The 64th Anniversry of Incheon landing operation
September 15, 2014 Weolmido, Incheon
The surprise Incheon amphibious operation, led by MacArthur and code-named Operation Chromite, was staged from Sept. 15-19, 1950.
It turned the tide of the war in favor of the UN troops by successfully cutting the North's supply and communication lines. It involved tens of thousands of personnel and hundreds of naval vessels, and led to the recapture of Seoul two weeks later.
The 1950 Incheon amphibious landing operation by South Korean and US naval ships is reenacted in this file photo taken Sept. 15, 2014.
