2. United Nations Situation:
GROUND
a. U.S. I Corps: On 31 January, hostile resistance to the
United Nations offensive continued to be stubborn in mountainous terrain,
but was practically nil on the flanks. During the morning of 1 February,
the attack of U.S. I and IX Corps units was seriously restricted by weather.
In some localities visibility was less than 50 yards; in spite of this, some
progress was reported. Forward elements of the 25th U.S. Infantry Divi-

on 31 January. An enemy attack in company strength against elements of
the 15th ROK Regiment 6 miles north of Suwon was broken up by artillery
fire. By darkness on 31 January, units of the Turkish Brigade had ad-

RCT occupied a line 6 miles northwest of Suwon without opposition. In the
3d U.S. Infantry Division area, the majority of the front line units were
heavily engaged with the eneray northeast of Suwon. The 1st Battalion,
65th U.S. RCT, overcame stubborn resistance and drove the enemy from
a hill 3 miles northeast of Suwon after a four hour fight. Other elements
of the 65th RCT encountered light to moderate resistance while advancing
to positions 5 miles northeast of Suwon. An enemy company repulsed a
friendly attack in the same general area, but other elements of the 15th
U.S. Infantry RCT drove company-sized enemy units from high ground 6
to 8 miles northeast of Suwon after overcoming stubborn resistance.
