Mr Lutas,
9th Army IX Corps (S. Korea) has changed over the previous decade. 19K are no longer assigned to ABCT/BCTs stationed permanently in South Korea. Somewhere between 2014-2016, area 1 (CP Casey/Hovey) transitioned to being occupied by transient units (deployed CONUS) instead of 1BCT/2ID.

You can still be stationed in S. Korea as a 19K under the scope of broadening duties but no longer within your CMF.
