1. Situation in Brief:
GROUND
In the southern sector, the 6th North Korean Division plus at least
2 North Korean regiments are heavily engaging the 25th U.S. Infantry Divi-
sion along its entire front, with the enemy making some minor gains against
the 5th and 24th U.S. RCT's, and a 6,000 yard penetration into the 35th U.S.
RCT's sector. These RCT's, plus the 27th U.S. RCT, are counterattacking
and have partially restored some positions. The 2d U.S. Infantry Division
was heavily engaged by elements of three enemy divisions during the after-
noon of 1 September, followed by a fairly quiet night. The 1st U.S. Cavalry
Division continued defense of its sector and dispersed enemy patrols. The
1st and 6th ROK Divisions made small gains against continued enemy re-
sistance. The enemy made slight gains between the ROK Capitol and the
3d ROK Divisions, but an attack by both Divisions at 0900/02 (KT) made
some progress against moderate resistance. (FECOM) (SECRET)

United Nations' surface ships patrolled the east, south, and west
coasts of Korea. Shore bombardment was delivered where it was requested.
Aircraft from PHILIPPINE SEA and VALLEY FORGE continued striking
