1. Situation in Brief
The U.S. Eighth Army attack jumped off on schedule, with early
reports indicating that U.S. I and IX Corps have made considerable pro-
gress with no hostile reaction. Air reported that élements of the 24th
U.S. Infantry Division had scored gains of 3 to 4 miles; elements of
the 25th U.S. Infantry Division were 2 miles forward of the line of depart-
ure; while the 2d U.S. Infantry Division made advances up to 4-1/2 miles.
In the U.S. X Corps Zone, the Capitol ROK Division advanced against light
resistance to within 1 mile of Nanam; elements of the 32d U.S. RCT ad-
vanced over icy roads unopposed to Samsu; the 5th U.S. Marine Regiment
continued to advance northward on the east side of the Changjin Reservoir,
while the progress of the 7th U.S. Marine Regiment on the west side was
impeded by snow drifts and numerous roadblocks; and the 26th ROK Regi-
ment made slight gains against stubbornly resisting enemy forces in the
Huksu area. ST PAUL and ENGLISH continued harassing and interdiction
fire in support of the Capitol ROK Division. Naval air flew 202 sorties on
22 and 23 November, and U.N. aircraft under FEAF control flew a total of
835 sorties, including 324 combat. (FECOM) (SECRET)
