More details about the deployment of ROK forces to Afghanistan have been released:

Korea has narrowed down the number of civilian aid workers to be sent to Afghanistan to less than 100, while the troop number will be set at slightly above 300, a senior Foreign Ministry official said yesterday.

“The number of civilian workers of the Provincial Reconstruction Team will be set at 75, while the troops who will be dispatched to protect these workers will be set at just above 300,” the official said on condition of anonymity.

Out of the 75, about 20 will be sent to stay at Bagram Air Base which is operated by the United States. The remainder will be dispatched to the district of Charikar, an area in the province of Parwan where Korea is likely to set up a camp due to its proximity to the capital city Kabul. Parwan is also considered as a relatively secure part of Afghanistan.

The 24 Koreans of the existing PRT are currently residing at Bagram base. Korea is now expected to establish an independent military base to house its civilians and troops.  [Korea Herald]

It is pretty obvious this is just a symbolic deployment considering the force will not be doing much.  Though the Europeans are right now ruling out additional troop deployments I am willing to bet they will eventually come around and make a sympolic deployment like the Koreans are.  I sure hope though that the Korean government got a handle on their wayward missionaries though.
