History
The 16th Infantry Regiment is a military formation of the Republic of Korea Army of the 8th Division. The 16th Infantry Regiment was originally activated as the 16th Regiment on October 28, 1948 at Masan and was first commanded by Lt. Col. Park Shi Ch'ang ( _ko. 박시창).

Participated in the Battle of Pusan Perimeter. [ [http://www.army.mil/cmh-pg/brochures/KW-Outbreak/outbreak.htm The Korean War: The Outbreak] ]
"More attacks followed on October 31, 1950 as CCF troops broke through the sector of the 16th Regiment, ROK 8th Division, near its boundary with the 1st Division. By the next day the Chinese had pushed the 7th Division back to the vicinity of Won-ni. The series of attacks forced the II Corps to pivot facing east, causing a gap between its left flank and the U.S. I Corps. Walker quickly assembled the 2d Division in the Sunchon area to meet any possible emergency in this gap. Within a few days of the first battles the CCF troops had driven back and severely crippled the II Corps and had moved south of the Chongchon River to the U.S. I Corps’ open right flank."
