Overview:
‘Pork Chop Hill’ was the nickname for a United Nations military outpost in the “Iron Triangle” sector of Korea along the 38th Parallel. The hill, 255 meters in elevation, had first been seized in October 1951 by the U.S. 8th Cavalry Regiment, again in May 1952 by Item Company of the U.S. 180th Infantry Regiment, then defended by the 21st Thai Battalion of the 2nd U.S. Infantry Division in November 1952. Pork Chop itself was one of a number of exposed hill outposts in front of the Main Line of Resistance (MLR), defended by a single company or platoon dug into sand-bagged bunkers connected by trenches. On March 23, 1953, a battalion of the Chinese 423rd Regiment, 141st Division launched a surprise night attack on an outpost near Pork Chop Hill called ‘Old Baldy’. . .
