Korean War Reenactment - Tactical Reenactment

Tactical Reenactment

In this form of Korean war reenactment, participants attempt to "walk in the shoes" of a Korean War soldier, and simulate the experience as completely as possible with all its discomforts, but without physical danger. While other reenactors may be portraying Chinese or North Korean soldiers, Korean war events lack the competitive "win or lose" wargaming aspect of more mainstream World War two reenactments, and tend to be much more scripted. Participants are generally required to create a persona and remain "in character" throughout the event.

The first such event documented was held in North Vernon, Indiana by members of the 20th Century Tactical Studies Group portraying Canadian and North Korean troops on March 15, 1997.
