By direction of the President, under the act of Congress approved 1} .July 1918 (WD Bul. 43, l!U8) , the Medal of I1onor for conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity at the risk of life above and beyond the call of duty is awarded posthumously by the Department of the Army in the name of Congress to the following-named enlisted man:

Sergeant lVilHam R. JeceZin (Service No. RA13277t>4t5), Company 0, 35th Infantry Hegiment, United States Army, distinp;uished himself by conspicuous gallantry and intrepidity above and beyond the call of duty in action against the enemy near Saga, Korea, on 19 September 1950. Ilis company was ordered to secure a prominent, saw-toothed ridge from a welHmtrcnched and heavily armed enemy force. Unable to capture the objective in the first attempt, a frontal and flanking assault was launched. Sergeant Jecelin led his platoon thrOl.1gh heavy enemy fire and bursting shells, across rice fields and roeky terrain, in direct frontal attack on the ridge in order to draw fire away from the flanks. The unit advanced to the base of the cliff, where intense, accurate hostile fire stopped the attack, Realizing that an assanlt was the only solution, Sergeant JeceUn rose from his positklll, firing his rifle and throwing grenades as he called on hi s men to follow him. Despite the intense enemy fire, this attack cal'l'ied to the crest of the ridge, where the men were forced to take cover. Again he rallied bis men and stormed the enemy strong pOint. With fixed bayonets, they charged into the face of anti-tank fire and engaged the enemy in hantI-to-hand combat. After clubbing and slashing this force into submission, the platoon was forced to take cover from direct frontal fire of a self-propelled gun. RefUSing to be stopped, Sergeant Jecelin leaped to his feet and, throngh sheer personal courage and fierce determination, led his men in a new attack, At this inst}lllCe a well-camouflaged enemy soldier threw a grenade at the remaining members of the platoon. He immediately lunged and covered the grenade with his hody, absorbing the full force of the explosion to save those around him. This hlCredible courage and willingness to sacrifice himself for his comrades so imbued them with fury that they completely eliminated the enemy force. Sergeant ,leceHn'8 heroic leadership and outstand~ ing gallantry reflect the highest credit on himself and uphold the esteemed traditions of the military service.

When an enemy assault cut off and surrounded his unit, he voluntarily made a recon~ naissance of a nearby hill under intense enemy fire to locate friendly troop positions and obtain information of the enemy's strength andlocatioll. Finding that friendly troops were not on the hm, he worked hi'S way back to his unit under heavy fire. Later, when an airdrop of 'Water was made outside the perimeter, he again braved enemy fire in an attempt to retrie...-e water for his unit. Finding the dropped cans broken and de...-oid of water, he returned to his unit. His heroic attempt greatly increased his com ... rades' morale. When ammunition and grenades ran lOW,

Private Ouellette again slipped out of the perimeter to collect these from the enemy dead. After collecting grenades he was attacked by an enemy soldier. He killed this enemy in hand-to-hand combat. gathered up the ammunition, and returned to his unit. When the enemy attacked on 3 September, they assaulted hi::; position with grenade::;. On six occasions Private Ouellette leaped from his fox hole to escape exploding grenades. In doing so, he had to face enemy smaU-arms fire. He continued his resist~ ance, despite a severe wound, until he lost his life. The extraordinary heroism and intrepidity displayed by Pri ... vate OueUette reflect the highest credit on himself and are in keeping with the esteemed traditions of the military service.

",VD Bul. 11, 11)42), ciLation of the fol1owing unit in the general orders indicated is connrmed in accordance \vith AI{ 260--15 in the nUlle of the President of the United States as public evidence of desel'ved honor and distinction. The citation reads as follows:

The l;st iJattalion and Troop a were defending a vcry criti('al sector of the battle front during a uetlmnined attack by the enemy. The defending units were o\"erwhelmingly outnumbered. The G3d Chinese Communist Army drove the full force of its SUyugc assault at the positions held by the Ht BattfLlion, Glouccs· ters7li-FG Regiment, and atl-ached unit. The rouh! of supply ran southeast from the battalion belween two hills. The hills uominated the surrounding teJ'rain northwest of thf! IllljiIl Eiver. Enemy pressllre built up on the battalion front during the day, 23 April. On 24 April, the weight of the attack had driven the right flank of the battalion back. The- pressure grew hca'Vier and beavier and the baUalion and attachcd unit weJ'e forced into a perimeter defense on Hill 23t5. During: the llight, heavy enemy forces had bypassed the staunch defenders and dosed all uyenucs of escape. The courageous soldiers of the battalion and attached unit were holdillg the critical route selected by the enemy fol' one column of the general offcnsiYe designed to encircle and destroy I Corps These gallaut soldiers would not retreat. As they wcre compressed tighter and tighter in their perimeter defense, thcy called for clo:::;e-in ail' strikes to assist in holding firm. Completl~ly SUl'l'oullIied by tremendous numlJers, these indomitable, resolute, and tenacious soldiers fought back with unsurpassed fortitude and courage. As ammunition ran low an!l the advancing hordes moved closer and closer, these sllhml1id soldiers fought hack viciom:.lr to prevent the enemy [rom overrunning the pOsition and moving rapidly to the south. 'l'beil' heroic stand pro· vided the criLically needed time to regroup other I Corps units and .block the southern advance of the enemy_ 'l'ime and again efforts ... vere made to reach the baUalion, but the encmy streng,th blocked each effort. Without thought of defeat or sU1'l'ender, thh; Ler0ic force demonstrated superb battlefield courage and iliscipline. Evcry yard of ground they surrendered was covered with enemy dead until the last gallnnt soldiel' of the fighting battalion was o'Yerpowered by the final surge of the enemy masses. The 18t Battalion.

The 25th Replacement COml)any, 25th Infantry Division, is cited for exception. ally meritorious eonduct in the performance of oUt8tanding service in Korea for a 6-month continuous period from July 1950 to February 1951. During this period, the 25th Replacement Company processed ov~r 20,500 replacements for the 25th Infantry Div-is'ion. TIle processing involved receiving, equipping, and giving a brief course of orientation for immediate entry into combat. AU records of the replacements were screened and brought up 10 the highest standards. Despite the difficulties of transportation, weather, supply, and numerous movements of the company caused by the tactical situation, the mi8sion was expeditiously and skillfully accomplished. In addition to the normal replacements, 4,200 Republic of Korea troops were processed for integralion into tbe division. \Vhen the rest and recuperalion program to ,Tapan was initiated, the company pl'ovided fac-ilittes· for reception, equipping, and shipment: of as nmny as 300 soldiers at" one time. '.rile spirit of cooperation, devotion to duty, and the unfailing excellence of the work of all members of the company contJ'ibnted essentially to the immelliale combat effectiveness of the division and to the general moralo of the organic \lnit.~. The successful, extraordinary, and distinctly meritorious achievements stand as exemplary criteria in the processing of personnel replacements and bring notewortIly credit to the 25th Repracement Company, 25th Tnfantry Division, llnd the military service of the Unite!l Stah~s.

REPUBLIC OF KOREA PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION awarded by citation dated 2 October 1950, by Syngman Rhea, President of the Republic of Korea., for outstanding and superior performance of duty during the period 4 July 1950 to 2 October 1950, inclusive, with citation as follows: For the magnificent manner in which

Headquarters, Eighth United States Army, accomplished its most difficult task in Korea. From the first commitment in battle of units of the Bighth Army and other United Nations Forces on 4 July 1950 to the crossing of the Thirty-eighth Parallel by units of the Republic of Korea on the night of 1~2 October 1950, the entire Headquarters of the Eighth Army has served with marked accompLishment and distinction. With few hours notice, staff experts were drawn from their normal mmtary duties and responsi~ hilities, rushed from distant shores by air and sea, and committed to battle direction against a determined, well-trained and ruthless enemy. Courageous soldiers found themselves confronted with many logistical and tactical difficulties of the most exacting nature. Command and staff funct·oning of the battle front was fluid because of the suddenness of the attack. Locating the enemy, learning his battle plan, and preparing counter measures were executed under severe handicaps. Transportation, communications, evacuation and logistical support were probleIllil of the most significant nature. Troops found themselves in terrain and under climatic conditions which exacted heavy toll and made each individual act a heroic or meritorious one. Under these most severe military Lests and adverse condition-s, the valiant soldiers of the Headquarters, Eighth Army, wOlked relentlessly against numerically superior and fanatically

driven forces. Reconna.issance by air a.nd road wa.s limited by time and the shorlagc of military maps. By aggres.~ive planning and direction the enemy spearheads were gradually sought out, and with dciermined fortitude and courage, units were locked in battle across the rivers and valleys, through streets and villages, and over the peaks of mountains. Despite superior numbers and repeated attempts, the enemy was unsuccessful in penetrating the Taegu perimeter defense. Headquarters, Eighth Army, work· ing under adverse conditiona directed the battles which raged across the now famous Naktong River and along the northern limits to Pohangdong, wearing down the enemy and giving time to acquire essential supplies and troop strength for the offensive so anxiously desired. :Finally, after superior accomplishment, a planned offensive wa." unleashed with such power, fury and aggressive follow-up, that the enemy was forced into a state of disintegration in a few days. By aggressively directing the exploitations of breakthrough, those not destroyed 'were forced to flee in disorganized bands to the false protection of the land from which they rolled in destructive hordes on 25 June 1950. The Republic of Korea holds in the highest esteem the gallant, heroic and meritorious service of the officers and enli,:;ted men of Headquarters, Eighth United States Army, under whose superior direction the United Nations forces have distinguished themselves on the field of battle in skill, courage and with indomitable spirit. By their extraordinary staff action they have brought the highest credit to themselves and the forces of freedom throughout the world. The government and the people of the Republic of Korea will remember with undying gratitude the truly meritorious services made to sustain their freedom and to thwart despotic aggression in other peace-loving nations.

REPUBLIC OF KOREA PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION awarded by citation dated 29 December 1950, by Syngman Rhee, President of the Republic of Korea, for outstanding and heroic performance of duty on the field of battle during the period 25 June 1950 to 29 December 1950, inclusive, with citation as follows: The Korea Military Advisory Group has

been a vital element in the operations of the Army of the Republic of Korea from the time of the first surprise Communist assault through the difficult days of retreat, then during the triumphant drive north, and again today when the fortunes of war are tempo~ rarHy against us. During all this time the officers and men of the Korea Military Ad~ visory Group have served alongside the officers and men of the Korean Army, giving them invaluable counsel. They have served wherever the battle called: in the front line, at division command posts, and at Army Headqunrters, always developing the most cordial and cooperative relationships with the Korean Army units to which they ha.ve been attached. They have l'Ihared the vicissitudes of the Korean Army, their victories and their defeats. They have suffered the same hardships, the same burning heat, the same bitter cold, the same uncertainties, and the same gallant defiance of the the foe. They have never commanded; they have only advised. That role has required particular strength of character, since in the military service an officer is accustomed to comma.nd but not to ad vise; the adj ustmcut to this sit-uation has indicated character, flexibility of mind and temperament, and a friendship and understanding of the Korean soldier and the Korean civilian which will always be remembered to the lasting glory of the men and officers of the Korea Military Advisory Group. The brilliant performance of duty in combat in Korea of each individual member of the Korea Military Advisory Group has been in accordance with the highest traditions of military service .

The core of these positions ,vas the Gifu strong point most hea.ily defended hostile bastion on the island. Containing this position with a reinforced battalion, the remainder of the l'cg:iment forced its way through almost impassahle jungle terrain to at~ tack the Sea Horse, an important supporting center of resistance in the enemy's defense line.

of tW) railroad tunnels which cut through the north-south ridges on each side o! the vaney, the force halted at darkness. They began organizing and occupying positions around the tunnels. At 0450 hours on 1 February, the Sa Battalion, 2Sd Infantry Regiment! was attacked by a large force of Chinese infantry, screaming, blowing bugles, and advancing under cover of a heavy barrage of moriar and automatic-\Yeapons fire. The eMnese broke througb n gap between Companies I and L of the.'Jd Rattalion, but were immediately t111'O\vn back by a determined counlerattack which the battalion launched at the point of the bayonet. 'l'he enemy deployed more forces EnUI the enUre 374th Chinese Infantry Regiment was committed. They pressed the attack against the position for 8 hours. :Many times they reBched the crest of the ridges only to meet a hail of hand grenades and point-blank fire fi'om the gallant defenders. The crisis carne in the early afternoon with t1le 3d Battalion, 23d Infantry Rco'imenl, still under pressure and no air support ayailable becamic of heavy ground fog. However, nt this time the fog lifted and 24 :fighter aircraft strafed und bombed the enemy. Observed mor~ tar ane. artillery fire \yas placed on the m8RseR of attacking troops. Under this merciless hail of fire, the enemy broke off the engagement and withdrew at 1800 hours on 1 l"ehruary, JURt as a Rupporting United States battalion arrived from the south. On the ncxt day, more than 600 dead Chinese were counted in front of the positions of,the 3d Battalion, 23d Infantry Regiment, and many more were known to llave been ki1led or woundcd. As a result of the gallant stand of the 3d Battalion, 83(1 InfantrY lle.qirnent, the enemy was prevented from breaking through to the wml11and post real' areas. The position was intact, and the 374th Chinese Infantry RegImcnt was practically destroyed. This adion e1tminated 1he 123th Chinese Infantry Division as an effective fighting force, and enabled the 23d Regimental Combat Team to continue its advance. The extraordinary heroism, aggressivenes!':, find determination displayed by the 3d Battalion, 2Sd Infa.ntry Re!J'iment, 2d Infantry DiviSion, rf'fiect great credit on itself and each courageom; soldier, and are in 1{eeping with the fine combat traditions of the United States Army.

The 3d Battalion, 18"(llL Airborne Infantry Reg'iment, and the fonowIng attn.ched units: $il Platoon, Compan1J A, 127lh En[jincC1"~, 187th Airborne lnlantry Regiment, 2d Section, B.1ltilan7: Gun 1-'latoon, Support Com-pan-y, 187th Airborn6 Infantrv Rcgi-nl,ent, are cited for outstanrling performance of duiy in action against the armed enemy neal' Sukchon, Korea from 20 to 22 October 1950. On 20 October, these units were <. 1Jal'! of a for':e wl1kh made an airborne assault behind enemy lines. The nuits parachuted nt 1500 hours and seized their initial objectivE's by 1730 hours, 20 October. On 21 October, the 3d Batta,lion, 18ith Airborne Infantry Regiment, and the nttached units were given the mission of movi.ng south toward Pyongyang to occupy blocking positions and prevent the enemy from escaping to the north. To ~:ccomplisb this mission, it was necessary for the units to move south a distance of 8 miles and at the same Ume clear t.he enemy from the two principal routes of ll.tivance: the railroad and the SeoulPyong;rnng highway. Company I, pIns half of C{)mp~ny :&1, was given the mission of clearing the railroad; Company K, plus half of Company l\l, the main road. Company I (reinforced) mo.ed aggressively to a point north of Opari where it engllged und drove back nn enemy outpost. This uncovcred a well dug-in enemy force by battalion size supported by heuyy mortars and 40-mm guns. Company I (reinforced) pressed its attack, but 311 enemy flanking attack

in overwhelming numbers forced the company to take up positIons on the high gronnd to the west to prevent encirclement. In this action, Company I (rcill~

forced) killed 200 enl'!rny and so disrupted the enemy fl.a.nking attack that the enemy broke contact. In the meantime, Company K (reinforced) encountered an enemy force of two companies. The cOIDpan;r'S vIgorous attack forced the ene-my to withdraw to nn area south of Yongyu. In pursuit of the enemy, Company K (relnforcert) moycd into Yongyu and took up positions on the high ground north of the town. In this action, Company K (reinforced) kUled 150 eneilly and captnl'HI a large quantity of enemy Rupplies. During the hours of dflrkness, the enemy regrouped his elements into a force of regimental size. During the period from 0110 to 0400 hours, 22 October, the enemy launched four attacks againt'lt the positions held by Company K (reinforced). All foul' attacks were repulsed with a 10:'18 to the enemy of 100 liilled and many wounded. The enemy rum"ed the bulk of his forces north around the west flank of Comp:my K (reinforced) in an effort to make good hi,,, escape. However, once more he fonnd his route blod{ec1, this time by Company L and Headquarters Company. This attack wflS pressed with fanatical ll.etermination, despite staggering losses. By 1100 hours, the cnemy force had been annihilated by the withering fire from Company L and Headquarters Company.. In front of these two companies lay 450 enemy dead, The action of the .~d BattaUon and attached units during this period rf!sulted in killing 803 enemy, taking 681 prisoners, capturing a Russian-mach'! radar set, thirty-four 82-mm mortars, four 120-mm mortars, 12 cargo truC'ks, and numerolJR machinf'! gnns and rifles. The 239th North Korean Regiment along with remnants of the 2d North Korean Regiment were eliminated as an effective fighting for>::e, The aggressive, determined spirit disphJyed by the members of We 3d RattaHon and attacbed units in the face of overwhelming odds in dosing with and destroying the 'enemy set an exnmp1c for airborne opprations. Their comhined efforts were of such significance that a determined attempt hy the enemy to flee to the north was thwarted. The personal hravery by the members of these units was of "uch compelling Con8€quence that thE'Y distinguished themsel-res on the field of battle and demonstrated a superb mastery of airborne tactics, terrain €Yalnation, and employment of weapons.. The 3d Battalion., 18nh Airborne Tn-fantrll Rff}imcnt, and attached units di:::played such gallantry, determination, and esprit de corps in accomplishing their mission nnder extremely difficult and lWZfll'ilous conditions as to set them apart and above other units participnting in the action. '1'11eir extraordinary heroism and achieyements reflect credit on themselves, their units, and the military senke of tIle "["nited State8..

The 3d Battalion, 397th Infantry Regiment, is cited for outstanding and exceptional accomp~ishment in combat Juring the period 1 to 5 J'"anuary 1045 in the Bitche sector, near Rimling, France, The lOOth Division was aRsigned the mission of defending against an expected enemy c.ttack in force, which hurl as its objecti-re the capture of Sa verne Pass, a vital terrain feature in the SeycnLh Army front. 'I'he 3d Battal-ion, 3f)ith Infantry Regirn('nt, occupied a def~m;ive position on the left flank of tbe division. Suddenly, at midnight on ::-';ew Year's Eve, the cnemy (17th SB pz Gt'en Div) launched a heavy and fanatical attacl.:, the main effort of which encompassed the 3d Battalion and units on its left. 'l'he unit on the left of the 3,z Battalion was driven back during the course of the dily some 5,000 yards, Because of the width of the front, resenes were not

available to fill the gap. A platoon of the left compally was overrun by the enemy tank-infantry as~an1t, and the enemy infiltrated in force into nlml1ng, behind the lines of the 3d Battalion. Notwithstanding the exposed. and tactically disadvantageous position in which the 3d Battalion found itself, it ,sllrcceded in restoring its lines and capturing or killing all of the infiltrating enemy. For tl days the 3d Rattal-ion, in this exposed position, W:1S subjected to repeated attu('ks frOll the front, flank, and rear by enemy tanks and infantry accompanied by mortar and artillery fire. Repeated attacks by troops of this diyision and the division on the left to reestablish the 1ine and make contact ,,,ith the left :flank of the Sd Battalion failed. Tbe Sd Ratta.lion, nearly surrounded, still held on, despite heavy losses and a disadn:mtageolls tactical Situation, which warranted withdrawaL Howeyer, in doing so, it inflicted such heavy losses upon the enemy and impressed upon him so 8llC(:cssful1y th~ will of our troops to hold on, that further oJIcllsive action on this part Df the front by the enemy was discontinued. The a('tion of the Hd Battalion, therefore, p1n.yed a deciSive role jn thwarting the enemy from attaining his vital objective of Saverne Pass and enabled the division to hold its position without a serious change in dh:::positions. The e:x:~

Lraordinary heroism, determination, esprit de corps, and c1Iecti",e fighting r1is~

played by the Sd RattaHon, <,With Infantry Reoim.ent, in SllcCf:ssfully accomplishing this unusual and rugged task were an inspiration to other troops in the sector and reflect the greatest creuit on the Armed FOl'ces of the "Cnited States.

The 90th F'-ield ArtilTrry Battal'ion (minus) m0Ted forwaJ'd to attack encmy positions on 7 August. The attack progressed favorably until the early morning of 11 Augnst. when the enemy lrnmehed it strong, coordinated counterattack centered on the artillery positions. Following an intense mortar barrage and fire from small Drms ::lull automatic weapons, the enemy aRSDulted the artillery positions in a frenzied banzai cbarge. Two howitzcrs of A Battc1'Y immediately began to fire illumin::lting missions, while another howitzer was turned in the dirC'ction of the attack to silenr-e the automatic weapons of the enemy. The enemy O\-el'l'an machine-pm positions on the battalion perimeter and gained contJ'ol of surround· ing high ground hy infiltration. From this position, the enemy delivered a ter~ rillc volume of fire from automatic weapons. The battalion engaged the onrushing enemy from a distallce of 100 :yards. Under point·blank fire, the fanatical enemy was forced to withdraw, leaving a neavy taU of dead anll wounded in the baUalion position. The battalion remained in position and continued to fire on the enemy. 'The battalion command flO:"t mo,ed a short distance to a less '\ulncrable position. During the mght of 11-12 Angust, the battalion was subjected to heay.)' artillery and mortar fire. At approximately 0-:100 hours, 12 Angust, the enemy lanllched a second counterattack, ~npported hy self-propelled artillery, tanks, mortars. and automatic weapons. By forcing friendly infantry off the surrounding high tt~rraiD, and again through successful inllHration, the enemy got into position to try to destroy the sm}lli force comprising the 90th Field Artillerv Battalion. At the start of the attack, the enemy was successful in

AGO 4340B

obtaining direct hits on two howitzers and several ammunition truc1{s of A Battery which caused mllny fires and ammunition explosions within the battalion perimeter. Simultaneously, the enemy launched a banzai charge from all directions, except the northeast. For the next 3~~ hours, personnel of the 90th Field Artillery Battalion (minus) withstood repealed attacks by the enemy infantry, and each time they were successful in stopping the attacks with accurate fire from machine guns and small arms. Enemy casualties were heayy. Friendly ail'craft arrived and fired on the enemy with rockets and machine guns. The pOSitions, hmvever, had bCCOIIl(~ untenable, and after making sure tlUlt all wounded personnel of the battalion had been loaded on the few remaining and serdceable ,'ehicles, the batLalion \viLhdrcw under Drotective fire from fighter airplanes. The majority of the personnel evacuated the area on foot and provided as much protective fire for the woundell as was humanly possible. In addition to battle casualties, the extreme and torrid heat from a blazing sun added greatly to the hazards of battle. The 90th ]/'ield ArtWerv Ba,ttalion (minus) displayed su<:h gallantry, d{~terrnination, and esprit de corps in aecompli~hing its mi:'lsion under extremely difficult and hazardous conditions as to set it a])urt and above other units parti('ipating in the action. The extraordinary heroism displayed by the members of thc 90th Field Arf-iUery BMtalion (minus) relleets great crcdit on themselves, their b~lttalion, and the military service of the United States.

With a section of taDl{s and a platoon of infantry coyerlng its left llank, C01'npa,ny A advanced north up a road and turned to approach Hill 312 from the 'vest. Forming a base of fire with the first and fourth platoons, the secono and third platoons of ConwanJ/ B moved to the base of the hill. 'Vhi1e Oompany B drew the enemy's fire, OOJ-npanJl A moyed to within 75 yurds of the encmy's positions before being dctecteD. Using the third platoon as a base of fire, Company A deployed on a sm}lU ridge under heayy fi['e from small-arms and automatic .veapons.

At 1100 hours, the first and second platoons of Company A jumped 0[[ in tIle assault after the first platoon of the Heavy ~Iortar Company had saturated the objective witb a concBntration of 4.2 mortar fire. The two platoons scrambled up a !'teep cliff, as tbe enemy, in an all-out effort to repulse the attackers, fired into the adVancing soldiers and showered them with grenades. Trying to avoid the exploding grenades, the troops attempted to throw them back or kick them from their path. Numcrous grenades rolled farther down the slope, wounding the lllen below. The sup.porting platoons continued to lay down a heavy concentration of fire on the enemy positions as the lines reached the crest. Pushing up the last few yards,

'l'he cavalrymen moved through the .augouts and trenches and engaged the enemy in band-ta-hand combat. With razor-sharp bayonets gUttering in the sun, the gallant soldh,rs bayoneted and killed the communists in courageous individual assaults, \Vounded men from both forces staggol'ed from the battle lines as the stru:;glc gained momentum. The battle hung in lJalance as the lines swayed back and fOrth on the crest o-f the hilL Battle cries cOuld be heard above the noise of explcding grenades and the clanging of smashing ate'2!l blades. ,Vith fixed bayonets, members of the third platoon.

In the confusion, many well-camouflaged fox holes were overlooked and the enemy occupying theBe positions Btood up, threw ~renades, and fll'ed into the backs of the attackeJ.·S as the line swept fonvurd and o::J.w~lrd. Small and desperate band-to-hn.nd engagements took pJace over the entire hill as dHtel'mined troope·rs inflicted heavy casuullics on the defendIng forces. By this timc the assault pluLoons of Company B had reached the objective and assistf!d in mopping up and securing the hill. The b:::aycry, courageous actions, and extraordinary heroism dlsplayed by all mf~mb(~rs of the ftttacking force wc.re far above and beyond the call of duty.

The enemy was in full control of Hill 325, a dominate terrain feature oYel'Iooking the friendly ])()sition, Communications ,"yere disrupted, losses heavy, and the situation fluid. At this time, Company A, so undcrstrength that it. had to be reinforced by a platoon from both Company B and the Heavy :\Iol'tar Company, was ordered to retake the hill. Launching tbelr first counterattack at 0230 hours on the morning of 15 February, they were beaten back by heavy machine-gun fire from the top of the hill. They moved up again at 0345 hours. This time they advanced to within 300 yards of the crest, only to be repulsed for the second time, At 0600 hours, afier hvo set·backs and three sleeples"l'l nights of fightlng, this noble bnnd of heroic men, short of ammunition and out of communications, snatched victory from defeat by fixing bayonets and storming the hill, Shouting the-ir farHom: "Van Heutz" battle cry, they slashed their way to the Cl'est of the hill through the last of the remaining enemy, The inspiring and (Jetel'mined actions of the brave soldiers of the Netherlands Detachment withstood the enemy offensive and enahled allied forces to withdraw and re-group.

Dl11'ing this Deriou, the 2~'Jth Mniiary PoUoe Company posted, patrolled, and directed trafIic oyer more than 2,000 miles of roads that were never designed to aecommodate the gr,;rrt amount of traffic necessary to the operation of a United States division, The 24th MUU{wy Police Cotnpany received, processed, and evacuated more than 20,000 prisoners of war. They received and returned to their parent UGits more than 1,500 military stragglers. They directed aW3Y from military supply and traffic routes more than 1,000,000 indigenous refugees after first screening them for guerrillas and saboteurs. On ilially occasions the 24th Militm'y Policy Company acted as infantrymen in the defense of command posts and in establishing outpost lines, In directing traffic in the delaying actions eady in the! Korean contlict, they were often last to 1eUYe in successive withdrawals to new lines of defense, Unller all existing hazards, the constant endeavor of the 2-1tTt MiUlary Police Oompany was to get the job done. And this they did, despite the many ob:otades inherent to the theater of operations, '1'ho zeal, determination, and devotion to duty displayed uy all ranks of the 2'1tlt MilUary Police Gorf1,pa1'l1/, 21lh Infantry Division, during this pel'iod reflect credit on themselves, the Military Police Corps, and the military service of the United States, (General Orders 215, IIeaiJ,qt(..Q,rters, Eighth United Statc8 Artny, Korea, 17 April 1951.)

IV __ MERITORlOUS UNIT COMMEND,iTION.-By direction of the Secretary of the Army, under AR 260-15, the ~'[eritorious Unit Commendation is awarded to the following units of the Unilcd States Army for exceptionally meritorious conduct ill the performance of outstanding service during the perioda indicated. The citations read as follows:

1. The 7th Repla.cement Company, 7th Infantry Divi,~ionJ is cited for exceptionally meritorious conduct in the performance of outstanding services in Korea in support of combat operations during the period 15 November Hl50 to 15 May 1951. De8pite inadequate motor and rail transportation and the tactical necessity for frequent and prolonged moves, replacement personnel were quickly processed and .!'hipped by the 7th Replacement Company in a constant flow to the front-line elcmcnLs. Despite being assig~lCd only a limited number of vehicles, the unit utilized both organic and transient transportation to aso;ure the delivery of replace~ ments to their new organizations as rapidly as possible. Although hampered by the complexities of such a large scale operation, the company performed its tasks in a superior and exemplary manner. The company, in addition to the normal proeesRing function, initiated a concentraled training program designed to acquaint replacements with battle-learned lessons from front-line vclerans to oetter equip them for tte tasks ahead. Through this period, the 7th R6place~ menl Company processed 1·1,85G personnel for assignment to elemenL:; of the division. The problems attendillg the tremendous influx of replacement.s to offset thoo;e a1)sorhed in the rotation plan were met with the same high degree of emcicncy and spirited leaunvork characterisLic of Lhe unit in all of its activities and contributed materiallr to the success of the 7th Infantry Division. The 7th Replacement Company, 71h Infanl,V Division, displayed such outstanding devotion and supe-riol' pei'fol'mance of exceptionally difficult tasks as to set it apart and above ather units .. 'lith similar mission;;;. Such arduous and selfless appiication to duty as displayed by all ranks of this company reflect great credit all themselves ilnd the Inilitary o:el'vice of the United Stales. (General Orders .318, Headquarlers, F:'ighth United ,stales /lrmy, Korea, 6 .July 1.951.)

2. The 25th S':gna.l Company, 201.h Infantry Divt"s~·on, is cited for exceptionally merit.orious conduct in the performance of outstanding services Inl(orca in support. of comba~ operations during t.he period 1 November 1930 to 1 :\fay 19;)1. The company was charged with the responsibility of inslalling, maintaining, and operal.ing commuoicaL1on frwiliLics for the 25th Infantry Division in support of it.s combat duties. Twenty major di\'ision command posts and numerous taelical command post.s and switch insLallat.ions 'were expediUomly amI efilciently est.aoli:,;hed wit;lOut any major intel'l'llPtion of communications. The shortage of signal equipmcnt and lack of cxperienced signal personnel presentcJ di01clllLics whieh were admirably surmounteel by the complete coopemLiol1! untiring eiforts, and diligent devotion t.o duLy of each individual 1l1cmber of the comp::tny. During thi,.., period, morc t.han 8,000 Hems of signs.! equipment were rcp£tired for the rlivision and mobile mdio rela.y terminais and radio stations were est.a.bli:;hed to expedite ann. facilitate carrier cornmunicationg. On mieny occasions, constru('tion t('ams worked under direct enemy fire Lo esktbIi:sh a critically needed telephone circuit, and mes::.enger schedUles .vore est.ablished to l1ugment and assure neee:;sary comm.unications under hazardous combat conditions. The 2Sth Signal Compa7!l1 disphl}'cd sHeh outst·anding devotion and superior performance of exceptioIlally ditncult ta..<:;ks.as to set iL apart and D..bo\'c other units with dmilar missions. Tho outstaLlding ",kill and distinctly meritorious achievements of the 2!'fth Signal Company, 25th Tnjantry Dicision, reflect great credit on itself, each individual

member, and the milita.ry service of the United' States. (General Order:; 5291

IIeadquarters, Eighth United States Army! Korea, 9 July 1951.) 3. The 38th Malaria Control Detachment is cited for exceptiona.lly meritorious

conduct in the performance of outstanding services in Korea in support of combat operations during the period 15 July 1950 to 15 July 1951. During this period, the detachment performed the dual function of initiating control measures of insect-born diseases and the organizinp; and training of Republic of Korea preventiYc medicine teamS. In addition, much preventive medicine work was done by this unit for migrating refugees to alleviate existing hazards. To insure the effectiveness of this program, the detachment also instructed indigenous personnel in correct insect and rodent control. 'Working in forward areas, the members of this unit endangered their lives, not only by exposure to enemy action but by deliberately and continuously exposing themselves to various infected insects to control thc vector of various di",eases. They initiated control measures which have undoubtedly prevented many casualties among United Kations personnel. The 38th 1l1alaria Control Detachment displayed such outstanding devotion and superior performance of exceptionally difficult tasks as to set it apart and above other units with similar missious. The determination, effectiveness, and professional ability of the members of this organization reflect great credit on themselves, tbe Army Medical Ser .... ice, and the military service of the United States. (General Orders 64-1, Headquarters, Eighth United States Army, Korea, 14 August 1951.)
