GEN Vincent K. Brooks, UNC/USFK commander, named the main auditorium for Retired Republic of Korea General Paik, Sun-yup. Paik successfully executed Operation Rat Killer in March 1952, a task to eliminate opposing forces in Jirisan, Republic of Korea, a southern mountain region.
He was appointed as the Army Chief of Staff in July 1952, at the age of 32. Six months later, he was promoted to the rank of general making him the first four-star general in the South Korean military. He later was named as the Chairman for the ROK Joints Chief of Staff and retired in 1960.
