K-Base Confusion

Comments: Greeting vets, I work in the USFK history office here at Yongsan Garrison in Seoul and putting the final touches on a study of the K-bases used during the Korean War. The largest piece missing out of this puzzle is the guidance on designating these bases. Based on context clues there didn't seem to be a logical polciy. Hangaru-ri wasn't a K-base and yet there is little evidence of Oesichon-Dong, K-32, being used. If you worked for any of the big guys and can offer some input I'd greatly appreciate it.
