GROUND:
a. General: Friendly patrols ranged 3, 000 to 4, 000 yards ahead
of the front lines in the X Corps sector and established an advance base four
miles south of Pyonggang in the I Corps. The Netherlands Battalion was
relieved northeast of Yanggu by elements of the 38th Infantry Regiment (2d
US Division) and closed in an assembly area near Inje. (FECOM) (SECRET)
b. I US Corps: Patrols from the 1st ROK Division continued to
encounter squad- to platoon-size enemy groups east of Kaesong. The 1st
British Commonwealth Division and attached Belgian Battalion had no con-
tact with the enemy. Patrols of the 1st US Cavalry Division engaged hostile
platoons northwest of Yonchon and placed artillery fire on other enemy
groups in the same area. Elements of the 3d and 25th US Infantry Divisions
patrolled north of the horwon-Kumhwa line against light to moderate op-
position from enemy groups of up to platoon size. A 25th Division patrol
base was established four miles south of Fyonggang. (FECOM) (SECRET)
