A soldier of the 187th Airborne Regimental Combat Team poses casually outside barracks quarters in this candid snapshot from the Korean War era. Dressed in the khaki service uniform typical of the period, he represents the thousands of American paratroopers who served in Korea, including two combat jumps conducted by the 187th during the conflict. Photographs like this, preserved among personal negative collections, capture the everyday moments of garrison life between deployments. Project: 218535
