The 1st Marine Division played a significant role in the Korean War (1950-1953), demonstrating resilience and valor in challenging conditions. Activated in February 1941, the division was composed of seasoned veterans from World War II.
In September 1950, during the early stages of the war, the 1st Marine Division executed the amphibious landing at Inchon, a pivotal military maneuver led by General Douglas MacArthur. This bold move allowed UN forces to push back North Korean troops and recapture Seoul.
The division faced intense combat at the Battle of Chosin Reservoir in late 1950, enduring harsh weather conditions and fierce enemy attacks. Despite being surrounded by Chinese forces, the Marines conducted a fighting withdrawal, showcasing their tenacity. This battle is remembered for the "Chosin Few" and their determination in the face of adversity.
Throughout the war, the 1st Marine Division participated in various operations, contributing to the overall UN effort. They played a crucial role in stabilizing the front lines and engaging in offensive actions.
The Korean Armistice Agreement was signed in July 1953, bringing an end to the hostilities. The 1st Marine Division had made significant contributions during the conflict, but it came at a cost, with many Marines sacrificing their lives.
Here are some key events:
