Army Lt. Col. Orlando was assigned to the 716th Military Police Battalion, 101st Airborne Division (Air Assault), Fort Campbell, Kentucky. Orlando was the commanding officer of the 716th Military Police Battalion. Orlando and other soldiers were attempting to negotiate with armed men who were congregating after curfew on a road near a mosque in Karbala, Iraq. The Iraqis opened fire killing three soldiers and wounding seven others. Kim received a bachelor's degree from Baylor University and a master's in public administration from Central Michigan University. He enlisted in the Army as a military policeman in 1982 and was commissioned at Fort Benning, Ga., in 1986. He served in the 1991 Persian Gulf War, and rose quickly to the rank of lieutenant colonel. He was picked to study at the FBI’s National Academy in Quantico, Va. — an exclusive honor for military policemen. He previously had served as deputy provost marshal at Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers Europe in Belgium and as a military police instructor at Fort McClellan, Ala., and with MP detachments in Germany. Kim never hesitated to lead his soldiers personally, whether on a three-mile run in below-freezing temperatures or on patrol in the streets of Karbala. His battalion comprised no fewer than 400 soldiers, and he made it a point to learn the name of each one. His soldiers and his family were paramount to Orlando. When not on duty, he spent as much time as possible with his wife, Sherry, and his two sons, 16 and 10. Once, it was mentioned to Kim on a sweltering summer afternoon that the air conditioning was out in several MP guard shacks at Fort Campbell. Soon, Kim’s pickup truck was seen "brimming over" with air conditioners to cool the shacks. Another time, he asked to be excused from an important meeting. When he was asked for a reason, Kim gave a muffled response. When asked to speak up, he replied, "I've got to take my wife to a Barry Manilow concert." Kim was posthumously awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart.
