‘Operation Chromite’ is the code name for the Battle of Incheon, which took place from 15-19 September 1950. Operation Chromite was the UN assault designed to force the North Korea People's Army (NKPA) to retreat from the Republic of (South) Korea.
The battle began on 15 September 1950 and ended on 19 September, commanded by General of the Army Douglas MacArthur of the United States Army. He was the driving force behind the operation, overcoming the strong misgivings of more cautious generals to a risky assault over extremely unfavorable terrain.
Through a surprise amphibious assault far from the Busan Perimeter that UN and Republic of Korea Army (ROK) forces were desperately defending, the largely undefended city of Incheon was secured after being bombed by UN forces. The battle ended a string of victories by the North Korean Korean People's Army (KPA). The KPA's supply lines were partially severed and the South Korean capital of Seoul was recaptured two weeks later.
Operation was the turning point of the war, with the UN victory forcing North Korea to withdraw from South Korea, allowing the UN to begin their offensive into North Korea.
Most military scholars consider the battle one of the most decisive military operations in modern warfare. Spencer C. Tucker, the American military historian, described the Incheon landings as "a brilliant success, almost flawlessly executed," which remained "the only unambiguously successful, large-scale US combat operation" for the next 40 years. Commentators have described the Incheon operation as MacArthur's "greatest success" and "an example of brilliant generalship and military genius."
The Memorial Hall for Incheon Landing Operation was built to commemorate Incheon Landing Operation successfully conducted by General MacArthur who was the supreme commander of UN Forces during the Korean War. Its theme centers on the successful Incheon Landing Operation led by UN Commander in Chief General McArthur during the Korean War.
