It was kept so that KATUSA soldiers could make up for the instant shortage of U.S. forces from the military evacuation.
The KATSUA soldiers could also help the American soldiers who stayed behind in Korea to keep a good relation with the Korean military.
Therefore, the KATUSA system still has been operating in Korea with some changes in its method of operations.
Every South Korean male aged between 18 and 28 must do at least 18 months of military service.
As of 2012, the Department of Defense recruits KATUSA soldiers for the next year every September.
So people who want to perform their military duty under the KATUSA program apply for it in September.
The people applying must have at least one valid score among the various English competency tests: TOEIC, TEPS, TOEFL (PBT or IBT), G-TELP Level 2, FLEX.
The Department of Defense has set cut-off points for each of these tests, which have changed over time.
After the department finishes recruiting applicants, it randomly picks KATUSA soldiers for the next year who meet all the standards required.
It announces the names of applicants who got accepted to be KATUSA on November of the same year.
When the time has come for the applicants to enter the military, they gather at Republic of Korea Army (ROKA) training camp, which is located at Nonsan-si, Chungcheongnam-do.
Trainees have to finish all the basic training courses like any other ROKA soldier.
These go for five weeks.
After they finish the training, the soldiers with Private rank go to the KATUSA Training Academy (KTA), which is located at Uijeongbu.
They get specialized trainings that help them to adapt to life in the U.S. Army, and to become "ambassadors" working for the mutual cooperation between South Korea and the United States.
This training goes for 3 weeks.
After this, trainees are assigned as soldiers to U.S. Army posts in South Korea.
The placements are made according to several scores they get during training.

A Darlington transistor, sometimes called "Darlington pair" is a transistor circuit that is made from two bipolar transistors.
Sidney Darlington invented it at Bell Labs.
It is like a transistor but it has much higher ability to gain current.
The circuit can be made from two discrete transistors or it can be inside an integrated circuit.
The hfe parameter with a Darlington transistor is each transistors hfe multiplied together.
It is so sensitive that it can pick up the current in skin.
If you connect it to a piece of metal, you can make a touch-sensitive button.
Kaoru Moto (April 25, 1917-August 26, 1992) was a United States Army soldier.
Moto was born in Hawaii to Japanese immigrant parents.
Moto volunteered to be part of the all-Nisei 100th Infantry Battalion.
For his actions in July 1944, Moto was awarded the Army's second-highest decoration, the Distinguished Service Cross (DSC).
Moto's award was upgraded to the Medal of Honor.
Moto's Medal of Honor recognized his conduct in frontline fighting in central Italy in 1944.
Without help from others, he attacked two machine guns; and, although he was wounded, he captured a third machine gun nest.
Acting on his own, Moto silenced two enemy machine gun positions while acting as a scout.
He also destroyed a third even though he was seriously wounded.
Private First Class Kaoru Moto distinguished himself by extraordinary heroism in action on 7 July 1944, near Castellina, Italy.
While serving as first scout, Private First Class Moto observed a machine gun nest that was hindering his platoon's progress.
On his own initiative, he made his way to a point ten paces from the hostile position, and killed the enemy machine gunner.
Immediately, the enemy assistant gunner opened fire in the direction of Private First Class Moto.
Crawling to the rear of the position, Private First Class Moto surprised the enemy soldier, who quickly surrendered.
Taking his prisoner with him, Private First Class Moto took a position a few yards from a house to prevent the enemy from using the building as an observation post.
While guarding the house and his prisoner, he observed an enemy machine gun team moving into position.
He engaged them, and with deadly fire forced the enemy to withdraw.
An enemy sniper located in another house fired at Private First Class Moto, severely wounding him.
Applying first aid to his wound, he changed position to elude the sniper fire and to advance.
Finally relieved of his position, he made his way to the rear for treatment.
Crossing a road, he spotted an enemy machine gun nest.
Opening fire, he wounded two of the three soldiers occupying the position.
Not satisfied with this accomplishment, he then crawled forward to a better position and ordered the enemy soldier to surrender.
Receiving no answer, Private First Class Moto fired at the position, and the soldiers surrendered.
Private First Class Moto's extraordinary heroism and devotion to duty are in keeping with the highest traditions of military service and reflect great credit on him, his unit, and the United States Army.

Ignaz Semmelweis (born 1818 - died 1865) was a Hungarian doctor who discovered bacteria, disease and infection.
He is the father of infection control.
Semmelweis observed that if the doctors washed their hands, the number of infections of puerperal fever could be reduced.
For this reason, Semmelweis ordered his medical students to wash their hands before and after medical rounds.
He was mocked by fellow doctors, but he could not prove his findings, because bacteria had not been discovered yet.
In 1870, Robert Koch proved that bacteria can cause disease.
People such as Louis Pasteur proved what is known as the  germ theory of disease only after Semmelweis' death.
Semmelweis probably had Alzheimer’s disease and he was sent to an asylum for being insane.
He died after 14 days in the asylum possibly being beaten by the staff and inmates.

The Four Freedoms is an important concept of American president Franklin D. Roosevelt.
He presented them in the State of the Union of January 6, 1941, which is therefore also called the Four Freedoms Speech.
Roosevelt made the Four Freedoms public just eleven months before the American participation at World War II.
The concept played an important role in the American propaganda during the war.
After Roosevelts death in 1945, his wife Eleanor continued being an important advocate for including the Four Freedoms in the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.
"In the future days, which we seek to make secure, we look forward to a world founded upon four essential human freedoms:
The third is freedom from want which, translated into world terms, means economic understandings which will secure to every nation a healthy peacetime life for its inhabitants—everywhere in the world.
The fourth is freedom from fear which, translated into world terms, means a world-wide reduction of armaments to such a point and in such a thorough fashion that no nation will be in a position to commit an act of physical aggression against any neighbor—anywhere in the world.
"That is no vision of a distant millennium.
That kind of world is the very antithesis of the so-called new order of tyranny which the dictators seek to create with the crash of a bomb".
Franklin D. Roosevelt, January 6, 1941
To inspire a greater public for his concept, Roosevelt arranged the creation of the Four Freedoms Monument.
The statue was made public in 1943 in New York City.
In honor of one of the first Americans to be killed in action in World War II, Colin Kelly, Roosevelt had the statue moved to Kelly's former home in Florida.
In 1943 artist painter Norman Rockwell got inspired by the Four Freedoms and made a series of four paintings on this subject.
Afterwards, the American authorities made use of these paintings to collect money for the world war.
The right to an adequate standard of living is a fundamental human rights.
It is part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights that was accepted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948.
The predecessor of this right, the Freedom from Want, is one of the Four Freedoms that American President Franklin D. Roosevelt spoke out at his State of the Union of January 6, 1941.
According to Roosevelt it is a right every human being everywhere in the world should have.
In his speech Roosevelt described his third right as follows:
Freedom from fear is a fundamental human right.
This right was mentioned by American President Franklin D. Roosevelt as one of the Four Freedoms human beings everywhere in the world should have.
Roosevelt presented the Four Freedoms at his State of the Union of January 6, 1941, which therefore has been called the Four Freedoms Speech as well.
This right, as well as the other three of the Four Freedoms of Roosevelt, makes part of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights, which was accepted by the General Assembly of the United Nations on December 10, 1948.
Freedom from fear is written down in the introduction tot the UN Declaration.
In 1943 Norman Rockwell painted his work Freedom from Fear  which is one of four paintings he made on Roosevelts Four Freedoms.
Aung San Suu Kyi has named this right many times in speeches and wrote a book with the title Freedom From Fear on it in 1991.
Historian David M. Kennedy was inspired by the right as well and in 1991 he brought out his book with the title Freedom From Fear: The American People in Depression and War, 1929–1945.

The Four Freedoms Monument is a sculpture by Walter Russell.
It was in New York City at first and later moved to Florida.
The monument is a symbol for the Four Freedoms human beings everywhere in the world should have.
This part of his speech has therefore been named the Four Freedoms Speech as well.
This was before the American participation at World War II.
The Four Freedoms of President Franklin Delano Roosevelt are the following:
Freedom of worship
Freedom from want
The monument was first presented in 1943 in Madison Square Garden in New York City, with the presence of 60,000 people.

Bengali nationalism is the political expression of ethno-national consciousness of the Bengali people.
These people live in the region of Bengal.
The region's territory is divided between Bangladesh and the Indian state of West Bengal.
Creation of Bangladesh
The Bengali Language Movement and its fallout had created a lot of cultural and political hostility between the two parts of a united Pakistan.
Despite making up a majority of the Pakistani population, Bengalis were only a small part of Pakistan's military, police and civil services.
Ethnic and socio-economic discrimination against Bengali people in East Pakistan made them angry.
Because West Pakistanis were influenced by Perso-Arabic culture, they saw Bengali culture as too closely associated with Hindu culture.
One of the first groups demanding the independence of East Pakistan was the Swadhin Bangal Biplobi Parishad (Free Bengal Revolutionary Council).
The Swadhin Bangal Biplobi Parishad was an underground student political group organized in 1961 by Mujibur Rahman, the founder of Bangladesh.
The group worked to oppose the military rule of Ayub Khan (Field Marshal).
It also worked for more autonomy and the independence of East Pakistan as Bangladesh.
A helping hand, also called a third hand is a tool for soldering.
It has other uses too.
A magnifying glass can be with it.
It has adjustable clips to hold wires or other work parts.
Benefits include better quality to soldered parts, no risk of burning hands, and easier work.
The tool was invented by one William P. Rowing when he attempted to make various parts in his workstation into a pose-able miniature.
He originally intended to fashion something that he could set into a fad he had began to show an interest in called: The Dab, however the alligator clamps and the magnifying glass turned out to be perfect for soldering and crafting more delicate pieces.

Power line communication (or Powerline communication) uses existing electric power lines to send and receive data.
The data signal is modulated and multiplexed over several carrier frequencies.
There are different technologies that can be used:
low frequency transmission, over long distances:  Example uses are the power company reading out its meters from a distance, or controlling its equipment, which may be in remote locations that are difficult to access.
Modulation is at a few hundred kilohertz
medium frequency transmission, over short distances: Home automation (light switching, automatically controlled blinds...)
There are different technologies that propose to replace a Local Area Network or WLAN.
The problem there is that technologies of different vendors cannot talk to each other, and that the standard is only about as fast as Fast Ethernet

The Chicago River is 156 miles long (251 km) and goes through the city of Chicago, Illinois, including the center of the city (the Chicago Loop).
The river is not long, but it is known for being the reason why Chicago became an important place, as the connection between the Great Lakes and the Mississippi Valley waterways.
The river is the only river in the world to be reversed (which is, made to flow backwards, in the opposite of its natural direction) by civil engineering.
In the 19th century through civil engineering, the flow of the river was reversed to head toward the Mississippi River basin, away from Lake Michigan.
This was done for reasons of sanitation through the Chicago Sanitary and Ship Canal.
The Chicago River is also noted for the local custom of dyeing it green on St. Patrick's Day.
The river is controlled for boats or ships going through the river.
The river is memorialized, in part, by two horizontal blue stripes on the Municipal Flag of Chicago.
The river also serves as inspiration for one of Chicago's symbols: a three-branched, Y-shaped symbol (called the municipal device) is found on many buildings and other structures throughout Chicago; it represents the three branches of the Chicago River.
North bank
On the north bank of the river, near the Chicago Landmark Michigan Avenue Bridge, is Pioneer Court, which marks the site where Jean Baptiste Point du Sable came to Chicago.
Point du Sable is known as the founder of Chicago.
On the south bank of the river is the site of Fort Dearborn.
Well known buildings surrounding this area include the NBC Tower, the Tribune Tower, and the Wrigley Building.
The river turns slightly to the south west between Michigan Avenue and State Street, passing the Trump International Hotel and Tower, 35 East Wacker, and 330 North Wabash.
Turning west again the river passes Marina City, the Reid, Murdoch & Co. Building, Merchandise Mart, and 333 Wacker Drive.

At the other end of the line, the combined signals are demultiplexed, that is, the combination of the signals is undone.
There are different ways how this multiplexing can be done:
Space division multiplexing: Each channel can use its own part of the space exclusively.
There are many channels, in different spaces.
This is like people talking in different places.
If the people talking are far apart, the conversations won't interfere.
Frequency division multiplexing: Different channels use the different frequencies.
The sounds bats  make use frequencies that humans cannot hear.
Their conversations will therefore not interfere.
Time division multiplexing: Different channels use different time slots.
In Amateur radio, there will only be one person speaking at a time.
Different people who speak at different times do not interfere with each other.
Code division multiplexing: Communications are coded.
Different signals use different codes.
People speaking in different languages do not interfere.
Multiplexing was first done for telegraphy in the 1870s, and for telephone lines in 1910.
Today, it is widely used.

The 1988 United States presidential election happened on November 8, 1988.
George H. W. Bush, the Republican candidate and Vice President of the United States, won the election.
He defeated the Democratic candidate, Governor Michael Dukakis of Massachusetts.
This presidential election was the first since 1948, as well as the most recent one to date, in which a political party won a third presidential election in a row.
This also remains the most recent in which a candidate won over 400 electoral votes.
Since the 1988 election, no candidate has managed to equal or surpass Bush's number of electoral votes won or popular vote percentage.
Bush ran an aggressive campaign taking advantage of a good economy, a stable international stage, and President Ronald Reagan's popularity.
Meanwhile, Dukakis's campaign suffered from several miscues, including failure to defend from Bush's attacks.
This allowed Bush to win with a substantial margin of the popular vote; while winning the Electoral College by a landslide.
Bush won the election by 426 electoral votes.
Governor of Massachusetts Michael Dukakis got 111 electoral votes.
Lloyd Bentsen got 1 electoral vote by a West Virginia faithless elector.

This painting is the only one in the Four Freedoms series he had not specially painted for this subject.
