.t o~t the ooaet or Korea ne~tr Inohon~ George and Hm-fe Companies assaulted the beach from the sea while Item Company, billeted

r ·On a small i.sland simulating a C1TE 1 was lifted from OVE island by HRS and landed on TOKOHOK-TI securing the commanding high ground of the beaoh head, The operation was repeated the following day, It was generally regarded as being highly satisfactory by observers from both Division and Regiment. Morale of the men was exceptionally high during the operation in spite or an extremely heavy rainfall on the first day or the exercise. The vigor and enthusiasm demonstrated by all hands at all t1mea proved the problem to be almost ae great a morale faotor as a training exeroise,

On 15 June the battalion waa displaced by HRS. foot and trucks from the Kimpo area to a new cAmp site-at CT 116062 to assume mission as Regioental Reserve.

The sanitation situation in the Sangorang!o area was very poor. The ... ~ed1oal Officer wade an inspection and recommendations to correct discrepancies noted and passed on to the proper departments for action. The messing facilities have, on the whole, been good,. w.1 th the axoapt1on that the:r·e haa been a general shortage of incinerator burners, which has been corrected. During the latter part of the month the companies and Battalion Aid have been moved higher up the hill l'lhere they are in a more protected area.
