 However, this criticism is usually rebutted by the counter-argument from the United States Forces Korea that such promotion of KATUSA soldiers is sufficiently warranted given the fact that KATUSA soldiers usually possess at least two years of college experience, which would translate to an advanced enlisted rank for US soldiers.Another criticism arising from the Korean Army side is based on the fact that most of the KATUSA soldiers are from the top universities in Korea.For the ROKA, this means that they are losing intelligent soldiers to the US Army.
