THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY

WASHINGTON

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION to the

FIRST MARINE DIVISION, REINFORCED

for service as set forth in the following CITATION:

“For extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor
forces in Korea during the periods 21 to 26 April, 16 May to
30 June, and 11 to 25 September 1951. Spearheading the first
counteroffensive in the spring of 1951, the First Marine
Division, Reinforced, engaged the enemy in the mountainous
center of Korea in a brilliant series of actions unparalleled
in the history of the Marine Corps, destroying and routing
hostile forces with an unrelenting drive of seventy miles north
from Wonju. During the period 21 to 26 April, the full force
of the enemy counteroffensive was met by the Division, north
of the Hwachon Reservoir. Although major units flanking the
Marine Division were destroyed or driven back by the force of
this attack, the Division held firm against the attackers,
repelling the onslaught from three directions and preventing the
encirclement of the key center of the lines. Following a rapid
regrouping of friendly forces in close contact with the enemy,
the First Marine Division, Reinforced, was committed into the
flanks of the massive enemy penetration and, from 16 May to 30
June, was locked in violent and crucial battle which resulted
in the enemy being driven back to the north with disastrous
losses to his forces in the number of killed, wounded and
captured. Carrying out a series of devastating assaults, the
Division succeeded in reducing the enemy’s main fortified complex
dominating the 38th Parallel. In the final significant offensive
of the action in Korea, from 11 to 25 September 1951, the First
Marine Division, Reinforced, completed the destruction of the
enemy forces in Eastern Korea by advancing the front against a
final desperate enemy defense in the ‘Punch Bowl’ area in heavy
action which completed the liberation of South Korea in this
locality. With the enemy’s major defenses reduced, his forces on
the central front decimated, and the advantage of terrain and
the tactical initiative passing to friendly forces, he never
again recovered sufficiently to resume the offensive in Korea.
The outstanding courage, resourcefulness and aggressive fighting
spirit of the officers and men of the First Marine Division,
Reinforced, reflect the highest credit upon themselves and the
United States Naval Service.”

The following reinforcing units of the First Marine Division
participated in operations against enemy aggressor forces in
Korea during the cited periods:

THE SECRETARY OF THE NAVY

WASHINGTON

The President of the United States takes pleasure in presenting the PRESIDENTIAL UNIT CITATION to the

FIRST MARINE AIRCRAFT WING, REINFORCED

for service as set forth in the following CITATION:

“For extraordinary heroism in action against enemy aggressor
forces in Korea from 8 March to 30 April, 18 May to 30 June, and
3 August to 29 September 1951. Carrying out ‘round-the-clock’
combat flights during these periods, often under hazardous
conditions of weather and terrain, the First Marine Aircraft
Wing, Reinforced, provided unparalleled close air support for
friendly ground forces, effectively reducing the enemy’s power
to resist and contributing materially to the sweeping victories
achieved by our ground forces. Operating continuously in the
most advanced areas under fire, the Wing consistently maintained
a high degree of combat readiness and struck savage blows to
inflict tremendous damage and heavy casualties upon the enemy.
Individually capable and determined, the gallant officers and men
of this indomitable team achieved a distinctive combat record
during a period of vital operations against a stubborn foe. This
record is a lasting tribute to the courage and fighting spirit of
all members of the First Marine Aircraft Wing, Reinforced, and
reflects the highest credit upon the United States Naval Service.”

All organic units (excepting Marine Fighting Squadrons 214 and
323 for the periods 8 March to 30 April 1951 and 18 May to 30
June 1951, and Marine Observation Squadron 6 for the entire three
periods) and the following reinforcing units of the First Marine
Aircraft Wing participated in operations against enemy aggressor
forces in Korea during one or more of the above cited periods:
1st 90mm Anti-Aircraft Artillery Gun Battalion and Ground Control
Approach Unit 41M.

For the President,
CHARLES S. THOMAS

Transcriber’s Notes

Punctuation, hyphenation, and spelling were made consistent when a predominant preference was found in the original book; otherwise they were not changed.

Simple typographical errors were corrected; unbalanced quotation marks were remedied when the change was obvious, and otherwise left unbalanced.

Illustrations in this eBook have been positioned between paragraphs and outside quotations. In versions of this eBook that support hyperlinks, the page references in the List of Illustrations lead to the corresponding illustrations.

The index was not checked for proper alphabetization or correct page references. Discrepancies between index entries and the text they reference were resolved in favor of the referenced text.

Page 241, footnote 351 (originally footnote 14): “176–175” was printed that way.
