1. Situation in Brief:
GROUND
The entire 25th U.S. Infantry Division is holding its original MLR,
although the enemy continues harassing the Division's rear area. The enemy
is stubbornly resisting a counterattack by the 9th U.S. RCT and elements of
the 1st Provisional Marine Brigade in the 2d U.S. Infantry Division sector.
However, a counterattack of the 23d U.S. RCT reached the Naktong River,
and the 38th U.S. RCT was holding firm. The 7th U.S. Cavalry RCT regained
positions which had previously been lost in the 1st U.S. Cavalry Division
sector, and the 8th U.S. Cavalry RCT remained under heavy enemy pressure.
An enemy attack forced the limited withdrawal of the 11th ROK Regiment in
the northern sector, but the remaining units were holding their positions
against strong enemy resistance. Enemy locations in the ROK Capitol Divi-
sion area remained uncertain, and heavy enemy pressure continued against
the 3d ROK Division. The 21st U.S. RCT is engaging the enemy in Angang.
