a. General: UN forces repulsed all hostile probing attacks and
continued to engage squad- to company-size enemy groups in patrol clashes,
two of which were seven-hour engagements. Task Force Paik was desig-
nated the ROK II Corps effective 051200 (KT). It passed from operational
control IX US Corps to control of the Eighth Army and assumed responsi-
bility for the sectors of the 6th, Capitol, and 3d ROK Divisions. The new
II ROK Corps has a southern boundary running least and west approximately
nine miles south of Hwachon. The boundary between the I and IX US Corps
was moved slightly to the west, and the 9th ROK Division passed to opera-
tional control of the IX US Corps effective 051200 (KT). (FECOM) (SECRET)
