1. Weather:
Multi-layered clouds conditions prevailed during the period, with
occasional ceilings as low as 1, 500 feet. Visibility generally was 6 to 8
miles, except when fog and rain occasionally restricted it to one to three
miles. Broken high and scattered low clouds are forecast, with visibility
unrestricted after 0900 hours. (FEAF) (SECRET)
2. Enemy Situation:
Enemy forces launched five successive company-strength attacks
in the vicinity of Kumsong on the night of 19 June. These attacks, supported
by artillery and mortar fire and by tank or self-propelled guns, succeeded
in taking part of the objective. Another attack by an estimated two enemy
companies on this same position on 21 June was repulsed. An estimated
enemy regiment supported by heavy artillery, mortar and tank fire attacked
positions of the 45th US Division west of Chorwon on the night of 20-21 June.
These attacks were repulsed and enemy forces withdrew. Elsewhere across
the front throughout the period enemy forces launched numerous scattered
probing attacks and offered strong resistance to United Nations patrols. The
reported total of enemy mortar and artillery fire during the period was
24, 455 rounds. The heaviest fire was in the I US and II ROK Corps sectors.
The adjusted total vehicle sightingsfor the period is 10, 925, of which 5, 675
were southbound. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
United Nations forces patrolled aggressively across the front, and
raiding parties from platoon to reinforced-company strength encountered
determined enemy resistance, particularly in the west central sector. An
attack by a regiment of the 9th ROK Division five miles north of Chorwon on
22 June was opposed by an estimated enemy regiment but succeeded in tem-
porarily occupying the objective. (FECOM) (SECRET)
