About the author
Hubard D. Kuokka was a U.S. Marine Corps officer and historian, credited as Major Hubard D. Kuokka, USMC, on U.S. Marine Operations in Korea, 1950-1953, Volume 4: The East-Central Front. The book was published by the Historical Branch at Headquarters, U.S. Marine Corps in 1962 and was written with Lynn Montross and Norman W. Hicks.
That volume is part of the Marine Corps' official history of the Korean War, focusing on the East-Central Front and the operations of Marine forces during a critical stretch of the conflict. Kuokka's role in that series places him among the writers who helped turn military records and firsthand experience into a detailed historical account for later readers.
Reliable biographical details about his wider life are limited in the sources I could confirm, but library and public memorial records identify him as Hubard Dan Kuokka and give his lifespan as 1913 to 2008. No suitable confirmed portrait image was available from the sources I checked.
