PYEONGTAEK, South Korea When ships arrive in South Korea this month with the trucks and combat equipment the U.S. Marines need for a big training exercise, a U.S. Army unit known as the “Kargo Kings” will be “knee deep” in getting that gear pierside and on its way to the leathernecks’ training areas.
The unit, whose official name is the 837th Transportation Battalion (Terminal), manages the U.S. military’s seagoing cargo moving in and out of peninsula ports as well as the ship-delivered merchandise bound for the peninsula’s U.S. military commissaries and exchanges.
