I've never served in the pacific or even I Corps, but one things for sure: it will be a tough fight.

Throw in 1st Cav. ROK strength is about 600,000, well trained, U.S. equipped. Their air force ain't bad either. Theoretically we could throw in 2 USMC divisions, but it would probably be just one.

PDRK is equipped mostly with older Soviet junk. Without major help from China, they would likely run out of gas two weeks in. The only big question is whether it would go nuclear.
