General description of the collection: The Joseph C. Watts, Jr. papers include a completed Korean War Veterans Survey questionnaire. In his responses, Watts states that intelligence gathering was his forte, and describes his use of this ability during the Korean War. He witnessed military leadership that ranged from "brilliant to catastrophic" on all levels. He believes that character made good leaders and cites examples. Watts also describes instances of fragging, including how he escaped harm from a disgruntled sergeant. Watts criticizes Army Research and Development for failing to modernize weapons and equipment after WWII. Supplies were first taken by troops to the rear, leaving the front-line troops with less then needed. Watts found the rotation system at fault for soldiers being unmotivated while waiting for their rotation date. He believed the Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army (KATUSA) soldiers to be very brave and honest. He also describes the stress of constant combat, military-civilian relations in Korea, Japan and the United States, his mostly positive opinions of General Matthew Ridgway, and the treatment of prisoners of war.
