By Rich Lamance ^Special to the Rappahannock News ' OSAN AIR BASE, South Korea - When most of us read or watch news reports yarning of short range missile tests b> North Korea, we shake our heads and wonder if the 55-year stand-off between the democratic south and the communist north will ever be resolved.
For the son of a Washington couple, saberrattling by North Korea takes on a much more ominous meaning. Army Pfc. Austen E. Rhein, son of Mark and Elizabeth Rhein, who live on Hunters Road in Washington, is a Patriot missile system apprentice assigned to the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade, a Patriot missile unit that deployed to South Korea last fall from Texas to provide air defense support for the Republic of Korea. Rhein is assigned to Battery D, 1st battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery at Osan Air Base, South Korea.
“My job consists of performing maintenance checks on Patriot missile systems,” said Rhein. “I also tend to any other related tasks that might come up during duty.”
Created in 1918 as a boast artillery defense unit for our nation’s capital, the 35th Air Defense Artillery Brigade today is headquarters for two Patriot battalions - the 2nd Battalion, 1st Air Defense Artillery at Qwang ju Air Base, in the southern part of the penm sula, and the 1st Battalion, 43rd Air Defense Artillery, based at Suwon Air Base
