The Inchon
invasion was the last brilliant operation of Gen. MacArthur's career.
While the bulk of the North Korean Army was kept occupied by Gen.
Walton Walker's forces along the Pusan Perimeter, MacArthur planned
an amphibious assault on Inchon that would trap the entire NKPA
force in the South.
The 70,000
strong X Corps was mobilized from scratch in lightning speed. The
Navy and Marines performed the operation perfectly - overcoming
the extreme tides and geographic challenges - and the small force
defending the city.
