KATUSA meaning in Governmental ?

Korean Augmentation To the United States Army (KATUSAKorean: 카투사) is a branch of the Republic of Korea Army that consists of Korean drafted personnel who are augmented to the Eighth United States Army (EUSA). KATUSA does not form an individual military unit, instead small numbers of KATUSA members are dispatched throughout the most of the Eighth United States Army departments, filling in positions for the United States Army enlisted soldiers and junior non-commissioned officers. KATUSAs are drafted from a pool of qualified volunteers who are subjected to mandatory military service for Korean male citizens.

While the ROK Army holds responsibility for personnel management of KATUSAs, KATUSA members are equipped with standard United States Army issues, and live and work with the U.S. enlisted soldiers. This kind of augmentation is unique throughout the entire United States Army worldwide, because the KATUSA program was developed during Korean War as a temporary measure to cope with a shortage of personnel in the United States Army.
