Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: When North Korea attacked the South on June 25, 1950, United States forces in East Asia were under the command of General Douglas MacArthur, whose largest ground force was Eighth US Army. This army fought a tenacious defense of South Korea, counterattacked north to the Yalu River with the separate X Corps, before falling back in the face of massive Chinese intervention, conducted a war of movement, and settled into a bloody two-year long period of static warfare. This title examines the combat mission, organization, and evolution of the Eighth US Army in Korea and its 300,000 US ground forces through highly detailed orders of battle, tables of organization and equipment, and examinations of crucial aspects such as doctrine, training, and tactics.

Book excerpt: In commemoration of the fiftieth anniversary of the Korean War, the official history offices of the U.S. Army, Navy, Marine Corps, and Air Force and their respective historical associations collaborated to sponsor as comprehensive a symposium as possible, including as participants some of the coalition partners who contributed forces and weapons to the war. The intent of this symposium, titled Coalition Air Warfare during the Korean War, 1950 -1953, was to focus not only on the contributions made by the armed forces of the United States, but also on those of America's allies. The diverse group of panelists and speakers included not only scholars with subject matter expertise, but also veteran soldiers, sailors, and airmen who had served in that conflict. It was hoped that the melding of these diverse perspectives would provide interesting, if sometimes conflicting, views about the Korean War. The symposium organizers designated an agenda of six specific panels for investigation, including Planning and Operations; Air Superiority, Air Support of Ground Forces; Air Interdiction and Bombardment, Air Reconnaissance and Intelligence, and Logistical Support of Air Operations. Each session began with commentary by the panel chairman, which was followed by formal papers, and in some instances included a lively question and answer session. The papers and most of the proceedings found their way into print and are recorded here in an effort to permanently capture the activities, challenges, contributions, and heroics of the coalition air forces and the airmen who fought during the Korean conflict.

Book excerpt: The "Retreads" is a story of U.S. Marine Corps veterans of World War II who enlisted in the Marine Corps Volunteer Reserve Force. Five years later they would become involved in a cold war which developed into the United Nations Korean War. At the time of enlistment they were told that Marines serving in the inactive reserve without pay or promotions would only be subject to active duty in time of a declared war. On June 19, 1950, U.S. Ambassador John Foster Dulles spoke to a disturbed audience, the Korean National Assembly. The American people give you their support, both moral and material . . . You are not alone you will never be alone.' Six days later on June 25, 1950, North Korea invaded South Korea with 135,000 men, initiating the Korean War. The South Korean Army estimated at 100,000 men, with 50,000 armed police was demoralized and unable to mount any semblance of defense against the invading forces In four days, the city of Seoul was in the hands of the well-trained communist armies from the north. The invaders would have swept to Pusan if U.S. Army ground forces stationed in Japan had not been sent by President Truman on his own authority to fight a delaying action. General Douglas McArthur, the U.S. Army Commander in the Far East, was named Commander in Chief of the United Nations Ground Forces consisting of elements from nineteen nations. The cold war became a hot war. South Korea, after less than five years of independence from the Japanese Empire was fighting for its life and freedom. On June 27, 1950, President Truman ordered air and sea support for South Korea. On June 30, 1950, he followed with orders and authorization to use U.S. Army ground troops (many with no combat experience) against the invaders. The scope of the war expanded and U.S. casualties mounted as experience troops fought against a well-trained enemy. Replacement and reinforcement troops were needed, however trained drafted men were not available as the selective service had only been asked to furnish 20,000 troops. Meanwhile in other far east events Chinese Reds threatened to fight against the U.S. 7th Fleet that President Truman had ordered to defend Formosa and Communists in Japan were rioting against Japanese authority. General MacArthur asked the U.S. Marine Corps to augment hard pressed Army forces. The Marine Corps 500,000 men strong in WWII, now 74,000 men, formed the lst Provisional Brigade to send to Korea, called up its organized reserve forces, and committed the entire lst Marine Division for Korean service withing six weeks. With the start of the Korean War a Presidential Order was issued to extend all military enlistments and on July 26, 1950 U.S. Armed Services stated that it will try to get along without draftees. On July 29, 1950, Draft officials said that thousands failed to respond to their draft notices . . . almost 42%. On August 8, 1950, the Marine Corps with its sights set on a mobilized strength of 174,000 by October 31, 1950 began writing orders to duty for 50,000 officers and men of the 80,000 Volunteer Reserve Force. The reserve Marines, now with families, had established themselves in all walks of civilian life. Now accountants, merchants, firemen, policemen, teachers, lawyers, etc. would have their lives totally disrupted. Faced with financial hardships due to recall at a rank and pay scale held four to five years ago, many would be unable to make home and automobile payments. On October 2, 1950, Technical Sergeant Robert L. Mason reported for duty at Camp Joseph H. Pendleton, USMC and was assigned as a Platoon Sergeant to process recalled reserves back into the military life. During the fall months of 1950 Camp Pendleton was the site where thousands of U.S. Marine Corps reserves would be retreaded and processed back into ranks. &n
