JOINT SITREP NO. 555
(Maps attached)
From 0700/24 Nov (EST) to 0700/26 Nov (EST)
From 2100/24 Nov (Korea) to 2100/26 Nov (Korea)
1. Weather:
Weather for the two-day period ranged from marginal to nonoperational.
There was overcast, multi-layer cloud cover, and rain throughout the first
and most of the second day. (FEAF) (SECRET)
2. Enemy Situation:
Enemy activity diminished and continued relatively light throughout the
period® The principal fighting occurred in the vicinity of HILL 391, northeast
of CHORWON, where enemy groups of up to company strength made three at-
tacks against a UN OP position on the south slope, twice forcing UN elements
to withdraw. In each instance, however, UN elements later reoccupied the
position without contact. Elsewhere across the front, minor probes and scat-
tered patrol clashes were reported. Hostile mortar and artillery fire for the
period totaled approximately 12, 600 rounds, of which about 4, 700 fell in the
IX US Corps sector and about 2, 600 in the II ROK Corps sector. Sightings of
enemy vehicle traffic totaled 5, 724, of which 4, 624 were southbound. (FECOM)

3. United Nations Situation:
ARMY:
Northeast of CHORWON, UN troops were sporadically engaged in a see-
saw fight for an OP position on the south slope of HILL 391 during the period.
Elsewhere across the front, UN forces maintained positions and continued ag-
gressive patrol and raider operations against generally light opposition. UN
raider operations were highlighted by a company-strength raiding party of the
1st British Commonwealth Division engaging an undetermined number of enemy
for 7 hours and 20 minutes in the area northwest of YONCHON during the night
of 24-25 November. (FECOM) (SECRET)
