ASA Veterans Korea 1950-76

Comments: I am the keeper of the email roster(s) for the Army Security Agency Veteran's Group organized in PA area during 1993. Began small now have over 300 members active. Also large data base of persons we are looking for. For thos non-ASA persons out there we were in support of every single unit during the Korean Wat in one form or another in the gathering of Signals Intelligence. We had numerous low level voice and electronic interecept sites, along with an equal number of Radio Direction Finding sites assigned most often to forward artillery unit areas. All of the above has been fairly well declassified and we can now tell our children (grand children actually at this late stage) when we are asked, "What did you do during the War Daddy?". I am interested in contacting mainly any ASA persons out there and it would be unique to speak with an of the members of units we supported.

K-16 ASA

Comments: Period of service in Korea (03/55 to 09/56) I am looking for anyone who served at K-16 during this period. Those who where ASA personel were there on TDY status. Some men were actually aircraft mechanics while others had various other covert assignments. I was TDY to various Army and Air Force bases during my tour. I doubt that I spent more than a week at our Yong Dung Po Hq, until I went "Figmo" in Sept 1956. Until recently I was even unaware that the outfit had changed it's name from Com/Rec to ASA group. Particularly looking for Raymond Box from Mass. or Bobby Hill from N.C. Also Dick Katakami from Hawaii, who was with KMAG and was the crew chief on "Siggy's L-23. I have an upcomming national BVA Hearing and I could use a little collaborative information. Especially about any short visits to our unfriendly northern neighbor or any knowledge of DMZ tunnels. Thanks!

501st Comms Recon Grp History

Comments: History: Constituted on 13 October 1950 in the Regular Army as HHC, 501st Communication Reconnaissance Group, the unit was activated on 20 October 1950 at Camp Pickett, Virginia, and assigned to the Army Security Agency. On 29 May 1951, the 501st Transferred from Camp Pickett to Camp Stoneman, California for staging to Pusan, Korea.

The 501st arrived at Pusan on 25 June 1951. The unit spent four days in the Pusan assembly area awaiting sea transportation to Inchon. The 501st arrived at Inchon on 1 July 1951. The Group Headquarters moved into the war damaged main building of the Kyonggi Middle School, Seoul, Korea. By 15 July, the 501st had assumed administrative and operational control of all ASA units in Korea.

The 501st Communications Reconnaissance Group represented a first of its kind and a milestone in intelligence support to U.S. tactical forces. The Korean War presented ASA with an opportunity to test its newly formed doctrine in support of a field Army. ASA activated the 501st to direct operations of ASA support units in the Korean Theater, coordinating all ASA activities at each of the lower echelons.

By the end of hostilities in July 1953, the Group had three battalions and five companies assigned. Besides the numerous citations awarded to its subordinate units, the Group received the Meritorious Unit Commendation (1 July 1951 to 27 July 1953), the Republic of Korea Presidential Unit Citation (15 July 1951 to 30 April 1953) and credit for participation in six campaigns.

On 28 January 1956, the 501st Communications Reconnaissance group was redesignated at HHC, 501st Army Security Group. On 1 July 1956, the 501st ASA group was inactivated and its personnel and mission transferred to the 508th USASA Group, a TDA organization, as part of a worldwide reorganization occurring within the Army Security Agency to provide greater flexibility in support to tactical units.
