5. That's authorized strength

The numbers that are authorized and the numbers on the ground are not always the same!

And if you look closer at the 2nd ID, you'll see that two of its combat brigades are based at Ft. Lewis, Washington. Unless a movement order has already been issued, it'll take several days for those units to get loaded up and on their way to South Korea.

Most of the defense will have to be done by the ROK military forces!

Add to this the fact that South Korea has only an acting president, with elections scheduled for May 9!
