Camp Page, 1959
Ground cable for communication between units in field is laid by Pvt. Bill Schnoering (left) and his buddy, PFC Roy Huddleston. Pvt. Bill Schnoering (left) and his buddy, PFC Roy Huddleston of the 226th Signal Co. lay ground cable for communications. At Camp Page, home of the 4th U.S. Army Missile Command, (Air Transportable), Korea’s only missile command, five separate companies and a battalion representing four branches of the Army go about their jobs with one purpose in mind: to be able to deliver their Honest John rocket where needed, if needed. The 226th Signal Co. is the first to move in and the last to move out, setting up and breaking down all the communications equipment needed to support the mission of the missile command. The mission of the command: “To provide artillery support for the First Republic of Korea Army”. The 4th Missile Command has been in Korea more than a year and it’s an entirely new concept in the American military organization: unlike most units which are directly assigned to U.S. units or are given the mission of supporting U.S. units, this one was designed for and supports the forces of an allied power: South Korea.
