1. Weather:
On 18 September, 7/10 clouds with bases 3, 000 feet to 7,000 tops
existed. Clouds dissipated rapidly, weather becoming clear over all
Korea early in the morning of the 19th. Forecast: Scattered clouds with
bases at 2, 000 feet, tops at 7,000 feet. Visibility eight miles except
during early morning fog in valleys. (FEAF) (SECRET)
2. Enemy Situation:
Enemy activity continued strong in the east-central sector, where
numerous probing attacks were made upon UN positions, forcing some
slight withdrawals. Activity was also strong in the western sector near
Chorwon, where determined battalion-size groups resisted from dug-in
positions, and company-strength counterattacks were made upon advanc-
ing UN units, forcing withdrawals to perimeter defenses. The adjusted
total of enemy vehicle sightings for 17-18 September is 463, of which 326
were moving south. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
a. General: UN forces continued to attack in the east-central
sector north of Yanggu and Sohwa making slight gains in some areas, but
being forced to withdraw slightly in other areas in heavy fighting. Company-
strength enemy counterattacks near Chorwon were repulsed. Elsewhere
across the front, UN forces continued aggressive patrolling to seek out
enemy strong points and defensive positions. The boundary between the
I US Corps and the IX US Corps has been moved slightly to the west in
the Chorwon-Kumhwa area, so that it now runs generally northward along
the Hantan River to a point four miles east of Chorwon, then generally
northward toward Pyonggang. (FECOM) (SECRET)
