OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- Thousands
of augmentees and service members from
across the globe are making their way back to their
home stations, thanks to their combined hard work
and participation in Exercise Ulchi Freedom Guardian
2011 -- those stationed here return to day-to-day
operations now that one of the largest peninsulawide
exercises finishes.
UFG, the annual computer-simulated, U.S. Combined
Forces Command defense-oriented exercise
involving more than 530,000 ROK, U.S., and other
nations, ended Aug. 26 after 10 days of simulated
conflict. Designed to improve the Alliance’s ability
to defend the ROK, UFG ‘11 exercised senior
leaders’ decision-making capabilities, trained commanders
and staff on planning, command and control
operations, intelligence, logistics and personnel
procedures.
“We’ve wrapped up another year of successful
training and planning,” said Lt. Gen. Jeffrey A.
Remington, Combined Air Component Commander
and 7th Air Force Commander.

By Lt. Col. Jeff Valenzia
51st Operations Support Squadron
Commander
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of
Korea -- A common question heard in
the Newcomer’s Briefing is “why after
nearly 60 years is the U.S. still in Korea?”
This is a straight-forward question
and one that deserves a straight-forward
answer--stability.
The simple truth is that the presence
of the United States in South Korea stabilizes
Asia-which in turn has allowed
for a healthy and profitable relationship
between the U.S., South Korea, China
and Japan.
The United States provides stability
by maintaining a robust military presence
within South Korea and spending
its time readying itself for war. This is
done through a strategy of deterrence;
essentially threatening war in order to
avoid war. The problem with a strategy
of deterrence is it’s a subtle and very
political strategy and one never really
knows if it’s working until it fails.
A strategy of deterrence has three
key attributes with a single punch line.
Those key attributes are summarized as
the three C’s: Communicated, Capable
and Credible. The punch line is that we,
the U.S./ROK Alliance, theoretically, do
not choose when to go to war; it is the
North Koreans choice by giving them
what is called the last right of refusal.
The first attribute within a strategy
of deterrence is that war, in response to
an adversary’s action, must be clearly
communicated to the adversary before
the action takes place. This is a fairly
simple principle as we first draw a line
in the sand and then inform the adversary
of the consequences should they
chose to cross that line.
It is important to understand that the
communication of a deterrence strategy
is normally accomplished through political
dialogue at the highest levels of
government, not at the fighter wing or
the numbered air force levels.
One of the challenges within a strat-
egy of deterrence is the politicians purposefully
create an environment where
the line in the sand and consequences
are unclear, in other words, they create
strategic ambiguity.
Strategic ambiguity is intentional as
it provides politicians options in how
they respond to an adversary’s provocative
action and are not committed
to war. This makes the overall strategy
more difficult, however, by removing
the predictability we within the military
rely on in making our war plans.
It is for this reason you will often
hear that a plan is simply a point from
which to depart. Although frustrating,
this is a deliberate design within the
strategy and we in the military must remember
that we are but an extension of
politics.
The second attribute within a strategy
of deterrence is to possess the capability
to militarily defeat the North Koreans.
This is done by positioning our military
forces within the Korean theater and
preparing our forces for war. It is this
attribute within our strategy that is the
rationale for our many exercises and the
reason we often find ourselves hosting
additional assets within the theater.
The final attribute, credibility, comes
from the likelihood that we would follow
through on our threat of war based
on a North Korean action. This is where
the punishment must fit the crime. For
example, threatening a nuclear response
to a dispute within the northern islands
is not a credible strategy of deterrence.
Credibility does not end with ensuring
the punishment fits the crime, however.
Credibility also comes from our
tolerance of small, provocative actions
which do not necessarily justify war.
This incremental approach, known as a
salami tactic, is an interesting dynamic
within the strategy as it turns the idea of
last right of refusal on its head.
Salami tactics, a term used by
Thomas Schelling in his writings about
military deterrence, is the act of taking
small, incremental actions in order to
assert your will over your adversary.
These low-level actions create an ambiguous
environment where you eventually
achieve your objective by taking
it one slice at a time.
To be successful, you must avoid any
single action that is likely to spur war
by remaining below what you think is
your adversary’s threshold for war.
The North Koreans deviously employed
salami tactics through the sinking
of the South Korean Cheonan naval
vessel, killing 104 Sailors on March 26,
2010, and the shelling of Yeonpyeong-
Do Island, killing four South Koreans
on Nov. 23, 2010. These events offer a
stark reminder that we are engaged actively
with an enemy determined to assert
its influence within the region.
The challenge with salami tactics is it
stands in the face of last right of refusal.
Remember, the last right of refusal
places the burden of choosing war on
the adversary. In the case of salami tactics
the roles are reversed and the burden
to choose war over peace becomes
the U.S./ROK alliance’s choice as the
deterring force.
The simple truth is that the presence
of the United States within South Korea
creates a stable and secure environment
through a strategy of deterrence.
As a result, the world is witnessing the
rise of South Korea within the international
financial market through their advancements
in technology, automobiles,
world-class medical research and internationally
credible universities. This security
in turn stabilizes Asia and allows
for a healthy and profitable relationship
between the U.S., South Korea, China
and Japan.
In practice, a strategy of deterrence
is very complex and challenged with
many strategic and political ambiguities.
Therefore, the next time you hear
“Alarm Blue, MOPP 4” keep in perspective
how your preparedness for war
and ability to navigate these strategic
challenges has successfully avoided
war, promoted the economic growth
and fostered a strong ROK/U.S. alliance
for more than 60 years.

How can you make your positive mark on Osan?
By Col. Keith McBride
51st Operations Group Commander
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea
-- Here are some of the age-old guidance
and mentoring phrases often passed
onto people arriving at a new assignment:
“Bloom where you’re planted,” “never
walk past a problem,” “fresh set of eyes,”
“leave this a better place than when you
arrived.”
How can we do this in a place with
enormous turnover every month, challenges
of limited financial resources, and
a local culture and economy radically different
from the one to which we are accustomed?
Our advantage is our strength in numbers.
We, the Osan community, number
over 9,000. If we all positively affected
one thing that we thought would make
Osan a better place, 9,000 things a year
would improve. That is amazing potential!
So, how do 9,000 of us make our positive
mark at Osan? First we individually
have to pick one thing to fix. Then make
a plan, and determine the resources or
authorities required to make it happen.
Track your progress, and along the way,
communicate what you are doing.
You’ll probably be surprised by the unexpected
help and encouragement you’ll
get, and before you know it, the tour will
be over and we will have left Osan “better
than when we arrived.”
Pick one thing to fix. It needs to be
something personal to us and within our
ability to affect. The best time to pick
that one thing to make better is after two
weeks on station.
After a couple months, you’ve probably
already started to fall into the “that’s
the way it’s done here at Osan” mentality.
After two weeks here as the 51st Operations
Group Commander, I picked the
A-10 and F-16 simulator capability on
Osan as the one thing I will work to improve
during my time here.
It is personal to me because I train in
the simulators, and as Mustang 3, I’m the
guy who’s ultimately responsible for the
pilot’s training and readiness. The 51st
Operations Group needs high fidelity
flight simulator to practice responding
to emergency checklists and our wartime
missions in a full-up, opposed environment.
Therefore, it’s important to me that
I positively affect this capability prior to
my next PCS.
Make a plan. Write it down. I’ve set
“fixing the flight simulators” as my #1
priority and wrote out what I think can
be accomplished during the time I have
remaining. I’ve identified milestones
between now and the completion of this
project. I’ve picked a large “thing to fix”
and so my plan is more detailed than required
by most.
A simpler but equally ambitious example
of an Osan project is that of a dependent
spouse I know, who is determined to
“fix” the recycle bin/collection near onbase
housing.
Get resourced and empowered to do
it. The recycle bin project started with
someone asking why there was two trash
dumpsters where there was supposed to
be one trash and one recycle bin. Neighbors
that had been at Osan for some
months responded “that’s the way it’s always
been, we don’t recycle here.”
A few phone calls by the spouse revealed
the agency that managed the recycle
program and they made plans to remedy
the situation with the contractor over
the next few weeks. In this case no extra
resources were required and empowerment
came from asking some questions
and determining who could affect the
change.
However, at last check, there are still
two trash dumpsters, so the project isn’t
done yet and leads to our next step.
Track your progress. Follow-up with
the coordinated agencies, update your
plan and celebrate your milestone accomplishments.
I’ll bet the recycle bins
take more than a few follow-up phone
calls and communication with the neighbors
before the recycle program is back
on track.
Communicate your intention, progress
and success. We should tell lots of folks
about our plans to make improvements
at Osan. Help comes from unexpected

sources and sharing our plans puts a little
pressure on you to follow-though. It is
rare that a problem on base is completely
unique to Osan.
More than likely, someone can share a
similar “fix” effort experience or put us in
contact with someone working a related
project in another workplace or Air Base.
Reporting progress and successes will
lead to more support. We all want to be
associated with a winning plan and successful
change.
Be proud of your accomplishment and
set the expectation of constant improvement
for the next group to arrive. Osan
needs constant positive change to improve
our warfighting capabilities and
vibrant quality of life.
We cannot accept the status quo during
our short tours here. We need to constantly
improve our processes to incorporate
the latest technology and techniques and
personal quality of life needs.
So share your stories: how you fixed
that annoying process, how your coworker
improved the on-duty environment
or dorm life -- how we left our mark
on Osan.
Supervisors, leaders, parents and
friends, grab the opportunity to help the
people around us reach their goal. The
power of numbers is our advantage here
at Osan. Lots of us making small improvements
in areas that personally affect
our lives will make Osan a better place
for the people who follow next year.
The 51st FW commander states in his
welcoming briefs, “the current conditions
here at Osan are on the shoulders of
our predecessors.” Let’s make it a better
place for the next group of folks.

Top Air Force financial advisor pays visit to Osan
By Senior Master Sgt. Stuart
Camp
51st Fighter Wing Public Affairs
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea
-- The Air Force’s top financial advisor
visited Osan and the 51st Comptroller
Squadron Aug. 18-21.
Jamie Morin, assistant secretary of the
Air Force for financial management and
comptroller, saw living, working and operational
environments unique to Korea
during an 11-day tour through far eastern
Pacific Air Forces bases.
“It’s a good opportunity to meet some
great people,” Morin said. “I’ve gotten a
deep appreciation for the work they do
and the dedication to duty on a remote
tour.”
While eating breakfast with comptroller
squadron Airmen and local resource
advisors, Morin addressed Air Force-level
programs and future plans to improve
finance operations.

Osan trains to adopt upcoming Air Force logistics ECSS
51st Fighter Wing Public Affairs
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea
-- Osan leaders get their first taste of
the Expeditionary Combat Support System,
an upcoming Air Force-wide logistics
management tool, during a Pacific
Air Forces ECSS introductory briefing
Sept. 14.
ECSS is a major initiative to better
support the warfighter by transforming
the way the Air Force performs its logistics
business.
It’s expected to replace multiple logistics
programs found at each base
with one enterprise-wide system. The
program isn’t scheduled to go live until
February 2013, but Maj. Ryan Bakazan,
51st Logistics Readiness Squadron
commander said it’s never too early to
be prepared.
“While it will be years before ECSS
reaches full operational capability, the
implementation process is already underway,”
he said.
quoted a D.C.-based strategist.
“Strategy wears a dollar sign,” Morin
said. “The Secretary (of the Air Force)
and Chief of Staff look to me to advise
them on budget decisions, out-year planning
and understanding the resource
tradeoffs.”
Overseeing the Air Force’s $119 billion
allocation from Congress, he touched
on the presidential budget-cut proposal
and ramifications on the Air Force.
“We’ve got a lot of important challenges
headed our way,” the assistant
secretary said. “Every year (the budget)
gets squeezed more with day-to-day operations
taking up more of the overall Air
Force budget.”
One of the cost-saving suggestions in
national headlines is changing the military
retirement system.
“There are a lot of ideas out there. Not
one has been selected,” Morin said. “The
fundamental principle is to produce an
overall system that treats people properly
and fairly.”
Before visiting Osan, Morin toured
Kunsan. Before leaving the Korean peninsula,
the assistant secretary travelled
to the Demilitarized Zone with Maj. Michael
Tatum, 51st CPTS commander, and
This change won’t be easy because
many old processes will either dramatically
change or completely disappear,
Bakazan said. In order for this to succeed
everyone who performs Air Force
logistics processes across all functional
communities must personally engage,
and fully accept the transformation.
“Two primary goals of eLog21 are
to increase equipment availability to
match aircraft availability targets and
reduce annual operations & support
costs by 10 percent,” he said.
This new system will be the cornerstone
enabler of the wider logistics
transformation effort, Bakazan said.
And this change won’t only affect LRS
but all unit vehicle control officers and
equipment custodians as well.
Using an Enterprise Resource Planning
software solution, ECSS applies
best commercial practices and uses industry-proven
tools to establish the Air
Force’s first capability to globally view
and manage its logistics resources.

“ECSS is more than a web-based
information technology system. It will
change business processes, personnel
roles and jobs across the Air Force logistics
community,” Bakazan said. “Locally,
it will drive dramatic changes
and improvements to everything LRS
does.”
For example, today Air Force logisticians
rely mainly on hard-copy forms
and enter data into multiple base-level
systems. This labor-intensive effort will
be replaced by entering data once into
one on-line system.
When fully implemented, ECSS will
replace hundreds of logistics information
systems and will be the single
source for logistics information.
“ECSS will drive changes in the way
we do business,” Bakazan said. “The result
will be an Air Force enterprise better
enabled to provide its warfighters the
right materiel at the right time.”
The result: A standardized system and

time it takes to process information, improves
the quality of information, and
significantly reduces the costs of accomplishing
the mission.
To help those who navigate these
changes, the ECSS program will provide
education and training for future
users of the system.
An Air Force-wide change agent network,
supported by an ECSS program
team, will share information on ECSS
activities, schedules, lessons learned,
and conduct local problem-solving
meetings to help smooth implementation
at each installation. This same network
will support the sustainment of
ECSS after fielding is completed.
“As with any new endeavor there will
be hurdles to overcome. But given the
improvements ECSS brings to the table,
it is an effort well worth it,” he said.

From page 1, ENDEX: UFG ‘11 EXERCISE FINISHES WITH SUCCESS; ‘77 AFA GRAD HELPS LEAD WAY
“I am proud of the hard work and effort our servicemembers
and Korean allies have put forth.”
Throughout UFG, players engaged in a simulated
conflict that exercised the Alliance’s abilities to handle
any event or action regarding current and future
threats to the region. They played out a number of
realistic scenarios extending beyond defeating a conventional
military attack.
“This was a great opportunity to work with ROKAF
and see the importance of the combined and joint operation
environment,” said Senior Master Sgt. Donna
Davis, a UFG augmentee stationed at Joint Base Pearl
Harbor-Hickam. During the exercise, Davis acted as
the transportation representative at the Combined Air
Logistics Center.
Just because the exercise is over, doesn’t mean the
planning and playing ceases until next year.
“As soon as we finish up one exercise, we begin
plans for next year’s,” said Col. Pat Matthews, 7th Air
Force Director of Programs, Plans and Analyses. Matthews
and his team produce and manage all exercise
simulations at the Korea Air Simulations Center, here.
These simulations are the basis for the entire exercise
and allow for a tough and realistic training environment
essential for preparation for any potential
conflicts.
“We will take lessons learned from UFG 2011
and put them to use for UFG 2012,” explained Gen.
Remington. “We are always innovating and adapting,
ready to get our mission done anytime, anywhere.”
Lt. Gen. Lee, Yeong Man, Republic of Korea Air
Force Operations Command Commander, echoed
those sentiments about UFG ‘11’s success. “The Air
Component Command has shown its full effort to
maintain the world’s best combined forces, and also
strengthen the ROK-U.S. friendship.”
UFG highlights the longstanding and enduring
partnership and friendship between both nations and
their combined commitment to the defense of the
ROK while ensuring peace and security in the region.
The exercise is conducted at CFC and ROK military
installations throughout Korea; and is connected by
communications networks, extending to U.S. military
headquarters around the world.

Kunsan Wraith wins Air Force IDEA check
By Senior Airman Benjamin
Stratton
8th Fighter Wing Public Affairs
KUNSAN AIR BASE, Republic of
Korea -- A Wraith from the 8th Logistics
Readiness Squadron’s vehicle management
flight was awarded an Air Force
IDEA program cash award of $1,875
here Aug. 30 for implementing a new
process to save the Air Force money and
increase the mission-capable rates for all
vehicles on base.
His idea was to add a tire rotation
plan to the scheduled maintenance of
vehicles.
“Our current method to rotating tires
is to just fix them when they need replaced,”
said Senior Airman Jason Devore,
8th LRS vehicle management.
“This is not the most efficient method, as
most our vehicles make more turns than
they do going straight effectively wearing
down the tread unevenly.”
Devore’s idea is estimated to save the
8th Fighter Wing and Air Force more
than $12,000 annually.
“I’m very happy a Wolf Pack member
received a cash reward through the AF
IDEA Program,” said Nanhui Kang, 8th
Force Support Squadron base IDEA program
manager and manpower analyst.
“Submitting an idea means a diligence
to me, giving a little more concern and
interest about our job’s surroundings to
make it better.”
And making it better is just what Devore
did, taking a program costing the
Air Force more than $31,000 annually
and cutting it nearly in half to approximately
$19,000 budget. In an ever-slimming
Air Force, where funds aren’t as
commonplace as they were in years past,
Devore stepped up and proved his worth.
“The Air Force encourages innovative
thinking in doing the AF mission better,
faster, cheaper and smarter,” Kang said.
“Sometimes changes are painful, but
with an open mind, if the new method is
better, be flexible and accept it.”
Group leadership has said vehicle
management runs an excellent program,
but Devore saw an area he could
improve during his year tenure here at
Kunsan and submitted an idea.
“What inspired my idea was the fact
that multiple vehicles were sitting unusable
for problems that could have been
prevented with the proper program,” Devore
said. “This is especially true during
a time when the vehicle management
flight had limited to no funds for even
the smallest repairs.”
Even though Devore is a junior enlisted
member, his voice was heard by the
Air Force and he received a cash award
for speaking up and submitting his idea.
“I like the fact that the AF IDEA Program
facilitates people whose voices

may not always be heard,” he said. “It
allows them to voice their opinions and
ideas through a different channel to possibly
see if their idea can get heard and
implemented.”
It worked for Devore, it could work
for other members of the Wolf Pack.
Kang said if other Kunsan Airmen are
interested in making a few dollars and
improving Air Force operations along
the way, they should visit the IDEA Program

CE focuses on Osan parks, recreation areas
By Tech. Sgt. Eric Petosky
51st Fighter Wing Public Affairs
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- In response
to concerns voiced during a town hall meeting
Aug. 10, the 51st Civil Engineer Squadron is focusing
attention on improving three parks and recreation
areas here.
The playgrounds near the old Mustang Valley Village
and Hallasan tower, as well as the recreation
area near the base softball fields, are the three areas
of concern.
The Mustang Valley Village playground renovation
is the largest project. The playground was closed
during the demolition of the buildings surrounding it
and was not maintained. The demolition contractors
returned the area to the base Aug. 10.
According to Maj. Wayne Kinsel, 51st CES
Programs Flight commander, engineers drafted a
$145,000 plan to install a new playground, swings,
rubber matting, fencing and drainage. The basketball
court will also be repaired and repainted as part of
the plan.
The plan is included on the 51st Fighter Wing Integrated
Priority List for unfunded projects and must
compete with other base requirements. Currently,
there is no start date for the Mustang Valley Village
playground renovation.
Contractors will begin installation of better drainage
infrastructure and rubber matting on the surface
of the Hallasan Tower playground Sept. 19, and work
should be completed by Oct. 7. Presently, the playground
sits on grass, which turns into mud quickly
during the rainy season. Rubber matting allows families
to use the playground without the mess.
The recreation area near the softball fields has
been cleared of insects by the 51st CES entomology
team, according to Maj. Gary Moore, 51st CES Operations
Flight commander. Entomology Airmen will
continue to assess this area on a weekly basis to prevent
insect infestations in the future.
While these initiatives are in response to town hall
meeting concerns, base residents can call CE Customer
Service at 784-6226 to report infrastructure
related issues.

His extensive maintenance knowledge
and outstanding leadership isolated
the malfunction to a faulty carbon seal.
Left undetected, this leak would have led
to certain catastrophe. The removal and

Mustang Spiritual Charge
By Chaplain, Capt Peter C. Ma
As a Chaplain, I get to meet many
young couples who have decided to get
married. They come for pre-marital
counseling and for some of them I even
have the honor of officiating their wedding.
They come from different backgrounds
and have different stories of
how they met and fell in love, but they
all share this in common - they are madly
in love and cannot live without the
Make Love Last
other, so they have decided to commit
themselves to a life time of partnership
by exchanging a vow of marriage.
On the other hand, I also counsel
many married couples whose marriages
are in trouble. Sadly, some of them are
on the verge of getting a divorce. I have
no doubt that these couples started out
just like those young couples--madly in
love. They were certain that they have
met the man or woman of their dreams,
their life-long mate. However, the statistics
tell us that more than 40% of marriages
in America end up in a divorce
and the rate is much higher for second
and third marriages. Some studies have
shown that almost three-fourths of third
marriages do not last.
What happened to them? Why do
couples who were so happy together and
could not live apart come to the point
where they decide that they must go
their separate ways? How can married
couples make their love last and avoid
the pain of going through a divorce?
One mistake many young couples
make is basing their relationship solely
on that euphoric feeling of being in
love. Psychologists maintain that the
dizzying feeling of intense romantic
love lasts only about 18 months to three
years. During this period there is a big
drop in the level of the hormones responsible
for infatuation and passionate
love and “that lovin’ feeling” is diminished
dramatically. Unfortunately, they
believe that this has happened because
they did not marry the right person and
begin their new search for the true soul
mate.
True love is not just a feeling or an
emotion. It is keeping the commitment
you made to have and to hold, for better,
for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness
or in health. As Airmen we believe
in Integrity First, Service Before Self,
and Excellence in all we do. It is being
truthful, faithful, and honest before
yourself and others. When you said “I
do,” you (hopefully) did not mean “I do
until my dizzying, romantic feeling for
you disappears.” The vow you made
was to be there for your spouse until the
day one of you dies. You promised to
cherish, support, encourage, forgive and
care for him or her through all circumstances.
Love is what you do, even when
you don’t feel like it. Loving this way
takes much sacrifice and forgiveness
from both parties. It involves accepting
the other person the way he or she is.
It requires accepting the imperfections
and forgiving the mistakes knowing
that you are also imperfect and you also
make mistakes. There is always a part
on both sides. It takes two to tango and
two to “tangle.”
Falling in love is easy, it just happens.
Staying in love takes much effort,
but if you’re committed to make love
last, there are many ways to learn the
tools that will help your relationship.
One way is the Marriage/Relationship
Enrichment Dinner and Seminar that the
Osan Chapel will offer in October, free
of charge. Is the effort worth it? I say
yes! The reward of having a lifelong
partner is one of life’s most precious
blessings. Do you know any couples
who have been married for many decades?
They still care for each other,
even knowing each other’s shortcomings
for they have learned to forgive and
have stayed together through the thick
and thin. If you ask me, that is true romantic
love!

A day in history: Sept. 15, 1950 The Inchon Landing
By Howard E. “Hooch”
Halvorsen
7th Air Force Historian
In the previous issue of the Crimson
Sky, we discussed where both sides
stood at the end of August, 1950 in the
Korean War. The Republic of Korea
Army and the United States military
faced the Democratic People’s Republic
of Korea Army on either side of the Naktong
River. The United Nation’s allies
were in the southeast corner of the Korean
peninsula in a pocket called the Pusan
Perimeter. The North Koreans had invaded
on June 25, 1950 and had almost
won a complete victory, nearly driving
their foes into the sea. In the beginning
of September they were making a final
general attack to burst through despite
a lack of all manner of supply denied
them by United States Air Force strategic
bombing. The ROKs and the American
Eighth Army under the command of
Lieutenant General Walton Walker had
been pushed to their limits, also. Green
American troops had been sent into battle
piecemeal by General MacArthur to
fight with their ROK allies, both poorly
armed, against a determined communist
foe whose ranks were well-armed and
well-leavened with battle veterans who
had fought in the Chinese Civil War.
Which side would hold out? Which side
would win the miraculous victory?
Kim Il Sung, the North Korean leader
in September 1950, knew his soldiers
were at the end of their supply lines and
that his troops were exhausted, underfed,
and lacking in ammunition. However,
their invasion had been filled with
nothing but victory after victory and
since the end was so close they pressed
on for the win. While the United Nations
Command supreme commander,
General Douglas MacArthur, was devising
his own solution, the Eighth Army
commander on the ground in Korea,
Lt. Gen. Walker, thought he also knew
what needed to be done. The newsmen
called Walker “Bulldog” but his friends
called him “Johnny.” He was a disciple
of General George Patton, who called
him “a fighting son of a bitch.” Walker
rarely swore, didn’t smoke and would
take only an occasional drink - he had
none of Patton’s flare or ego. He did inherit
some of Patton’s ability to adapt
and overcome the greatest challenges.
For instance, there was a great problem
created by having only two battalions
in each infantry regiment when Army
doctrine was based on a triangular organization.
Walker drew upon knowledge
hard-won in World War II and taught
a technique establishing hard points in
depth using integrated firepower to cover
areas in between them. However, in
Walker’s mind, he knew and taught his
senior leaders they must focus on where
rather than how to defeat the enemy; especially
true in the Korean terrain. Location
would be the key. MacArthur, other
Army generals, the Navy, the Marines,
the Joint Chiefs of Staff all thought the
situation ripe for an amphibious assault
to defeat the communists. The disagreement
was where this should be done.
From the outset, the Navy, the Marines,
and the Joint Chiefs of Staff opposed
MacArthur’s plan to assault Inchon.
It was a quixotic project, doomed
to disaster. The channel to Inchon’s harbor
was narrow, treacherous, and easy
to mine. Most of the time it was a vast,
mucky mud flat. The anchorage was
small and the harbor was surrounded by
tall seawalls. When briefing the JCS and
others, MacArthur thought the brashness
of the plan would be an asset. He
said that because the majority of North
Korean forces were south near Taejon,
the enemy would not expect an attack as
far north as Inchon. MacArthur brushed
aside the Navy argument and stated, “My
confidence in the Navy is complete, and
in fact, I seem to have more confidence
in the Navy than the Navy has in itself.”
Besides, MacArthur thought victory at
Inchon would avoid a brutal winter campaign
and that, by invading a northern
strong point, the U.N. forces could cut
off North Korean lines of supply and
communication. Lastly, Inchon was very
near the capitol of the Republic of Korea,
Seoul. As early as the 29th of June MacArthur
had started to envision this plan
and he would not be proved wrong.
Walker and others thought the assault
should be at Kunsan. He knew that Navy
commanders saw horrendous problems
in negotiating the treacherous sea approaches
to Inchon. The tides, over 30
feet, were the highest in the world. The
only date for a landing would be September
15 when the morning high tide
would be best for an invasion; a fact the
Gen. Patton with Lt. Gen. Walker (courtesy photo)
Gen. Mac Arthur during Inchon landing (courtesy photo)
North Koreans must surely know, Walker
thought. September 15 was also in the
middle of typhoon season in the region.
In fact, Typhoon Kezia nearly ruined the
invasion. Yet none of that mattered; were
the situations reversed between Inchon
and Kunsan all that mattered was where
to defeat the enemy, not how. MacArthur
and his staff had made opposing Inchon
was tantamount to opposing any amphibious
operation. Thus, to the uninitiated,
this routine action would be seen as a
stroke of genius. The greater difference
was over the purpose and objective of
envelopment. Patton had taught Walker
his views:
“…they make the mistake of becoming
so engrossed in their own plans they
forget about the enemy. The best results
are attained when the envelopment arrives
in or just back of the enemy’s artillery
positions. Here you disrupt his supply
and signal communications and his
guns, and are close enough to the troops
advancing along the axis to be sure of
making contact in a reasonable time.”
American veterans of World War II
worried about another Falaise Gap fiasco.
The landing would be over one hundred
miles away from the front, giving
the enemy time to oppose and escape.
The act of seizing Seoul was a political
one only and the situation on the ground
had changed greatly since June.
Who was right? MacArthur’s argument
won out mainly on his reputation
and his incredible skills in presenting
his vision. He had an aura about him
of greatness that others lacked. And the
amphibious assault did work; the Navy,
the Marines, and the Joint Chiefs of Staff
were wrong in thinking it impossible.
Lt. Gen. Walker (courtesy photo)
Gen. Mac Arthur with Lt. Gen. Walker (courtesy photo)
Despite the great difficulties our troops
did very well. They invaded hundreds
of miles above enemy lines and restored
the capitol of South Korea in a matter of
days. In addition, they were able to cut
off the beleaguered supply lines of the
North Koreans even more than before
causing a great retreat among the communists.
The victory was perceived as so
great the troops were ordered to advance
beyond the 38th parallel and on to restore
freedom for all Koreans all the way to the
border of China. MacArthur had pledged
that China would not dare enter the war.
The CIA agreed. As you know from history,
China had other ideas.
Again, who was right? The communist
enemy did have time to oppose and
escape as best as they could. Opponents
say MacArthur viewed Korea like another
island invasion like in WWII; attack
and take the capitol and victory is yours.
MacArthur seems to have succeeded at
first. But what would have happened if
Walker’s plan had been used? The now
overmatched, unfed, exhausted, and out
of ammunition North Korean troops
would have had a strong enemy immediately
at every side. Probably, they would
have either dissolved or surrendered – or
both. The war might have ended there.
The North Korean Army would have
ceased to exist. China would have no reason
to invade. The peninsula might not
still be divided. But these are all “might
have beens.” We don’t know what would
have happened. What remains? The
political-military situation we have inherited
and knowledge of the bravery of
who stood before us. This we must match
today and every day to keep the peace or
win the fight when it comes.

By Tech. Sgt. Chad Thompson
51st Fighter Wing Public Affairs
OSAN AIR BASE, Republic of Korea -- I
wouldn’t say I’m an expert at sports or even come
close to saying I’m a professional at anything, but I
have played and enjoyed watching just about every
sport out there.
I’d say I’m a sports enthusiast who has never had
the patience to stick to one thing and truly be the best
at it. I have been playing golf for about 24 years, and
I still haven’t mastered that, but there is hope that I
will have the chance after retirement.
I feel compelled to give you a little background
on myself because I don’t want you to think I don’t
know what I’m talking about when it comes to
sports. I can hear it now, “What gives this guy the
right to write a sports column?” I like sports, and I
like to write, so I decided to give it a shot.
My first area of focus is on this year’s men’s base
basketball team. I went and watched some of the tryouts
Aug. 27, and I see some serious potential in the
team.
They are a bit small but surely don’t lack heart.
Even for a tryout you could see these guys giving it
their all...or maybe they were just trying to impress
the coach.
Nonetheless, these guys have some solid starters,
and after they dust the cobwebs off their basketball
shoes I think they will be competitive this year.
I did notice they have some work to do on their
passing. All the great teams are selfless. Sure the
Kobe’s and LeBron’s can get away being a little
selfish from time to time, but that’s why they’re
getting paid. In competitive basketball you have to
have crisp, solid passing and trust your teammates,
which is something that takes time to develop with
the right group of players.
Something else I saw Saturday was the coaches
running these guys through basic team building; it
was the old run-them-until-they-can’t-run-anymoreand-then-run-some-more
tactic.
This is common for a pre-season practice, because
it not only works their cardio but also gives
them what it takes to dig deep during a game - to see
what they are made of. When you reach that point
where you can barely lift your legs and need to make
a free-throw it is important to be able to find that
muscle memory in order to sink the basket with your
eyes closed. I’m not going to lie, I was never a fan of
the running, but it’s a must.
As for having fortitude and drive, heart will get
a person far in a game like basketball. That’s what I
heard from my coaches a lot growing up -- “You’ve
got a lot of heart.” In my mind it sometimes translated
to, “You suck, stay on the bench.” But that made
me work harder than everyone else. I went from the
freshman who never played to the sophomore who
never sat on the bench. I lived, slept and ate basketball
for breakfast, lunch and dinner.
So keep working hard Mustangs! I look forward
to catching the home opener here on the ROK.

Chuseok – Korean Thanksgiving Day
Korean Tourism Organization
Chuseok is by far the biggest and most
important holiday in Korea. It is a time
when family members from near and far
come together to share food and stories
and to give thanks to their ancestors for
the abundant harvest.
This year, this representative Korean
holiday falls on September 22nd (of the
solar calendar), but holiday celebrations
run for three days, from September 21st
- 23rd. For internationals located in the
major cities, Chuseok is the prime opportunity
to go sightseeing, since many
native Koreans return to their hometowns
in the countryside, leaving the city attractions
relatively crowd-free.
Let’s take a closer look at what
Chuseok means and what it represents to
Koreans everywhere.
Chuseok (Hangawi)
Chuseok is one of Korea’s three major
holidays, along with Seollal (New Year’s
Day) and Dano (the 5th day of the 5th
month of the year according to the lunar
calendar) and is also referred to as Hangawi,
which means the ides of August
(August 15th according to the lunar calendar).
Hangawi/Chuseok was the day on
which Koreans, an agrarian people
throughout most of history, thanked
their ancestors for the year’s harvest
and shared their abundance with family
and friends. Although the exact origin of
Chuseok is unclear, the tradition can be
traced back to ancient religious practices
that centered around the significance of
the moon. The sun’s presence was considered
routine, but the full moon that
came once a month, brightening the
dark night, was considered a special and
meaningful event. Therefore, festivities
took place on the day of the largest full
moon, August 15th of the lunar calendar,
which became one of the most important
days of celebration throughout Korea to
this day.
Chuseok Customs
On the morning of Chuseok Day,
Songpyeon (a type of Korean rice cake)
and food prepared with the year’s fresh
harvest are set out to give thanks to ancestors
through Charye (ancestor memorial
service). After Charye, families visit
their ancestors’ graves and engage in
Beolcho, the ritual clearing of the weeds
that may have grown up over the burial
mound. After dusk, families and friends
take walks and gaze at the beauty of the
full harvest moon or play folk games
such as Ganggangsullae (Korean circle
dance).
-Charye (ancestor memorial services)
On Chuseok morning, family members
gather at their homes to hold memorial
services (called Charye) in honor of
their ancestors. Formal Charye services
are held twice a year during Seollal (New
Year’s Day) and Chuseok. The difference
between the two services is that during
Seollal the major representative food is
white Tteokguk, a rice cake soup, while
during Chuseok the major representative
food is freshly harvested rice. After the
service, the family members sit down together
at the table to enjoy delicious food
that symbolizes their blessings.
- Beolcho (clearing the weeds around
the grave) and Seongmyo (visiting ancestral
graves)
Visiting ancestral graves during
Chuseok is known as Seongmyo and during
this visit, family members remove the
weeds that have grown around the graves
in the summer season. Taking care of the
ancestral graves and clearing the weeds
is called Beolcho. This custom is considered
a duty and expression of devotion
and respect for one’s family. On the
weekends, about one month prior to the
Chuseok holidays, Korea’s highways become
extremely congested with families
visiting their ancestral graves to fulfill
their familial duties. The graves are then
visited again during Chuseok.
- Ssireum (Korean wrestling)
Traditionally, during the Chuseok holidays
the strongest people in each village
would gather together to hold wrestling
competitions. During the match, two
competitors would face each other in a
circular sandpit and were surrounded on
all sides by spectators. The last wrestler
standing after the series of competitions
was considered the winner and was acknowledged
as the villager’s strongest
man, taking home cotton, rice, or a calf as
his prize. Today, Ssireum (Korean wres-
tling) competitions are held around the
time of Chuseok to determine the strongest
man in Korea, but are not as big a
part of the celebrations as they once were.
- Ganggangsullae (Korean circle
dance)
Back in the olden days, women
dressed in Hanbok (traditional Korean
clothing) would join hands in a circle
and sing together. The dance dates back
to the Joseon Dynasty (1392-1910) during
the Japanese invasion when the Korean
army dressed the young women of
the village in military uniforms and had
them circle the mountains to make the
Japanese think the Korean military was
greater in number than it actually was.
The Koreans were eventually able to defeat
the Japanese, thanks in part to this
scare tactic.
- Chuseokbim (Chuseok dress)
Traditionally, as part of Chuseok, the
head of the household would buy new
clothes for everyone in the house, including
the servants. This custom is known as
Chuseokbim and is still practiced today,
but has been modernized with most families
purchasing clothes from department
stores and boutiques instead of exchanging
Hanbok.
Chuseok Food
Chuseok celebrates the rich harvest
season when fruit and grain are abundant.
With the newly harvested grains, people
make steamed rice, rice cake, and liquor.
- Songpyeon
Songpyeon is one of the representative
foods of Chuseok. This rice cake is
prepared with rice or non-glutinous rice
powder that is kneaded into the perfect
size (a little smaller than a golf ball)
then filled with sesame seeds, beans, red
beans, chestnuts, and a host of other nutritious
ingredients. When steaming the
songpyeon, the rice cakes are layered
with pine needles, adding the delightful
fragrance of pine. On the eve of Chuseok,
the entire family gathers together to make
songpyeon under the bright moon. There
is an old Korean saying that says that
the person who makes the most beautiful
songpyeon will meet a good-looking
spouse so, all the single of the single
members of the family try their best to
make the finest looking songpyeon!

- Liquors
Another major element of Chuseok is
traditional liquor, called Baekju (white
wine). The holidays are a time of thankfulness
and generosity and drinking is a
way in which many Koreans show their
generosity and bond with their fellow
countrymen.
Recommended Places to Visit for the
Chuseok Holidays
Those looking of a traditional
Chuseok experience during the holidays

• Salt (1ml)
• Sesame (100g)
• Honey (45ml)

How to make Songpyeon
During Chuseok (Korean Thanksgiving
Day), the years harvested grains
and fruits accentuate the flavor of some
Korean food. Although there are many
tasty treats or dishes during the harvest
season, the one that stands out above all
else is songpyeon, traditional Chuseok
rice cakes. You’d be surprised to find
that there are many different types of
songpyeon. It’s considered quite special,
considering the amount of work that goes
into making songpyeon. The half-moon
shaped rice cakes are made by kneading
rice flour using hot water and mung
beans, and green soybeans and sesame
are used as ingredients for the filling.
Songpyeon is then steamed in a layer of
pine needles, leaving a pattern on the finished
songpyeon, along with an appetizing
scent.
As mentioned before, there are many
different types of songpyeon such as
oryeo songpyeon made of new rice, nobi
songpyeon made of ramie leaves, acorn
songpyeon, clam songpeyon, pumpkin
songpyeon, potato songpyeon, flower
songpyeon, arrowroot songpyeon and
sagebrush songpyeon, among many others.
Songpyeon that are usually eaten during
Chuseok and made with new or this
current year’s crop of rice are called
oryeo songpyeon. In preparation, pine
needles are picked and cleaned a few days
prior to Chuseok. After all the necessary
steps, rice cakes that have been filled and
prepared are steamed in an earthenware
steamer. The finished product will have a
faint but fragrant scent, along with a deliciously
chewy texture that makes for a
mixture of flavors and sublime tastes.
Acorn songpyeon contains the true
flavor of the Gangwon-do region. Traditionally,
people from the mountainous
regions of Gangwon-do stopped eating
the acorn because of its bitter taste and,
after using a grinding stone to make the
starch, small leaves of an oak tree, along
with rice flour, were mixed and used as
fillings. They also mixed the filling or
stuffing with rice cake and steamed it.
For clam songpyeon, while not much
different from the traditional songpyeon,
the rice cake dough is made into small
white shapes of short-necked clams.
Residents of the Pyeongan-do region are
known to enjoy this delicacy.
Pumpkin songpyeon is made with
pumpkins harvested during the autumn
season. Pumpkins are sliced, dried and
ground into powder. Then, the pumpkin
powder is mixed with rice powder
and steamed chestnuts or roasted
sesame seeds to make the filling, and
then steamed. Pumpkin songpyeon is
sweet and tasty but also visually appealing,
since the bright yellow color of the
pumpkin shows through the semi-translucent
steamed songpyeon.
Flower songpyeon is made with omija
(or the dried red fruit of Maximowiczia
typica), gardenia seeds, pine endodermis
and mugwort (or Artemisia), and therefore
has a variety of flavors and colors.
Flower songpyeon are known to be made
with five cardinal colors and also have
decorations made with various colored
dough. Names of these songpyeon vary
according to their ingredients. Flower
songpyeon is classified along with other
songpyeon made with rice powder, however.
It’s unique in a way because after
the rice powder is kneaded into a dough
and flattened, a variety of ingredients are
stuffed into the flat half-moon shaped
dough, and since the shape of the finished
songpyeon is the same as your standard
half-moon shaped songpyeon, it’s classified
as such.
Songpyeon are tasty treats usually
enjoyed during Chuseok, and there are
reasons for this. Songpyeon are stuffed
with ingredients made from red beans
and other kinds of beans, and are meant
to symbolize a wish fulfillment of one’s
knowledge or studies. The five cardinal
colored songpyeon are supposed to represent
vitality or energy, and the five basic
elements that make up our universe.
Omija is used to make the color red,
gardenia seeds for yellow, Artemisia for
green and pine endodermis for brown.
Furthermore, maehwa songpyeon, which
are made without fillings, are supposed to
signify the desire for knowledge, as well
as a wish for an exemplary attitude and
outlook on life.
Koreans have a tradition of gathering
together to enjoy meals and spend some
quality time together during the harvest
moon festival when the full moon is at
its brightest and highest point. Its also a
time to be thankful for the abundance of
the seasons harvest.
Cooking Instructions
1. Wash non-glutinous rice 3 to 4 times and leave it soaking in water for 8 to
12 hour. Remove the soaked rice from water and sprinkle some salt and grind
into a fine powder. Place the Artemisia in boiling water with salt, remove and
then chop into fine pieces.
2. Take the powder for the rice cake and divide into 4 parts. Leave one part
as it is, another part for the Artemisia. As for the other two parts, mix one with
water from pine endodermis, and mix the last part with omija juice and knead
it to make dough.
3. Peel chestnuts and cut into 3 or 4 pieces, include some sugar and steam
lightly. Take the young soybeans, peel and add a bit of salt. Wash the sesame
and when dry, roast and then mix with honey. Take the red beans that have
been soaked in water, boil and then grind and mix with honey, salt, cinnamon
powder to make the filling.
4. Take little pieces of the prepared dough. Press your thumb into the middle
of the piece to make a round, flat piece. Place enough filling in the middle,
fold and press the ends to make nicely-shaped songpyeon. Next, wash the pine
needles and then dry.
5. In an earthenware steamer, place pine needles on the surface of the
steamer and songpyeon on top. Stack more pine needles and repeat the process
to add as many layers of songpyeon in the steamer as possible. When you
see steam evaporating, place the cover on top. Next, take the pine needles
out, dip songpyeon in cold water, rinse quickly and apply some sesame oil.
Songpyeon that’s not yet been steamed should be covered with a thin damp
cloth to prevent the dough from drying or cracking.
* Helpful Cooking Tip
Potatoes, sweet potatoes and acorns, among other ingredients, can be used
as the dough. For the filling or stuffing, black beans, mung beans, chestnuts,
jujube, sesame or sweet potatoes are used. If you dont plan on eating the
steamed songpyeon right away. Rinse it with the pine needles (not in cold
water), keep them covered in a basket.

추석, 한가위, 중추
미 공군 제 8 전투 비행단
공보실, 장 미 공보관
가을의 한가운데 달이며 팔월의 한
가운데 날이라는 뜻을 지니고 있는 우
리 민족의 연중 으뜸 명절인 추석을 맞
이하여, 추석의 어원과 음식, 고유놀
이들을 간략하게 소개합니다. (출처:
국립민속박물관 세시풍속사전)
[어원]
추석( 秋 夕 )을 글자대로 풀이하면
가을 저녁, 나아가서는 가을의 달빛이
가장 좋은 밤이라는 뜻이니 달이 유난
히 밝은 좋은 명절이라는 의미를 갖고
있다. 따라서 ‘추석’이란 대단히 상징
적인 의미를 지닌 용어라 할 수 있다.
중국인들은 추석 무렵을 중추( 中
秋 ) 또는 월석( 月 夕 )이라 하는데, 『예
기( 禮 記 )』에 나오는 조춘일( 朝 春 日 ),
추석월( 秋 夕 月 )에서 유래했다고 한다.
추석날 밤에는 달빛이 가장 좋다고 하
여 월석이라고 하는데, 우리나라에서
는 신라 중엽 이후 한자가 성행하게
된 뒤 중국인이 사용하던 중추니 월
석이니 하는 말을 합해서 축약하여 추
석이라고 했다는 설이 있다. 중추절이
라 하는 것은 가을을 초추( 初 秋 ), 중추
( 中 秋 ), 종추( 終 秋 )로 나누었을 때 추
석이 음력 8월 중추에 해당하므로 붙
은 이름이다.
[절식]
설날의 명절식이 떡국인 반면 추석
의 명절식은 송편이다. 명절식은 차례
상에 올려 조상에게 제를
지내고가족과 친척 그리고 이웃이
나누어 먹는다. 송편은 지역에 따라
음력 이월 초하루인 머슴날 또는 설날
에도만들어 먹지만 역시 가을을 상징
하는 음식이다. 그래서 가을 맛은 송
편에서 오고 송편 맛은 솔내에서 온다
는 말도 있다. 송편은 쌀가루를 익반
죽하여 햇녹두, 청태콩, 동부, 깨, 밤,
대추, 고구마, 곶감, 계피가루 같은 것
을 소로 넣어 둥글게 빚는다. 송편이
란 이름은 송편을 찔 때에 켜마다 솔
잎을 깔기 때문에 붙여졌다. 쌀가루를
익반죽할 때 쑥이나 송기를 찧어넣어
쑥송편이나 붉은 색의 송기송편을 만
들기도 한다. 한가위 때 햅쌀로 빚은
송편은 각별히 오려송편이라고 한다.
오려란 올벼를 뜻하는 말이다.
추석의 명절식으로 송편과 함께 토
란국을 차례상에 올리기도 한다. 토란
국은 다시마와 쇠고기를 섞어서 끓인
다. 화양적과 누름적도 명절식인데 화
양적은 햇버섯, 도라지, 쇠고기에 갖
은 양념을 하여 볶아 꼬챙이에 끼운
음식이다. 누름적은화양적과 같은 방
법으로 하되 밀가루나 달걀을 묻혀 지
진 음식이다. 이 음식들 역시 차례상
에 올린다.
송편, 누름적, 토란국
[추석놀이]
1. 강강술래: 음력 8월 한가윗날 밤에 호
남 지역에서 널리 놀았던 여성 집단놀이. 현
재는 전국적으로 이 놀이가 확산되어 굳이
호남 지역의 민속놀이라기보다는 전국화된
놀이라고 할 수 있다. 강강술래는 우리나라
의 대표적인 여성놀이로서 가장 여성적인 아
름다움과 율동미가 넘치는 민속놀이요 민속
춤이요 또한 민요이다. 가무악( 歌 舞 樂 )이 일
체화된 강강술래는 주로 추석날 밤에 행해지며, 지방에 따라서는 정월대보름
밤에 하기도 한다. 1966년 2월 15일에 중요무형문화재 제8호로 지정되었다.
2. 지와밟기: 추석( 秋 夕 )이나 정월대보름
날 밤에 여자들이 등을 굽혀 지와(기와) 모
양을 만들고 그 위를 밟아가는 민속놀이. 강
강술래의 부수놀이의 하나로서, 전라도 대
부분의 지역에서는 지와밟기라 하여 강강술
래를 하는 도중에 놀며, 전북 남원에서는 지
네밟기라고 한다. 경상도 지역에서는 독립
된 놀이로서 지애밟기, 재밟기, 기와밟기,
놋다리밟기, 인다리, 동교라고 한다. 이 유
사놀이들의 선후 관계나 발생 시기를 정확히 알기는 어렵지만, 『동국세시기(
東 國 歲 時 記 )』에 기록이 있는 것으로 보아 꽤 오래된 것으로 짐작된다.
3. 덕석말이놀이: 농촌에서 곡식을 말리
는 데 쓰이는 멍석을 말았다 풀었다 하는 동
작을 흉내 낸 놀이. 농악을 중심으로 한 풍물
놀이와 강강술래에 포함된 놀이 구성을 전
제하는 용어이다. 멍석을 경상남도와 전라남
도 지역에서는 덕석이라고 부른다는 점에서
이 놀이의 기원 지역을 추정할 수 있다. 비슷
한 명칭으로 덕석몰이, 덕석몰자 등이 있다.
4. 소싸움: 두 마리 황소를 맞붙여 승부
를 겨루는 놀이. 소를 중요한 생산수단으로
여겼던 전통사회에서 소싸움은 어느 지역에
서나 볼 수 있는 것이었지만, 임시로 벌이는
소싸움이 아니라 두 마을 또는 여러 마을에
서 마을을 대표하는 소를 끌고 나와 연례적
으로 벌인 소싸움은 경상남도 일원과 경상
북도 청도 지역 등 이른바 가야문화권에서
만 전승되어 있다.
그 외에도 청어엮기, 소싸움, 서산박첨지 문지기 놀이, 남생이 놀이, 꼬리
따기, 길쌈놀이, 고사리 꺽기, 가마등, 거북놀이등 우리 민족의 풍성한 민속 놀
이들이 있다.

Chusok, like the Lunar New Year, is a significant holiday for Koreans,
when the entire country stops working to enjoy this harvest festival
with their relatives.
설날과 마찬가지로 추석은 한국인들에게 중요한 의미를 지니는 명절로 온
나라 사람들이 일을 멈추고 친지들과 함께 가을 잔치를 즐기기는 때다.
One similarity between Chuseok and Thanksgiving is giving thanks
for the harvest.
추석과 추수감사절의 유사점은 수확에 대한 감사이다.
The storeowners are anticipating the increased demands during
Chuseok.
상인들은 추석 특수에 대한 기대감에 차 있다
If you have ever taken a bus or ridden in a car with your parents
during Chusok or New Years, you are sure to have experienced the
nuisance of bumper-to-bumper traffic.
추석이나 설날에 부모님과 함께 버스를 타보거나 차를 타본 적인 있다면,
차들이 꼬리를 물고 늘어선 교통체증의 곤혹스러움을 경험해본 적이 있을
것이다.
