Lack of Replacements
Ups Points Troops Need
For Rotation Home
TOKYO, (JF)— Behind-the-lines
troops in Korea will need two ad

U.S. replacements as the reason.
There was no change in the ro
, tation requirement of 9 months’

the front. Rear area troops will
need 40 instead of 38 points.
Troops at the front get four ro
tation points a month. Those near
the front get three and soldiers
far to the rear get two.
Soldiers in Japan whose fami
lies are with them get one point
monthly. Others get lVz.
