Appearance
The United Nations Civil Assistance Corps Korea (UNCACK) was a United Nations agency under the command of the Eighth Army of the United States of America that was involved in the reconstruction and rehabilitation of the Republic of Korea (ROK) following the Korean War. The primary mission of UNCACK was to provide a structure through which United Nations member nations could supply food, supplies, and technical assistance to Korea in cases when it was impossible to provide financial aid.
