Comments: I was a Sgt, assigned to a transportation port company
in Yokohama on arrival from the States in mid-June
1950. After the war broke out in Korea, almost everyone
in my company, plus several officers and NCOs from Hq
2nd Major Port, were attached to a provisional unit,
Transportation Port Company 8057th AU (Provisional). It
was a company but the CO was a LTC. The XO was a MAJ.
It 31 M/Sgts. CO was LTC Harlow O. Tubbs. We moved to
Pusan on or about 5 July. Initially, we were attached
to 24th Inf Div, the only higher hq in Korea at the
time. A few days later, we were attached to Pusan
Logistal Command (Provisional).

Later in July, we individuals attached to 8057th
Provisional were reassigned to newly organized
Transportation Company 8057th AU. Pusan Log Command
(Provisional) became 2nd Logistical Command. The 8057th
ran the Pusan port until 7th Transportation Major Port
arrived from the States (Fort Hamilton NY). Then the
8057th was assigned to 7th Port as augmentation to
their headquarters.

During the period that the US held a large part of
North Korea, several personnel from 7th Port and 8057th
were sent to Chinnampo, North Korea. They ran the port
there until they were run out by the Chinese.

I left Korea in December 1951. The 8057th was still in
Pusan at that time.
