with some penetration. On 11 May, air observed a 28-mile smoke screen
north of the Hwachon Reservoir and reported new airstrip construction in
enemy rear areas. A total of 2756 enemy vehicles were sighted during

a. General: ROK units on the UN right flank continued vigor-
ous engagements with stubborn enemy groups. Some slight friendly with-
drawals took place under heavy enemy pressure, but activity had slackened
by the end of the period. Elsewhere across the Eighth Army front, friendly
patrols ranged up to twenty miles ahead of front lines. The 3d US Infantry
Division moved from the I US Corps to the IX US Corps sector as Army
reserve. (FECOM) (SECRET)
