I responded to a post on the  Culture list that stated the only reason the
US had land mines along the DMZ was to provide profits for US weapons
manufacturers.  My counter pointed out the military forces that the N.
Koreans had.  The poster asked about US forces.  I have the troop number:
37k, but I don't even have a rough estimate of numbers of US tanks and
armored personnel carriers, etc.
IIRC the only division stationed over there is the 2nd Infantry Division, and is of a composite structure (1 armored brigade @112 tanks, 1 Mech Infantry Brigade @56 tanks and one air assault brigade that's heliborne...also around 300 IFVs by my calculations...). THis is of course not counting support services, independent units, and AF ground personnel...IIRC there may be some marine units there as well...
