The return of the legendary reconnaissance company in the 2nd Infantry Division
528th Military Intelligence Company, a veteran of military operations during the Korean War (1950-1953), officially returned to service. The unit's re-formation ceremony took place on August 5 at Robertson Field at Camp Humphries, the largest U.S. military base outside the country. The US Army announced this in a press release published a week later.
The company has been reincorporated into the 2nd Infantry Division, the only U.S. Army division permanently stationed abroad. Its re-establishment marks not only the strengthening of the division's intelligence potential, but also the strengthening of the continuity of traditions and heroic heritage.
The unit is headed by Captain Brian Park. As indicated in the army's message, the 528th company will collect, process and analyze critical information about enemy forces, terrain and potential threats in the region. This information will become the basis for making tactical and operational decisions by the division command.
The company's work will include both traditional intelligence methods and the use of modern technologies, including drones, electronic warfare, and reconnaissance satellite data.
The revival of the 528th Company is not only an organizational decision, but also a strong symbol. It underscores the U.S. Army's commitment to preserving the historical continuity and honor of the combat units that defended South Korea more than seven decades ago.
In the current geopolitical environment, given the growing threats in the region, strengthening the intelligence component of the 2nd Infantry Division is of great strategic importance. The presence of a specialized unit capable of quickly and accurately assessing the situation increases readiness to respond to any challenges.
