Choose from one of the three questions below to demonstrate knowledge of Section 4 of This Kind of war:

S6: Barring coastal communication, there was only one good lateral route of communication across the peninsula due to the terrain.  How does terrain affect communication and therefore tactical movement?  How did it influence U.S. and ROK forces once they crossed the 38th parallel?  What did the terrain in Korea affect communications compared to previous wars (WWII)?

HAMMER: As UN forces marched north, there was evidence of the Chinese joining the conflict. Despite the evidence, General MacArthur and his staff believed “the Chinese would not dare intervene” They assessed that they lacked the Military capability to bring significant forces into the conflict and even if that was possible the US air superiority would make quick work of them. What do you think we are “wishing away”? What are capability or piece of equipment are we putting too much reliance on?

FSC: Discuss the three advantages the CCF possessed over UN Forces. What can we learn from them?
