About the author
Hubard D. Kuokka, also listed as Hubard Dan Kuokka, was a news reporter and a major in the United States Marine Corps. The biographical details consistently surfaced in library and public-domain records, which identify him as being born on March 4, 1913, and dying on June 23, 2008.
Readers are most likely to know him through U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950-1953, Volume 4 (of 5): The East-Central Front, published in 1962. That book credits him alongside Lynn Montross and Norman W. Hicks and places him with the Marine Corps Historical Branch, where he contributed to the official record of Marine operations during the Korean War.
Because confirmed public information about his wider life and career is limited, the safest picture is also the clearest one: he was a military historian with firsthand institutional ties to the Marine Corps, and his writing helped preserve an important part of U.S. military history for later readers.
