Английская Википедия:2nd Quick Response Division (South Korea)
The 2nd Quick Response Division (Шаблон:Lang-ko, hanja: 二迅速對應師團), also known as Furious Wave Division (Шаблон:Lang-ko, hanja: 怒濤部隊), is a military formation of the Republic of Korea Army and is the only infantry division in the VII Maneuver Corps to serve as an offensive and air assault mission.
History
It was formed during the Korean War and was part of the defensive line in the Third Battle of Seoul.
The 17th Infantry participated in the Battle of Pusan Perimeter.[1]
Beginning on December 26, 1950, Communist Chinese Forces struck hard at United Nations units on the western approaches to Seoul. Supporting attacks occurred as well in the central and eastern parts of the line. The Chinese hit the ROK units hard, and again several units broke. Two out of three regiments of the 2nd Division fled the battlefield, leaving the 17th Regiment to fight alone and hold its position for hours despite heavy losses. General Ridgway reluctantly ordered a general, but orderly, withdrawal, with units instructed to maintain contact with the enemy during their retreat, rather than simply giving up real estate without inflicting losses on the enemy.[2]
On January 1, 2021, the 2nd Division moved its headquarters to Yangpyeong and was reorganized into a quick response division to take charge of offensive and air assault missions by integrating The 201st Quick Response Brigade and The 203rd Quick Response Brigade under 2nd Operations Command.
