Operation Minden
Operation Minden was an offensive undertaken by United Nations (UN) forces during the Korean War between 8–12 September 1951, as part of a general advance to extend the Wyoming Line. Operation Minden was the precursor to the much larger Operation Commando, which established the Jamestown Line.
==Background==
By the autumn of 1951, I Corps were positioned along the Wyoming Line, which was north of the 38th Parallel. The Wyoming Line served as an outpost line, and was an extension of the Kansas Line. The Wyoming Line ran roughly in an northeasterly arc from Hwachon Reservoir to the west of Chorwon. However, the curvature of the Imjin River, north of the small town of Choksong, meant that there was a salient extending southwards into the line.〔Yu 1973, p. 335–337〕
As part of an overall strategy to seize territory in order to strengthen his army's defensive position General James Van Fleet, the commander of UN forces in Korea, ordered the removal of this salient in an operation codenamed "Minden".〔McGibbon 1996, p. 203–205〕 The operation would primarily involve three elements of the 1st British Commonwealth Division, commanded by General James Cassels; the 28th British Commonwealth Brigade, the 29th British Commonwealth Brigade and the 25th Canadian Infantry Brigade.〔
