Operation Big Switch Operation Big Switch was the repatriation of all remaining prisoners of the Korean War . Ceasefire talks had been going on between Communist and UN forces since 1951 , with one of the main stumbling blocks being the Communist insistence that all prisoners be returned home , with the UN insisting that prisoners who wished to remain where they were be allowed to do so . After talks dragged on for two years , the Chinese and North Koreans relented on this point , and the Korean Armistice Agreement was signed on July 27 , 1953 . Operation Big Switch began in August 1953 and lasted until December . 75 , 823 Communist prisoners ( 70 , 183 North Koreans and 5 , 640 Chinese ) and 12 , 773 UN prisoners ( 7 , 862 South Koreans , 3 , 597 Americans , and 946 British ) were returned .

Much to the surprise of the UN forces , 23 Americans and one Briton , along with 333 Korean UN soldiers , also declined repatriation . Prisoners who declined repatriation were given ninety days to change their minds . 137 Chinese soldiers did so , and went back to China . Two Americans and eight Koreans also did so , and were returned to the West . That left 325 Koreans , 21 Americans and 1 Briton who voluntarily decided to stay with the Communists . Operation Little Switch . Operation Little Switch was an exchange of sick and wounded prisoners during the Korean War in April and May 1953 . The U . N . released 6 , 670 Chinese and North Korean prisoners , and the Communist forces returned 684 U . N . coalition prisoners ( including 149 Americans ) .

168 Pioneer Regiment RLC 168 Pioneer Regiment is a unit in the British Territorial Army . The regiment is nationally recruited and provides a reserve unit of pioneer s . Formation . The regiment was formed following the rationalisation of Army logistics instigated by the Logistic Support Review in 1990 which advocated that all logistic support matters should be the responsibility of a new corps , The Royal Logistic Corps ( RLC ) . It would be created from the amalgamation of the Royal Corps of Transport , Royal Army Ordnance Corps , Royal Pioneer Corps , Army Catering Corps and the Postal and Courier Branch of the Royal Engineers . The implementation of the Review ' s recommendations resulted in The Royal Logistic Corps being formed on 5 April 1993 from these Corps . The RLC was to make up over 17 % of the regular Army ' s trained adult soldier strength and 20 % of the Territorial Army . On 1 April 1995 , the three operational pioneer TA squadrons 34 , 68 and 79 Squadrons were formed into 168 Pioneer Regiment , with the instructions that it was to become operational by 1 April 1998 . These squadrons were formed into the tasking sub - units of the Regiment which were to become 34 , 102 , 103 Squadrons with the Headquarters Squadron being named 101 Squadron . A Regimental Headquarters was also formed under its first Commanding officer , Lieutenant Colonel Rod Othen , who had served as a regular in the Royal Pioneer Corps ( RPC ) before retiring and joining the Royal Pioneer Corps in the Territorial Army . He established the Regiment before handing it over to Lt Col Ron Gatepain who had seen service in the Royal Marines and TA service with the RPC . The Strategic Defence Review of 1998 resulted in 168 Pioneer Regiment being tasked with forming two additional Squadrons which were to be Independent sub - units within the Specialist Regiment . These squadrons were to be formed in the North East of England . The Commanding Officer recruited many of the soldiers from disbanding units in the area and formed 100 Squadron at Cramlington , Berwick upon Tweed , Hexham and 104 Squadron based at Middlesbrough ; they had between them units at six locations in the Northeast . It also made 168 Regiment the largest unit in the British Army with 678 personnel and created a new concept of mixing Specialist and Independent TA . On 3 July 2013 the Defence Secretary , Philip Hammond , announced in Parliament that as past of the restructuring of the Army , 168 Regiment will be one of nine major units that will be disbanded . The four squadrons of 168 Regiment will be withdrawn from the British Army ORBAT no later than March 2014 .
