On July 8, 1950 General Douglas MacArthur was directed to assume command of all United Nations (UN) forces in Korea and to use the UN flag concurrently with the flags of all UN nations participating. General MacArthur held this command until April 11, 1951 when he was replaced by General Matthew Ridgway. General Ridgway commanded the UN forces in Korea until was assigned as Supreme Allied Commander, Europe. General Ridgway was succeeded by General Mark Wayne Clark who assumed command of UN forces on May 12, 1952. General Clark commanded through the cease-fire on July 27, 1953. *As a footnote, the UN troops in Korea were not "peacekeepers." They were soldiers, sailors, airmen and Marines of many nations. They were not there to "keep the peace." They were there to maintain the sovereignty of the Republic of Korea bydestroying the North Korean and Chinese forces on the Korean Peninsula. "Peacekeeper" is a fairly modern politically correct term which detracts from the true nature of the modern warrior.
