1. Situation in Brief:
The U.N. drive on Pyongyang maintained its momentum, as each
of the 3 spearheads registered substantial gains. Leading elements of the
1st U.S. Cavalry Division, swinging northwestward toward Sariwon, reached
Sinmak. The 1st ROK Division drove an estimated enemy regiment rein-
forced by tanks to the northwest as it advanced steadily toward Suan.
Meanwhile, the 8th ROK Division advanced 8 miles north of Koksan without
opposition. The Capitol and 3d ROK Divisions maintained the Wonsan
perimeter, and probed 6 miles north of Yonghung. Mine sweeping operations
continued on both coasts, but no new sightings were reported. THESEUS
planes hit road, railroad, and communications targets north of Sariwon
and south of Chinnampo, while TF 77 aircraft on the east coast concentrated
on transportation targets. Naval air flew 392 carrier and 27 Marine air
group sorties on 15 October; and FEAF aircraft flew 441 effective sorties,
including 251 combat. Twenty-seven B-29's attacked highway, rail, and
interdiction targets in the Pyongyang area with excellent results. (FECOM)
