KUNSAN AIR BASE, South Korea — Come back to this tiny base on the edge of the Yellow Sea in 10 years, and you might not recognize it.
Construction is under way on 44 projects, from new high-rise dorms to a renovated Patriot missile battery site. Another 266 projects have been planned or are awaiting funding.
In total, the overhaul to a base that houses 2,600 troops and suffered from neglect for years will cost a whopping $1 billion.
