South Korea cuts its Iraqi presence by nearly half

South Korea will continue to keep occupation troops in Iraq for the remainder of Bush's term.
Of course, these troops seldom even leave their base, so this is largely a symbolic gesture.
Even with this symbolic gesture, the force levels were cut by nearly half, from 1250 to 650.

ROK approves plan to extend troop deployment in Iraq

17:12, December 28, 2007

The South Korean National Assembly approved Friday the government's plan to extend South Korea's troop deployment in Iraq until the end of 2008.

It was the fourth straight year for South Korea to extend its troops mandate in Iraq since 2004, when South Korea extended mandate of its troops for one year at the request of the U.S. government.

Under the motion, submitted by President Roh Moo-hyun's administration in November, the number of South Korean troops in Iraq will be cut from the current 1,250 to about 650. About 600 troops have already returned home over the past few weeks.
