more than a year, but it turns out that no other article had a red link to it. - Dalbury 16:42, 1 November 2005 (UTC)
Taiwan
editShouldn't it be mentioned that the Republic of China (Nationalist China/Taiwan/Formosa) offered troops to the UNC under UNSC resolution 84 but was refused because their presence might have brought Red China (PRC/mainland China) into the conflict? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.91.64.163 (talk) 07:36, 20 September 2011 (UTC)
CINCUNC careers
editAnyone know where there's a definitive list of CINCUNC/USAFFE/USFK/EUSA commanders? I compiled this one from assorted biographical articles, and it was surprisingly difficult to find all these guys. Morinao 17:44, 10 May 2007 (UTC)

Combined Forces Command
editCurrently, searching ROK-US Combined Forces Command redirects to this page on United Nations Command. Although the Commander CFC is dual hatted as the Commander UNC, they have distinctly different roles, authorities and responsibilities. I am sure here is much more to warrant a separate page. Key items of interest:
- Why CFC was established distinct from UNC in 1978.
- Where CFC receives its strategic direction.
- Roles of UNC and CFC in conducting and supporting armistice maintenance.
- Armistice OPCON Transition in 1994.
- Agreement to transition Wartime OPCON transition to ROK JCS by 17 April 2012 and arguments for and against transition.
Additionally, I noted on this page that is lacks much detail:
- The 1950 Busan Letter where Syngman Rhee transfers Operational Command of ROK forces to UNC
- The 1983 UNC Terms Of Reference, an unclassified document that lays out UNC's authorities and responsibilities
Among others. I am interested and going to start here, but this is my first series of edits. I look forward to any input and interest. Gerswing (talk) 11:07, 18 April 2010 (UTC)

this article is factually inaccurate
editthere has been no formal and to the Korean war. there's been a long-standing ceasefire agreement between China and the United States that holds till this day 98.13.96.79 (talk) 15:40, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
- Where specifically in the article do you see a statement that there has been a formal end to the war? There is an Armistice Agreement, which ended open hostilities. Donald Albury 18:33, 13 April 2023 (UTC)
