The US and GB always supply the highest # of troops in any UN event. That's why the other nations don't bother to. -- I don't know the actual numbers, but I'd venture to say the Korean War is an exception to that. I doubt it. The US commitment to the UN forces in Korea was undoubtedly the single largest outside (perhaps) that of the ROK itself, and I'd be very surprised if the other participating nations exceeded the number of troops sent by the UK, which provided two infantry brigades, an armored regiment, and three CS regiments (arty or engineers). The site I found indicates that the UK was indeed the top contributor outside the US and ROK: http://www.rt66.com/%7Ekorteng/SmallArms/un.htm Brooks Dan, U. S. Air Force, retired |
