Korean War question -- stop gap used?

[Lynwood_Slim]

Some time ago there was controversy that some active duty enlistments were lengthened and some were called back to active duty during a period of the Iraq war.

I don’t believe that stop was used in Viet Nam (we had the draft after all), and in WWII one served for the duration.

What about in the Korean War? I know that many vets of WWII in the inactive, individual reserve were called up, but were enlistments lengthened and did draftees have their service term lengthened?

Yes. From army.mil, The Korean War and its Aftermath:

The first few months of the war the Army relied on stopgap measures to field its six undermanned divisions in Korea but was still able to evolve a strategy for conducting the war. Under MacArthur, a strategy of attrition was quickly replaced by a strategy of annihilation. When the Chinese entered the war in the fall of 1950 the United Nations reverted to an attrition strategy, but one which depended on firepower rather than manpower. No major reinforcements would be provided to the forces in Korea. Although limited manpower mobilization in the United States solved many personnel problems in the Far East Command, divisions continued to lack trained infantry and artillery troops. After the United Nations spring counteroffensive, which ended on 8 July 1951, negotiations began for an armistice, with the number of Army divisions in Korea remaining fixed at six until the summer of 1953.10
