Battle Analysis, Yongsan, Rear Area Operations (24th Infantry Division 11-13 August 1950),

Abstract

An ad hoc formation of combat engineers and rear area troops was given the mission of securing a nine-mile portion of the MSR between the 24th Division headquarters and forward units. This force established road blocks and attempted to hold the MSR, but they were attacked in force by organized North Korean units. This is a good vehicle to study how combat service support personnel performed a rear area security mission. This example provides lessons for command and control, adequacy of forces and training of rear area personnel. (Author)
