History

Founded in 2021, the Retiree Support Overseas Korea (RSO Korea) site consolidates information and resources for a one-stop-shop of reliable and concise information to the U.S. military retiree and veterans community in Korea. We are a non-profit, non-membership, non-DOD affiliated group that was created and is maintained using the years of experiences and input of retirees and veterans living in Korea.  RSO Korea collects information from the Eight U.S. Army Korea Retiree Council gathered from the Retiree Council meetings, numerous DOD organizations and agencies, and personal experiences of retirees and veterans living in Korea. This is a dynamic, ever changing resource trying to keep information fresh and up to date. Please contact us when you find inaccuracies, changes needed, something new you would like to see added, or anything that just doesn't seem quite right.
