I don't know what the term would be in Hangul, but the US soldiers stationed in Korea typically referred to them as "ROKs" (Republic of Korea). If denoting individual branches, it would be "ROK Army", "ROK Marines", "ROK Air Force", etc., just as we'd refer to them as "ROK soldier", "ROK officer", etc. In addressing the rank of ROK military personnel, we'd more often refer to them by the US equivalent to their rank, rather than the Hangul name for their rank.

There's also the instance of KATUSA soldiers - Korean Augmentees To the United States Army - ROK Army personnel assigned to US units to act as interpreters and such.
