3. Operations:
Enemy Situation
a. More detailed information is now available on enemy disposi-
tions on the east coast as of 1200/05(KT). Yangyang north of the 38th
parallel appears to be the base of enemy east coast activity. In addition to
the estimated 1 regiment, supported by tanks, in Samchok, one infantry
regiment in Okkye, and one infantry battalion in Mukhojin, the enemy has
an estimated 1,700 men fanning out from Utchin, with one column of 1,000
reportedly moving south along the east coast and two other columns of
400 and 300 respectively moving westward. At Chongsong, 200 enemy
troops are reported, and 400 at Pohang. These reports of increased east
coast activity indicate a possible buildup for a flanking attack. (FECOM)

b. The rear area movement of the enemy on 5 July indicated gen-
eral reinforcement of enemy troops, artillery, tanks and supplies. (FE-
COM) (SECRET)
C. According to unconfirmed press reports, the North Koreans
are south of Pyongtaek on the highway to Taejon. Unconfirmed press re-
ports also state that the North Korean ground and air forces were compara-
tively quiet the night of 6-7 July (KT).
d. As of 0800/07(KT), according to FEAF, there was a large enemy
movement south from Kumyangjang to Ansong. The same report stated that
a 10-mile-long convoy, extending north from Pyongtaek, included 40 to 50
tanks and heavy track-drawn artillery resembling "155-mm. long toms"
