The 17 pounder anti-tank guns saw action in Korea, not only against tanks but in general support use against bunker positions. Usually though, they were left in the rear, being too large to transport and set up in the rough Korean terrain. Also, there was soon very little armored opposition from Red forces.

The Vickers machine-gun was an inprovement on the original Maxim. The main difference lies in the fact that the toggle locking action was inverted, but the weight was also considerably reduced by careful stress calculations and by the use of good grade steel and aluminium. In its time, the Vickers pattern went through twelve or more modifications, mostly minor, and was substantially the same gun after fifty years of service. It was heavy, fairly slow-firing, prone to a number of stoppages from the ammunition, but reliable in itself and well loved by all but the enemy. It worked in the most adverse conditions, and its water-cooled barrel ensured long life for the bore by helping to maintain low temperature. It was used in aircraft (for which it was air-cooled), in ships, in tanks, as a ground AA gun, on armoured trains, on armoured cars, and in a host of other roles. This machinegun was used by all Commonwealth forces during the Korean War. This is a two-gun section.

The French frigate, RFS La Grandiere (F731) served off Korea, arriving in 29 July and departing 23rd November 1950. It served under the British in the Fourth Frigate Squadron (F4). On 8 September 1950, Commanding Officers of the Fourth Frigate Squadron were informed they would be participating in an upcoming secret operation. Contact with anyone outside of other commanding officers of the squadron was prohibited and strict radio silence was ordered. The following day, LA GRANDIRE's Commanding Officer received his orders in a sealed envelope and instructed not open it until after her departure at noon on the 10th. After getting underway, the Captain read his orders that assigned his ship to Task Force 90 under command of U.S. Navy Rear Admiral Lyman A. Thackrey. TF 90 was assigned a mission to support an amphibious operation at Inchon, Korea, some 300 kilometers northeast of Pusan where enemy forces were less than 50 km away from the city. It was to convoy with other operational groups to be in place for direct support of the amphibious landing. The operation also included a U.S. Marine assault force and, because of heavy mining in the area, minesweepers. The orders required the following operational groups to be put in place according a precise date and timing: the minesweepers, the Marines assault forces, the ships giving covering fire in concentric arcs depending on range of their artillery, and then, in the open sea, the carriers.

Recoilless rifles are capable of firing artillery-type shells at velocities, and with an accuracy, comparable to those of standard guns, but almost entirely without recoil. This RCLR is a breech-loaded, singleshot, man-portable, crew-served weapon. It can be used in both antitank and antipersonnel roles. It can be fired from the ground, using the bipod or the monopod, or from the shoulder. The most stable firing position is the prone position. The 57mm was used about like a bazooka. Although much heavier than the M9 2.36-inch bazooka, it could nonetheless be fired from the shoulder. Much more powerful than the M9, and with significantly greater range, it was particularly effective early in the Korean War when the 3.5-inch bazooka was unavailable. Had the 57mm teams been issued sufficient HEAT projectiles, they would have had the capability to stop a T-34 tank. Unfortunately, the first troops in the field had neither 3.5-inch bazookas, nor adequate supplies of HEAT projectiles for the 57mm recoilless rifles.

On 22 July 1950, following the British, the Turks and the Australians, France announced that it would join the multinational force, responsible for the implementation of international law and for reestablishing the territorial integrity of South Korea. However, it took the determination of a few French political officials and two General Officers to make this generous move a reality. Indeed, France was hardly back on its feet in the wake of the disastrous Second World War and its army was already engaged in Indochina. Facing skepticism at first, the French Battalion soon proved itself time and again, and was soon the most famous of the U.N. volunteers.

The Centurion was Britain's first attempt to produce a universal tank and do away with divisions between Infantry Tanks (e.g. Matilda) and Cruiser Tanks(e.g. Covenanter). The original design was rapidly changed in the light of performance reports and led to the production of the Mk 2. Further modifications resulted in the production of the Mk 3. This mark introduced the 20 pounder gun and the fully cast turret, plus a number of engine modifications. In this form, the Centurion first saw action in Korea in 1951 and soon proved itself to be the best performing tank in this theatre of operations. Particularly notable was its excellent cross country performance.

The ML mortar was a conventional Stokes-type mortar which is muzzle-loaded and drop-fired. Although officially called a 3-inch mortar, its actual caliber was 81 mm instead of the 76.2 mm that 3 inches equates to. Experience in World War Two showed that it did not have sufficient range when compared to the German 81 mm Model 34 Mortar and so a new barrel was designed. This became the Mark 2 mortar. The Mark 4 was a barrel made to handle a heavier charge.

The rate of fire was normally about 120 rounds per minute, which improved slightly when the barrels were closer to the horizontal as gravity assisted the feeding. In practice firing rates were closer to 80-100 rpm, as the rounds were fed into the breech from four round clips which had to be replaced by hand.

The Vickers machine-gun was an inprovement on the original Maxim. The main difference lies in the fact that the toggle locking action was inverted, but the weight was also considerably reduced by careful stress calculations and by the use of good grade steel and aluminium. In its time, the Vickers pattern went through twelve or more modifications, mostly minor, and was substantially the same gun after fifty years of service. It was heavy, fairly slow-firing, prone to a number of stoppages from the ammunition, but reliable in itself and well loved by all but the enemy. It worked in the most adverse conditions, and its water-cooled barrel ensured long life for the bore by helping to maintain low temperature. It was used in aircraft (for which it was air-cooled), in ships, in tanks, as a ground AA gun, on armoured trains, on armoured cars, and in a host of other roles. This machinegun was used by all Commonwealth forces during the Korean War. This is a two-gun section.

British officers, often drawn from the upper classes of society, were trained from birth to assume positions of leadership. Highly self-reliant and showing great personal initiative, the officer class of the British army coped well with the demands of war. Officers within the British armed services were also often required to train with their men, this being especially true in elite units such as the Commandos, Marines, the SAS and the like. In so doing a bond of trust was forged between the officer and the men under his command. Also prevalent during the wartime period was the promotion of senior NCOs to commissioned ranks. These men, often drawn from the regular peacetime army, had already proved themselves in battle both in terms of leadership and organizational ability. They had the additional experience that could only be gained through service in the ranks.

Originally conceived as a replacement for the Sherman, with armor and firepower to match the larger, more powerful tanks fielded by the Germans, the earliest form of what would become the M26 Pershing made its first appearance in the spring of 1944 as the medium tank T26E3. Apparently in an attempt to boost the confidence of American tankers, it was redesignated a heavy tank. This was not without rationale, however, as it boasted a 90mm gun and armor that was four inches thick in places. By war's end about 700 M26s had been built. The M26 was also used in the Korean war, reverting back to its original designation as a medium tank. It was used by both the Army and the Marine Corp.

This power plant developed 740 hp, a somewhat limited increase in power.  The novel design of this unit, was that it acted as a transmission, braking system, and steering system all in one unit.  In addition to this modification, a bore evacuator was added to the M3A1 90mm tank gun, along with a single baffle muzzle brake.  Certain other changes were made, including an M83 telescopic fire control system, and round transmission access covers. About 200 M46 were used by the Army and Marine Corp in Korea.

This represents a number of pack animals sufficient to carry various weapons loads. In the hilly, muddy terrain of Korea, pack animals were a very welcome conveyance. The Korean conflict had proven beyond a doubt that there is no substitute for animal pack transportation in terrain such as had been encountered in that theater. The Chinese Communists had not overlooked this means of transport. UN forces had captured a number of their animals, and on the drive north from Seoul late in May 1951, the 1st Cavalry Division moved them by trucks. The QMC 6 x 6 truck was readily adaptable for this purpose and required no major change. In the mountainous sector north of Seoul to the Imjin River, captured animals were used to pack in barbed wire, steel stakes, mines, etc. As an interesting sidelight, one of the animals captured was a former U. S. mule about whose identity there was not the slightest doubt. His Preston brand was 08K0. This mule presumably was shipped to the China-Burma-India theater during World War II and fell into the hands of the Communists when the Chinese Nationals moved to Formosa!

The first prototype M-29 "Weasel" was produced in August of 1942. The original designation for the M-29 was "Cargo Carrier, Light T-24", the "T" meaning Test-Model. The T-24/M-29 was produced by the Studebaker Car Company, South Bend Indiana. The designation from T-24 to M-29 was changed at serial number 1003. The T-24 that QuestMasters has obtained was originally produced as a T-24 and later re-designated M-29 on the data plate. Only 4,476 T-24/M-29's were produced from 1942 to 1945 with the last version being the M-29C, the fully amphibious version. 10,647 M-29C's were produced during World War Two. The T-24/M-29 could carry a wide variety of cargo and could mount several different radio sets in the crew area.

A wheeled amphibious cargo carrier, the DUKW was actually a 2.5-ton 6x6 truck transformed into a boat. This versatile vehicle was commonly used to land supplies directly onto a beach, then use its wheeled drive, it could proceed inland to deliver its cargo without having to be unloaded on the beach. Commonly referred to as the "Duck", the DUKW acronym is not a true acronym at all; rather, it is a set of code designations: D=1942, U=Utility, K=all-wheel drive, and W=twin rear axles. Over 21,000 were built.

These were fully tracked unarmored vehicles designed for towing artillery. The two most common models were the M4 and M5 High Speed Tractors. The M4 was used for towing 3-inch and 90mm AA guns, 155mm guns and the 8-inch howitzer. The M5 pulled the 105mm howitzer, the 4.5-inch gun and the 155mm howitzer. A larger model, the M6, pulled the 8-inch gun and the 240mm howitzer. It was intended that all such guns would be tractor-towed, but demand always outstripped supply, leaving many artillery battalions with 6x6 truck prime movers for the duration of the war.

Sometimes called the "Goon Gun", the 4.2-inch mortar was originally intended to fire only gas and smoke rounds, but by the time it was first used in combat in Sicily, an HE round had also been developed for it. Unlike most mortars, the 4.2-inch had a rifled barrel instead of a smooth bore; this increased its accuracy, but also made it more expensive to manufacture. Because of its size and weight, the weapon was used as Regimental artillery, often vehicle mounted. A 4.2 mortar squad had 8 men, with 4 squads in a 4.2 in. mortar platoon. In the Marine Corps, each Rifle Battalion had a Weapons Company, with 60 and 81 mm mortars, and heavy machine guns. Each Rifle Regiment had a 4.2 inch mortar company with 12 guns, supporting the Rifle Battalions as needed.

 The 155mm heavy gun, nicknamed "Long Tom" could fire with very high accuracy. The gun is so long that if the trunion, which effects the raising and lowering of the rifle, were put at the center of balance, the breech of the gun would go into the ground whenever the muzzle was raised high. The solution was to put the trunion farther back, and to make the gun easy to raise and lower by hand by substituting mechanical balance for natural balance. The equilibrator does the mechanical balancing.

On August 26, 1950, the 65th Infantry departed from Puerto Rico and arrived in Pusan, Korea on September 23, 1950. It was during the long sea voyage that the men nicknamed the 65th Infantry "Borinqueneers". The name is a combination of the words "Borinquen" (which was what the Tainos called the island before the arrival of the Spaniards) and "Buccaneers". The men of the 65th were among the first infantrymen to meet the enemy on the battle fields of Korea. One of the hardships suffered by the Puerto Ricans was the lack of warm clothing during the cold and harsh winters. The enemy made many attempts to encircle the Regiment, but each time they failed because of the many casualties inflicted by the 65th. The 65th was part of a task force which enabled the U.S. Marines to withdraw from the Chosin Reservior on December 1950. When the Marines were encircled by the Chinese Communist troops close to the Manchurian border, the 65th rushed to their defense. As a consequence, the Marines were able to return safely to their ships.

The Korean War was the last American conflict involving segregated units of the armed forces, i.e. the US Army. Three American infantry divisions -- the 25th, the 2nd, and the 3rd -- contained black combat units during 1950/51. The units usually had mostly white officers.

This unit resulted from the desire of T/Sgt Guy C. Sheldon, a World W.W.II veteran, to again apply his skills in support of the UN Armys conflict raging on the Korean peninsula in the year 1950. T/Sgt Sheldon had served with a K-9 outfit during World War II in the Pacific theater of operations, and was involved in the early creation of the training manuals on the subject. As things developed, as many as sixteen dogs were utilized and seventeen to twenty cavalrymen were part of the unit. As many as four teams were assigned to action during one night. Assignments included roving patrols and listening posts and operated both behind or forward of the front lines. The platoon soon developed a reputation that was so good, that the patrol members relaxed to a point where all the responsibility of detecting the enemy was left to the dog. This was a little scary for the handler at first, but the confidence in the dogs ability was extremely high.

UNIT DESCRIPTION:
At the outbreak of war in Korea, a unique Ranger unit was formed. Headed by Second Lieutenant Ralph Puckett, the Eighth Army Ranger Company was created in August 1950. It would serve as the role model for the rest of the Ranger units to be formed. Instead of being organized into self-contained battalions, the Ranger units of the Korean War would be organized into companies and then attached to larger units, to serve as organic special operations units. The Ranger infantry platoon in Korea optimally contained about 33 men armed with rifles, three 60mm mortars, two BARs, one .30 cal MG, a 57mm recoilless and three bazookas.

In early 1944 the Marine platoon was reorganized according to the "fighting team" concept pioneered by the Marine Raiders, in which each squad could be broken down into three four-man teams. The platoon now consisted of 46 men in three 13-man squads and a headquarters. They were equipped with M1 Garand rifles, M2 carbines and nine BARs. Enough bazookas, flamethrowers and demolition kits were pooled in the battalion's HQ company to supply one of each to every squad, and these are assumed to be present in the game unit. Three platoons plus a machinegun platoon and company HQ made up a rifle company; and three rifle companies plus an HQ company formed an infantry battalion.

The H-13 Sioux was used for observation, reconnaissance and in the MedEvac role as a litter carrier in Korea, following initial fielding in 1951. In the MedEvac role a cocoon-like stretcher pod could be mounted on each skid. A distinctive feature of the Bell (model 47D) H-13D/H13E was the now familiar "Goldfish bowl" Plexiglas canopy, featured in the TV-series MASH (Mobile Army Surgical Hospital). The H-13 earned the nickname "Angel of Mercy" for evacuating some 18,000 United Nation's casualties during the war. The Sioux had a single two-bladed main rotor and a metal two-bladed tail rotor. The H-13 had a speed of 106 mph (92 knots). The Sioux could be armed with twin M37C .30 Cal. machine guns on the XM1 armament subsystem or twin M60C 7.62mm machine guns on the M2 armament subsystem

The Sikorsky (model S-55), initially procured in November 1949, was the World's first transport helicopter. The 12-place H-19 (redesignated UH-19 in 1962), with a crew of two, served as a utility, troop carrier, and rescue helicopter with winch. Model numbers ranged from A thru D. In the MedEvac role it could carry six litters and one medical attendant. For the first time casualties could be carried and attended to under cover, within the aircraft. Two companies of H-19 Chickasaw helicopters proved the value of helicopter transport by moving cargo and personnel during the final months of the Korean war and then by participating in prisoner exchanges and other functions after the cessation of hostilities. The Sikorsky (model S-55) was licensed and built in Great Britain as the "Whirlwind". The UH-19 had a three-bladed main rotor and a metal two-bladed tail rotor. Models A thru C were powered by a single Pratt & Whitney R-1340-57 550 hp engine. Model D was powered by a Curtis-Wright R-1300-3D 700hp piston engine. The Chickasaw had a speed of 113 mph (98 knots). The UH-19D had a cruising speed of 75 mph (65 knots).

The T34/85 was the core of the North Korean and Chinese armoured units during the Korean War. A Second World War design, the T34/85 had originally been developed by the Soviets for fighting on the Eastern Front and had excellent cross-country mobility. The tank's 85 mm gun packed a considerable punch and in the early days of the war North Korea's T-34/85s completely overwhelmed the American light M24 Chaffee tanks employed against them. They were soon matched, however, by increasing numbers of heavy tanks hurriedly shipped in from America, such as the M26 Pershing. They were organized per Soviet units with a company being made up of 4 medium tanks, 13 to a battalion, 40 to a regiment.

The 107 mm Model 1938 Mountain Mortar was a scaled-up version of the 82 mm Model 1937 produced especially for Russian mountain units. It featured a light tubular steel limber onto which the mortar could be folded for horse or vehicle towing - this limber was incorporated into the 120 mm Model 1938 Mortar. For transport over rough ground the mortar could be broken down for pack carrying. Firing could be by either gravity percussion or by trigger. The ammunition was fired by a single primary cartridge and up to four increments - the rounds could be one of two types of HE, smoke, incendiary or chemical.

By all accounts, the 120 mm Model 1938 can be assessed as one of the best mortar designs of the war. It fired a heavy bomb with a good warhead, it was highly mobile and could be taken in and out of action very quickly, and it had a most useful range. The Mortar Company had 6 of these optimumly.

It used the same two-wheeled limber as the 107 mm Model 1938 but this was usually allied to a two-wheeled ammunition cart to which it was attached for towing - this cart carried 20 rounds. By all accounts, the 120 mm Model 1938 can be assessed as one of the best mortar designs of the war. It fired a heavy bomb with a good warhead, it was highly mobile and could be taken in and out of action very quickly, and it had a most useful range. The Mortar Company had 6 of these optimumly. This is a platoon of three tubes.

The M-1942 45mm anti-tank guns were improved Model 1932/37 guns, and gradually replaced the earlier weapons as WW2 went on. The barrels of the earlier design were lengthened and the breechblocks strengthened which permitted greater velocity for the 1.43kg projectile, but by 1942, the 45mm was markedly small in caliber. Nevertheless, these weapons served the Soviets  throughout the remainder of the war and and later their allies well beyond.

The weapon was valued for its high rate of fire which allowed its gun crew to rain fire down on enemy armor.  This also gave the gun crew a greater chance to score a mobility kill on even very heavy tanks.  Its light weight was another advantage.  The gun could be rapidly traversed or moved short distances on the battlefield by its crew without any special equipment.

The Type 92 70mm Infantry Gun was commonly referred to as the "daitaiho" (battalion gun). This weapon was designed to replace both the Year-11 Type 70mm Mortar and the Year-11 Type 37mm Infantry Gun. The Type 92 gun was much heavier then the other two guns but it was still extremely light for its caliber and could be manhandled from one position to another. When disassembled the gun could be moved by pack animals or even carried by men if needed. Though capable of being used for indirect fire, Japanese doctrine limited the daitaiho to a direct-fire role. The Communists had numbers of these taken from the Nationalists.

This is the Soviet M30 aka 122 mm howitzer model 1938. M-30 had modern split trail carriage with leaf spring suspension and steel wheels with rubber tires. It was usually towed without limber. The carriage allowed towing speed of up to 50 km/h on paved road and up to 35 km/h on country road. The gun could also be moved by a team of six horses, in this case a limber was used. The suspension was locking automatically when swinging the trails open. In emergency it was possible to shoot in a "single trail" mode, however at a price of drastically reduced traverse (130'). Time to set up for combat was about 1 - 1.5 minutes.

The M-1937 gun-howitzer was designed by the F. F. Petrov design bureau in 1937.  It entered service the following year.  It replaced the modernized Czarist era weapons that were still in use by the Red Army.  The gun was much lighter and offered better traverse and elevation than its predecessors. The 152mm gun is easily noticed due to its unique muzzle brake which remained even when it was shortened and used on the SU-152 and ISU-152 assault guns.  The carriage of the weapon was the same as the one used on the earlier 122mm M1931/34 howitzer.  It also used a box section, split-trail arrangement and sponge filled rubber tires.  When the cannon was to be moved, its trails would be mounted on a two wheeled limber.  It would them be hitched to a truck.  Its ammunition was of the standard two piece (shell/powder) combination typical of guns of its size. In Communist use after WW2 it was referred to as the ML-20.

Although the single mount is the most common version, a twin mount was produced and has been exported to Algeria. The Soviet Navy also employed a twin water-cooled version closely resembling the multi-mount United States 40mm guns used in World War II. The 37nm guns have hydraulic recoil buffers and spring recuperators. The breechblocks are of the rising block type. The field mobile weaoon may be equipped with a shield.

The M-1939 85mm anti-aircraft gun (also known as the KS-12) was developed by M. N. Loginov at Artillery Plant No. 8 as a replacement to the 76mm anti-aircraft gun in use at the time.  The weapon consisted of a 85mm main gun with a large multi-baffle muzzle brake mounted on a four wheeled trailer.  Early models of the gun were also fitted with a large gun shield to give a measure of protection to the gun crew, but this was deleted on many of the later production guns. Among its advantages was the fact that it could use many types of 85mm ammunition, including those used primarily for 85mm tank guns.  This made supplying the guns much easier and enabled them to be used against tanks on the battlefield if the need arose. Its only real limitation came about during the Cold War as high flying jet aircraft came into service.  The gun had great difficulty accurately targeting jet aircraft, even after the radar fire control system was introduced. It was used for local air defense.

The 7.7mm Model 92 Heavy Machinegun was a weapon acquired from ex-Japanese stocks available from and after WW II. Mainly used in security, second-line and rear echelon troops, although undoubtedly some found their use in front-line units. The Type 92 was essentially a scaled up version of the Type 3 Heavy Machine Gun, with its calibre increased to 7.7 mm, and like the Type 3 was air cooled, ammo strip fed, and based on the Hotchkiss M1914. It was sometimes used as a light anti-aircraft gun during the Pacific War. The Type 92 had a maximum range of 4500m, but a practical range of only 2200m. Special antiaircraft front and rear sights were provided. The tripod was designed with carry poles, so that the weapon could be transported fully assembled by two to four soldiers, for quicker deployment.

The 14.5mm ZPU-1 (KVP) Very Heavy Machinegun was introduced into the Soviet Army into the immediate post Second World War period. The ZPU-1 is a single towed weapon which was obsolete in the Soviet Army by the mid-1970s. The tight two-wheeled carriage is somewhat similar to the late model ZPU-2, although the tires are smaller. The single ammunition box is to the right of the quick-change barrel. The two wheel carriage of the ZPU-1 was designed by Vodop-Yanov and the Rachinskiy Company, for transport in rough terrain and can be dismantled into units weighing about 176 lbs each. The single and multiple mounts of the ZPU series all use the basic 14.5mm Vladimirov (KPV) heavy machinegun which is also found mounted in various armored vehicles in both the ground and antiaircraft roles. The quick change barrel is air cooled with the ammunition box on the right side. All weapons in this series fire the API (BS 41) projectiles weighing 64.4 grams having a muzzle velocity of 1000 meters per second which will penetrate 32 mm of armour.

They were organised into the 1st-3rd, and 5th-7th Border Constabulary Brigades, with three to seven battalions each, giving them a strength of 2,600-5,000 troops. Each battalion had a machine-gun, mortar, and three rifle companies plus an antitank platoon. The 5th was responsible for railroad security. These units often fought under KPA control. The 1st and 7th and some elements of others had been used as cadres for the new KPA divisions in late 1950. They were also used to serve as replacements for the KPA divisions. All of these were organized, trained and supervised by Soviet officials.

Production of the Po-2 continued after World War Two, and it was supplied to most Soviet allies, including the PLAAF and the KPAF.  The KPAF had about twenty Po-2s at the start of the Korean War.  Some Po-2s were destroyed by UN attacks on North Korean airfields, and those remaining moved to more northerly bases.  The Soviet Union supplied the KPAF with additional Po-2s, and they began flying occasional night raids in November 1950.  Around June 1951 several Po-2 moved to Sariwon air base and began flying more frequent night raids.  Though often ineffective these raids did occasionally cause considerable damage, and the US devoted considerable resources to trying to intercept them.  The MiG-15 drew the worlds attention, but the unspectacular Po-2 biplane was the second most used and second most effective aircraft of the communist forces during the Korean War.

This was a copy of the French Brandt 81mm mortar. It could fire both light (7-lb.) and heavy (10.75-lb.) HE bombs as well as white phosphorus smoke shells. A PEFTOK battalion's 81mm mortar platoon, consisting of 6 mortars, was assigned to the battalion's three rifle companies depending on need, and were registered in before nightfall so they could safely respond with appropriate type ammo when called in. This capability, particularly illum rounds, gave their infantry quick support. Moving the heavy base plate for shifting to new and unregistered targets was often a problem, particularly in the vicious sub-zero cold of North Korea. Getting a stable base plate, for un-registered fire at night, without endangering forward units who needed very close support, was a manual art. With the FO on the communication line, and some strong guy digging new base positions in the frozen earth, it could be done, however, and it was done time and again. This is a platoon of six mortars.

The M2A2 105mm Howitzer was designed to be air-transportable. The 105-mm towed howitzer most often served in the direct support role. Its light weight, dependability, and high rate of fire made it the ideal weapon for moving with light infantry forces and responding quickly with high volumes of close-in fire. A PEFTOK battalion each had a battery of six of these weapons.

All PEFTOK battalions were attached to larger Allied units, mainly American, during their tours of duty in Korea. Relations with these mother units were neighborly, especially with the Americans, who ruled the Philippines for 48 years until 1946. PEFTOK and the Philippine Army were trained in American tactical doctrine. Its equipment was almost all of American origin (rifles, machine guns, helmets, artillery, tanks, grenades). A number of Filipino officers trained in American military schools such as West Point, and in specialist schools such as those for armor. That PEFTOK officers generally spoke, read and wrote English well averted miscommunication problems that proved fatal in the front line to some UNC contingents for whom English was not a second language.

The Browning Model 1917A1 Machine Gun was a heavy machine gun used by the United States armed forces in World War I, World War II, Korea, and to a limited amount in Vietnam and by other nations. It was a belt-fed water-cooled machine gun that served alongside the much lighter air-cooled Browning M1919. It was used at the battalion level, and often mounted on vehicles (such as a jeep). There were two main iterations of it; the M1917, which was used in WWI, and the M1917A1 which was used after. The M1917 was used on the ground and some aircraft, and had firing rate of 450 round/min; the M1917A1 had a firing rate of 450 to 600 round/min. This is a section of two.

The .50 caliber M2 HB machine gun was primarily an anti-vehicular weapon. Its weight, and the weight of its ammunition, made it unsuitable for mobile infantry use. However, in semi-fixed positions such as the MLR in Korea, or mounted on vehicles in file, as in the withdrawal from Chosin, the weapon was magnificent. Its great range and striking power made it deadly in enfilade against troops staging for assault. It had a range of 2287 meters, and a firing rate of 400 to 550 rounds/min. This represents a section of two such weapons.

The BCTs were highly mobile, compact and self-supporting battalion-sized fighting units designed to operate independently of each other in their territories. They were organized specifically as anti-guerilla units and operated alongside other military units. The 10th, 20th, 19th and 14th BCTs fought in the Korean War with the 14th BCT seeing the last shots fired in the war. The 2nd BCT saw combat of a different kind, but was involved mainly in police duties following the signing of the truce ending the Korean War on 27 July 1953. The truce was signed at Panmunjom, a village in western Korea along the Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) separating North and South Korea.

This was a copy of the French Brandt 81mm mortar. It could fire both light (7-lb.) and heavy (10.75-lb.) HE bombs as well as white phosphorus smoke shells. A ROK Weapons Company 81mm mortar platoon, consisting of 6 mortars, was assigned to the battalion's three rifle companies depending on need, and were registered in before nightfall so they could safely respond with appropriate type ammo when called in. This capability, particularly illum rounds, gave their infantry quick support. Moving the heavy base plate for shifting to new and unregistered targets was often a problem, particularly in the vicious sub-zero cold of North Korea. Getting a stable base plate, for un-registered fire at night, without endangering forward units who needed very close support, was a manual art. With the FO on the communication line, and some strong guy digging new base positions in the frozen earth, it could be done, however, and it was done time and again. This is a platoon of six mortars.

Sometimes called the "Goon Gun", the 4.2-inch mortar was originally intended to fire only gas and smoke rounds, but by the time it was first used in combat in Sicily, an HE round had also been developed for it. Unlike most mortars, the 4.2-inch had a rifled barrel instead of a smooth bore; this increased its accuracy, but also made it more expensive to manufacture. Because of its size and weight, the weapon was used as Regimental artillery, sometimes vehicle mounted. The ROK only used these in the Korean Marine Corps (KMC) Infantry Regiment Mortar Company, there being 12 tubes alloted to the company, in three, four-tube squads of eight men each per squad.

The barrel was 45 calibers long and the carriage was of a split-trail type, carried on four double-tyred road wheels forward. In action the wheels were lifted to allow the carriage to rest on a forward firing platform. This gun was a very accurate and stable piece. The ROK 155mm battalions were raised and trained by U.S. infantry divisions, and then assigned to Korean divisions. Later, ROK divisions were raised with organic division artillery headquarters and their full complement of three 105mm and one 155mm battalions.

This stands for Korean Augmentation to the U.S. Army, of which in august 1950, with the concurrance of the ROK governmment, up to 8,600 troops could be assigned to a U.S. division, with up to 100 per company. They could be mixed within the unit or formed into seperate platoons under U.S. leadership. Seldom over 2,000 were ever assigned to any given division at any given time, although in September 1950 over 8,000 were assigned to the 7th Infantry Division.

This is the Corps-level headquarters elements in the ROKA. There were three ROK Corps, with only one ever serving in combat at any given time. The I ROK Corps was raised in the beginning of July 1950, and found itself anchoring the extreme left flank of the Eight U.S. Army front on the east coast with the X U.S. Corps on its left flank. It had previously served in this zone during the advance into North korea. It was the only one of the the three ROKA corps to remain active throughout the entire war. II Corps was raised 14 July 1950 and fought in the central zone of the UN front during the advance into North Korea between III and I ROK Corps. It was inactivated in January 1951, the reconstituted in April 1952 and committed to the front in a sector just east of the peninsula's center. III Corps was organized on 16 october 1950, but inactivated in late May 1951 when the 5th ROK Division was inactivated. During the advance into North Korea it was in the center of the UN line between IX U.S. corps and II ROK Corps. III ROK Corps was not reraised until after the war.

This represents a motorized commander in the Colombian Battalion. A trained and ready army has, as its foundation, competent and confident commanders and leaders. Commanders must exhibit sound leadership traits in order to influence others to accomplish the mission by providing purpose, direction and motivation. The battlefield challenge for any commander, regardless of the level of command, is to inspire solders to do things against their natural will to carry out missions for the greater good of the unit, the army and the country. Commanders are a critical asset to an army's ability to fight, survive and be victorious on the battlefield.

The IS-2m was a somewhat redesigned IS-2. The main difference was a much more smoothly sloped front hull, which greatly increased its strength vs. anti-tank projectiles. Like its predecessor, however, it carried only 28 rounds of ammunition for its main gun. Following WW II IS-2m tanks were exported to many soviet allies.  This included a small number to the PLA in the early 1950s.  Some chinese sources indicate that PLA IS-2m tanks were committed to fighting in Korea, but no US or UN sources validate this fact.  Following the war however it is known that the PLA had four independent GHQ armoured regiments each organized with four T-34/85 companies and a single IS-2m 5-tank company stationed in Korea.

The T34/85 was the core of the North Korean and Chinese armoured units during the Korean War. A Second World War design, the T34/85 had originally been developed by the Soviets for fighting on the Eastern Front and had excellent cross-country mobility. The tank's 85 mm gun packed a considerable punch and in the early days of the war North Korea's T-34/85s completely overwhelmed the American light M24 Chaffee tanks employed against them. They were soon matched, however, by increasing numbers of heavy tanks hurriedly shipped in from America, such as the M26 Pershing.

The front bipod could be screwed up and down for ranging. There was a handcrank at the end of the elevating screw housing. The Type 31 had a firing weight (mortar with bomb) of just over 20 kg (44 lb), and the M2 of 19 kg (41.8 lb). The maximum range was 1,530m (1,673yd) for the Type 31 and 1,820m (1,990yd) for the M2. Both were drop-fired weapons, in other words there was a fixed firing pin at the base of the barrel inside and when the bomb was dropped down the tube its own weight drove the ballistite cartridge on to the pin with enough force to fire the cartridge.

This represents the stocks of 7.62mm SG-43 Machinegun the Soviets sold the Chinese in 1951. The SG43M included the first improvements to the primitive original gun. Dust covers and a new barrel lock were fitted, and a splined barrel was fitted to improve cooling. The CCF manufactured their own version of the SG43M. It was virtually obsolete at its inception, but the CCF probably appreciated the gun's extreme ruggedness and reliability. American forces used the light and heavy machine guns mostly at a few hundred yards or less, contrary to their design concepts. This was the nature of the battles our company and platoon sized forces faced, which were mostly defensive. The Chinese used them at greater distances but, at least in the early phases of the Korean war, used them sparingly at these distances. Probably because of the difficulty of transporting the heavy guns and ammunition over long distances on foot, which was often their only available method. They were used most effectively in defensive positions, and blocking positions for their attacking units to safely fall back to and re-group.

7.7mm Model 92 Heavy Machinegun. Both the Chinese and the NKPA began the Korean War with a large number of Japanese WWII weapons. The 7.7mm (.3031 cal) Type 92 Shiki "semi-rimless" and 99 Shiki rimless both saw action in Korea, but the Type 92 was by far more widely used. The 92 could use both the rimless and the rimmed 7.7 round, and it was one of the most widely used weapons by the Japanese army in WWII. The rate of fire was low, and it had a curious stuttering effect, causing it to be nicknamed the "woodpecker", although it didn't sound at all like that bird. But, troops on the receiving end of this weapon never had any problem identifying it.

It was used through WW2 as an anti-aircraft weapon, and also as an heavy infantry support gun. This version was also used as AA-gun mounted on some Russian tanks and armour vehicles (T-55, T-62, BTR-155). DShKM was one of the most sucessful designs of its time. 12.7mm (.50) AP bullets fired from this HMG, could pierce 15mm armor plate at 500m.

14.5mm ZPU-1 (KVP) AAMG. The KPV (Krupnokalibernyj Pulemet Vladimirova - Vladimirov large caliber machinegun) was developed during the second part of World War Two. Initial requirements were set for an "anti-tank machine gun", or heavy support machinegun for infantry. This large and extremely powerful machinegun was developed around the 14.5x115 anti-tank cartridge, developed by 1941 for antitank rifles. This cartridge, firing the heavy AP bullet, can penetrate up to 30 mm of armor at a distance of 500 meters. Being viewed as infantry direct fire support weapons, first KPV machineguns were adopted in 1949 as the PKP (Pulemjot Krupnokalibernyj Pechotnyj - large caliber infantry machinegun), along with small artillery-type wheeled mount. At the same time, Soviet army adopted several anti-aircraft mounts for KPV machinegun, with single, twin and quad guns. However, by the end of the war 14.5mm cartridge mostly lost its anti-tank role. The communists bought these from the Soviets.

14.5mm PTRD-41 Anti-Tank Rifle. The 14.5mm bullet, probably the heaviest "small-arms" round found anywhere in regular service (the British .55 in converts to 13.97mm), was fired from a massive cartridge case. When redundant in its anti-tank role, the 14.5 mm became a heavy-machine gun round, and was used as a long range sniper rifle by the North Koreans during the Korean War. Although the only effective infantry weapons against tanks by the time of the Korean War were HEAT missiles from the 3.5in super bazooka and the recoilless rifles, the PTRD-1941 was effective against ordinary transport, and much more effective and safer to use than the TNT satchel charges which were the primary anti-tank weapons available to the poorly armed CCF.

At that time they also began extensive manufacture of their own models of Soviet weapons. The Type 50 SMG went into production in 1950, and was one of the weapons the Chinese used when they first came into the war. With this model, the Chinese most commonly used the box magazine. Like the PPSh41, the Type 50 had only 5 parts, including a black recoil-reducer pad over the end of a long spring, with a compartment in the butt for oil and cleaning brush. It was cheap, easy to maintain, very inaccurate, and threw a lot of lead in a hurry.

The ML mortar was a conventional Stokes-type mortar which is muzzle-loaded and drop-fired. Although officially called a 3-inch mortar, its actual caliber was 81 mm instead of the 76.2 mm that 3 inches equates to. Experience in World War Two showed that it did not have sufficient range when compared to the German 81 mm Model 34 Mortar and so a new barrel was designed. This became the Mark 2 mortar. The Mark 4 was a barrel made to handle a heavier charge.

They were very good tacticians, and fought with extreme valour, and indeed never left wounded or dead behind, and no Ethiopian soldier was captured in combat! A tribute indeed to the leadership of the Battalions elements.
