Was reading Rangers In Korea by COL Robert W. Black., 1989.
Listed in the members of units was Merrill S Casner of the Eighth Army Ranger Company.
The history of the Eighth Army Ranger Company (8213th Army Unit) is as follows:
Activated, 24 August 1950. Parent Unit , none (TD Unit). Attached to 25th Infantry
Division. Campaigns: U.N. defensive, U.N. offensive, CCF Interventions, first U.N.
counteroffensive. Awards: Korean Presidential Unit Citation, Combat Infantry Streamer.
Inactivated 28 March 1951.
I believe CCF is communist China forces and TD is a Table of Distributions (gives
authority to have equipment and men in a unit).
