Inchon landing (September 15, 1950) an amphibious operation during the
Korean War led by Gen.
Douglas MacArthur which led to the securing of Seoul on September 28. Despite logistical challenges and hastily organized troops, a Marine battalion landed on nearby Wolmi-do Island and was followed by two Marine regiment landings against Inchon itself. With a five-to-one strength disadvantage, the 2,200 North Korean troops at Inchon were easily defeated. The march to
Seoul began the following day.
