October 20, 1950
Korean War – Combat Jump

A few days prior, the 187th RCT was alerted for an airborne operation north of Pyongyang. “The 187th would make a parachute assault at the twin road-rail junctions at Sukchon and Sunchon, 10 miles apart, 25 miles north of Pyongyang and only 100 miles south of the Manchurian border” (page 50 of “The Rakkasans, 187th The Steel Berets” by Waterhouse). The goal was for 1st and 3rd Battalion to capture Sukchon and 2nd Battalion capture Sunchon. After a few delays on the morning of October 20, 1950, the paratroopers loaded the planes and proceeded to their jump zones.

At around 1400 Hours the paratroopers were ordered to “Stand Up and Hook Up” and after a few minutes, the men and equipment were out the door.
