Staff Operations: The X Corps in Korea, Combat Studies Institute

STAFF OPERATIONS: The X Corps in Korea, December 1950

Led by Major General Edward M. Almond, X Corps consisted of the 1st Marine Division and two Army divisions. After the Inchon landing and the capture of Seoul, X Corps landed on Korea's northeast coast and moved inland, where it was forced to retreat by attacking Chinese troops. X Corps, nonetheless, fought its way back to the coast and was evacuated by ship at the port of Hungnam.

This Combat Studies Institute Special Study focuses on the withdrawal of X Corps and its evacuation, emphasizing how the corps' staff operated under adversity. Using original corps reports and documents, Dr. Richard W. Stewart provides a penetrating and critical analysis of the X Corps' staff as it faced the demands of retreat. His study reveals significant insights into the complex nature of corps operations with obvious relevance to today's Army. - excerpt from Foreword
