      The action at Hill 205 rendered the Eighth Army Ranger Company combat ineffective. After 26 November 1950, the Company was only capable of conducting routine patrols in front of the 25* ID front-line trace, acting as a security force for regimental or divisional headquarters, or assisting the Turkish Brigade in securing Kangwha Island at the mouth of the Han River.

    • Article:

      The heavy casualties on Hill 205 rendered the company combat ineffective, and it was capable of conducting only routine patrols or as a security force for division headquarters elements for the next several weeks.
