(b) Terrain

(I) Gcmoral: Tho il1mediato area of the Regimental sector is dominatoc1. by sto.;p eroded hils that rise ouddonly t'rom flat plains nnd rico padc1ioe. Somo of tho 111ajor onorw hold hills to the irnncdi-ak i'ront riro RENO(CT 068079); CARSON(CT 064076); l.iLKO(CT 068075); VEGAS (CT 074078); HILL 40(CT 044066); TUiiAE-RI(HILL 40-D, CT 045073)1 KUHGOK (HILL 35, CT 050067); UN-GOK(HILL 3l--31A, OT 059076-059073); HILL 25A (CT 069082); HILL 21B(CT 071082); HILL 23(CT 07208?); HILL---57A(CT 080085). Those hills contain llllll'zy" draws and iltGop cuts and are covGrGd with scrub r,rc:Mth which offers oxcollont ca_r'louf'lnge to tho onoey.

(II) Critico.l tor:ra;!,n feature~ The critical terrain faa turo in tho rogime;ntal sector is HILL 120{CT 0 65), wliieh commands observation of the cantor of the rogil!l()ntal sector. Loss of this hill vould soriously jeopardize thu tactical position of tho regiment,

Tho INJ!N RIVER i~ also of irnrrtodieto importance in the regimental sector. Although in re-ar of front line positions it effects both logioticul uncl tactical considorc.tions. The river varies t'rOI'l 50 -to l.OO feet in width in tho rieht rcgil!l()ntal sector, · During part of July and August tho INJIN RIVER 1s flooded, Bridges have boon rondoroct inoperativo or cnrriod away during high stages or flood. J:t can be OXpEJCtcd ·tht\t tho river Will prcl!O.nt a problem logistically during part- of tho period._

(III) Observation and fields of fire;: Fields of firo g(mornl~y nrc good along tho flats ovor rico paddies a.1ld dr~ws Efcetterod throughout tho ~octor, Fields of firo in tho hills nrc short and restrict-ed, ·

Tho ono!T\Y hns observation of tho HLR frop sovornl pror.U.nont terrain features to the f-ront, HILL 53(CT 078106) offers tho onoey c;abservation of tho right HLR sector. HILL 23 (OT 0720;37) and tho high ground(l90.5 r'mtoro) behind it nffo~ds tho enol~r obscr\tntion of -the--Ontir0 regimental ML."i.
