Battle of the Chosin Reservoir, Chosin also called Changjin,
campaign early in the Korean War, part of the Chinese Second
Offensive (November-December 1950) to drive the United Nations out
of North Korea. The Chosin Reservoir campaign was directed mainly
against the 1st Marine Division of the U.S.X Corps, which had
disembarked in eastern North Korea and moved inland in severe
winter weather to a mountainous area near the reservoir. The
campaign succeeded in forcing the entire X Corps to evacuate to
South Korea, but the Chinese did not achieve their particular
objective of isolating and destroying the 1st Marine Division.
Instead, in a deliberate retrograde movement that has become one of
the most-storied exploits in Marine Corps lore, the Marines turned
and fought their way down a narrow vulnerable road through several
mountain passes and a bridged chasm until they reached transport
ships waiting at the coast.
