Operation Chromite

Operation Chromite was a military amphibious assault during the Korean War in September 1950. It involved U.S. and United Nations forces secretly landing at Inchon, a port behind North Korean lines. The aim was to cut off North Korean supply and reinforcement routes, trap their troops, and force a retreat. The operation was risky due to challenging tides and shallow waters, but it succeeded brilliantly, turning the tide in favor of the UN forces. It’s considered a major turning point in the war, showcasing strategic planning and daring execution.
