Chipyong-ni
This is a story of the Infantry and its supporting
Brothers-in-Arms in Korea. While it is a story of one infantry
regiment, its experiences have been shared by the many regiments
that fought on this rugged peninsula in actions as ferocious
and desperate as any in the anneals of history. It is the
story of a team, a fighting team, for it is the team.......

Hill 1243 - Heartbreak
Ridge
Combat Information
CRITIQUE OF THE BATTLE FOR HILL 1243
Extract of letter, 16 October 1951, from the
former Commanding General, X Corps.
At my suggestion before I left the Far East,
a regimental executive in Korea prepared a critique of the
battle for Hill 1243, known as "Heartbreak Ridge," which occurred
on 3 September 1951. I believe this critique contains manyh
valuable combat lessons, and illustrates a problem of tactical
air support.
This battle is a fine example of commanders
and troups making maximum use of the means available to overcome
obstacales in the particular situations which confronts them.

The following was reported by 40th ID 3rde Bde
Alumni Assoc. They obtained it from the Military Press newspaper
dated 5/1/01 obtained at Moffett Field, CA
US POW/MIA-KOREA: DOD specialist arrived in
North Korea to begin operations to recover the remains of
servicemen missing in action from the Korean War. The 28 person
team from Army Identification Laboratory Hawaii will be there
30 days. If remains are recovered they will be airlifted from
Pyongyang, and repatriated at the end of this month (May).
The US and Korean agreement calls for 10 joint recovery operations.
Eight of the operations will be in the areas of Unsan, Kaechon
and Kujang where 1st Cavalry, 2nd
Infantry and 25th Infantry fought in November 1950.
Two operations will be on the east and west sides of the Chosin
Reservoir in North Korea. Analysts believe that as many as
750 U.S. soldiers and Marines may have been lost in Nov-Dec.
1950 near Chosin. So far the joint efforts have recovered
107 sets of remains since 1996. Eight have been identified
and returned to their families for burial with full military
honors. About 10 more are in the final stages of forensic
identification. More than 8,100 American servicemen are still
missing in action from the Korean War.
