#1 They really need to just have an Armored Cav Regiment up there to serve as the tripwire - and move the major logistics to Pusan area, where there is adequate time and space in the face of any NKOR agression. 2 heavy brigades of the 2nd ID should be concentrated near Seoul since that seems to be the whole purpose of defending so far forward in fixed positions. Put the third brigade south newar Pusan to guard the airbases and logistics facilities.

#2 Heck, you don't even need to do that much - the ROK has plenty enough bodies to put up at the line. I don't see why Seoul needs anything other than air and naval support (and to be frank, they don't even "need" that, either).
