South Korea, the US, and fifteen other nations contributed military forces to the UN command in Korea. The U.S. force consisted of aviation units from the Air Force, Navy, Marines, and Army. The small South Korean Air Force started the war unable to contribute combat forces, but with Air Force assistance and equipment, fielded combat forces as the war progressed. Great Britain, Australia and South Africa sent combat air units, while Greece, Canada, Thailand and the Philippines sent airlift units to Korea. Moreover, some of these countries sent aircrews to fly in U.S. Air Force units on exchange duty.
