1. Situation in Brief
GROUND
Strong enemy pressure has been felt throughout the eastern sector
with the 3d and 8th ROK Divisions forced to withdraw at one point from 600
to 2,000 yards. The ROK Capitol Division was able to hold its positions
against enemy counterattacks. In the center sector, 1st U.S. Cavalry Divi-
sion elements were repulsed in a night attack, while one regiment of the 6th
ROK Division was forced to withdraw 5,000 yards before an enemy penetra-
tion was contained. Increased activity and movement are reported in the 2d
U.S. Infantry Division sector, with the 38th U.S. RCT carrying out probing
attacks on the Hyonpung bridgehead. In the 25th U.S. Infantry Division sector,
lost positions were restored by the 1st battalion, 24th U.S. RCT, with the rest
of the Division engaging in patrolling and minor fire fights. (FECOM) (SECRET)
NAVY
Navy aircraft struck the Korean west coast from newly shifted carriers,
hitting railroad lines, railroad equipment, shipping, and other targets. Along
the north and center sectors of the front lines, Navy aircraft from the SICILY
hit enemy attacks on friendly positions and forced the enemy to take cover.
Harassing, interdiction, neutralization, and individual target fire from the
HAMNER off Pohang and from the ENDICOTT off the south coast helped relieve
the strong enemy pressure in those sectors and Navy air and surface forces
patrolled Korean and Formosan waters around the clock. (COMNAVFE)(SECRET)
AIR
During the 24 hour period ending 2400, 30 August FEAF flew 484 sorties,
including 320 combat. During the night of 30-31 August, 26 intruder sorties
were flown. On 31 August, FEAF Bomber Command dispatched 91 B-29's.
