1. Weather:
The weather for the period 16-18 September began non-operational and im-
proved to operational by the end of the period. On the first two days there were
low clouds and heavy rain in the combat area. By the third day it was clear
throughout the area. (FEAF) (SECRET)
2. Enemy Situation:
With the exception of a brief flurry of action on 18 September, enemy ac-
tivity was limited to scattered, brief, probing attacks in squad and platoon strength
and to patrol clashes up to two-platoon strength. In the central sector, southeast
of KUMSONG, on the morning of 18 September, an undetermined number of enemy
were driven from positions on Finger Ridge (six miles southeast of KUMSONG).
Hostile mortar and artillery fire for the three-day period was light, totalling
only 12, 773 rounds. For the week 12-18 September, enemy mortar and artillery
fire totalled 61, 365 rounds, over half of which fell in the II ROK Corps sector on
the front. Sightings of enemy vehicles totalled 9, 800, of which 5, 837 were south
bound. (FECOM) (SECRET)
3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
The Capitol ROK Division launched an attack in two-company strength
against an unknown number of enemy on Finger Ridge (six miles southeast of
KUMSONG) on the early morning of 18 September. The enemy was forced to with-
draw, and UN forces advanced further toward the crest. However, an enemy
counterattack in unknown strength forced the UN troops to withdraw to the first
position taken. Elsewhere, UN elements maintained positions, repulsed scattered
probing attacks, and continued patrol operations against light opposition across
the front. (FECOM) (SECRET)
