Washington, D. C.
24 November 1952
JOINT SITREP NO. 554
(Maps attached)
From 0700/20 Nov (EST) to 0700/24 Nov (EST)
From 2100/20 Nov (Korea) to 2100/24 Nov (Korea)
1. Weather:
Weather throughout the period was generally operational and clear,
except for part of 20 and 23 November when there was considerable
cloud cover with rain. Temperatures ranged from a low of 17° to a
high of 52° F. (FEAF) (SECRET)
2. Enemy Situation:
Enemy activity continued moderately heavy in the west-central sector
where enemy forces of up to battalion-strength launched attacks against UN
positions on SNIPER RIDGE on the first, second, and fourth days of the
period, and numerous attacks of platoon and two-platoon strength were made
against UN positions on ROCKY POINT (just east of SNIPER RIDGE) through
out the period. Northeast of CHORWON, enemy attacks of undetermined
strength forced UN elements to withdraw from OP positions on HILL 391,
on 22 November, but enemy elements later withdrew and UN elements re-
occupied position without contact. Subsequent enemy attacks on 23 November
were repulsed. In the west sector, on 21 November, an enemy reinforced
company attacked an OP position of the 1st ROK Division, 14 miles south-
west of CHORWON, and forced UN elements to withdraw. Here, too, enemy
elements withdrew and the position was reoccupied by UN troops without
contact. At the same location, on 23 November, this action was duplicated.
Elsewhere across the front, sporadic probing attacks of less than company
strength, and scattered minor patrol clashes were highlighted by several
engagements of up to three hours duration in the central sector, near the
PUKHAN RIVER® Hostile mortar and artillery fire for the period totalled
approximately 34, 300 rounds of which almost 15, 700 fell in the IX US Corps
