Continued to look on the official coalition web site, but still unable to find anything there about the Zaytun. Did find a wikipedia article which seems to be pretty current: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zaytun_Division The wiki article provides links to an official web site, one for Korean and one for English. When clicking on the English one, I get a "500 internal server error" message with some explanatory computer code; however, it looks like the link to the official Korean web site is at least partly operational: http://www.zaytun.mil.kr/ I can't get it to open fully on my slow dialup, can see a picture opening (and changing over to others) at the top of the page. Beneath that, the rest finally came up for me as "page cannot be displayed", but maybe that's just because I'm not set up (since I'm unable) to read Korean. Maybe if one of you is interested and can get it to open, you can provide a synopsis. It's always interesting to compare what the Koreans say to each other, vs what they say to the US; hey that's the whole point of this blog, eh? Maybe it won't be difficult to translate into English vs translating into Australian. I’ve continued to search for an “official” web site for the ROK unit in Kurdistan.

Maybe some 19th ESC units, too. Without the Koreans there the Pentagon will have an easier time deploying another 2 ID brigade. Maybe some 19th ESC units, too.
