    The KMAG Advisor: Role and Problems of the Military Advisor in Developing an Indigenous Army for Combat Operations in Korea, Feb 57

    The purpose of this study is to examine: (1) the role of the KMAG advisor; (2) preparation for KMAG duty; (3) elements of the advisory process; (4) the relationship of the advisor to the advisory group; (5) advisors' evaluations of the ROK Army; in order to make recommendation for the optimal operation of KMAG or other advisory groups which may in the future be concerned with the training and guidance of the military forces of foreign nations.

    Captain James Hausman, US Army Military Advisor to Korea, 1946–48: The Intelligent Man on the Spot
    Building indigenous armies in Asia with military advisory and aid programs has been a mission of the United States Army for over 100 years. Creation of an indigenous army was an early goal of American occupation policy in Korea, but little support and resources were assigned. Between 1946 and 1948, a minute American advisory effort partially trained and equipped a Korean Army cadre of 25,000 men. The unceasing efforts of a talented American advisor, Captain James Hausman, made success possible. He dominated the small advisory group, was given carte blanche to implement his ideas, and left indelible changes on what became the South Korean Army.
