Does the 528th sustainment brigade in Korea conduct airborne ops? I just recently came down on orders there. Just trying to figure out what I’m walking into before I arrive.

It is not good practice to discuss military unit capabilities in an open forum; particularly forward units in places like Korea. I recommend you ask your sponsor through official email.

Think on it, the roads in S.Korea are set to be mined/blown/targeted by both Korea's, same for the entire transportation set up. They had to do some supply air drops during the Korean war, so it's possible they may still be prepared for that option.

You're actually going to the 112th Signal Battalion detachment. 112th falls under 528, but the actual 528 is located at Bragg. You will be in a small detachment that is part of SOCKOR which is the TSOC for Korea. 112th has over 50 signal detachments all over the world. Yes, you will jump while you are there. You might even get to jump from a hot air balloon while you're there, too. MSG Quismundo was the Detachment NCOIC while I was in Okinawa, you could reach out to him on global and ask him.
As far as OPSEC, this is all publicly available knowledge. SOCOM puts out a fact book listing locations , makeup, and capabilities every year and MSG Quismundo is on Linkedin as the NCOIC.
