Our Oommander ln Oh1•! and the commander of the Communist armies opposing us haYe eigned an agreement tor an armistice in Kora¥,~ · It l.s 1mportqnt that you lhould ltnow Just what thia agreement is, how it aftects you, what it doeSj and ~rt1ou1arly what it does not do,

First of all, the armistice provides that the shootlng will stop, It is not a Peace settleoent although all of us \o.....__.,. ¥'ioo..-.ofo -t+ ...,..,. •• .,.,..,.,..""+'HII11•,. 1.:'1.DA r .... .,..,AJ:Infll J..J.'-'IJO U~J.a.u .L u lllQ.J L> '<IVIOI.U...,.....,.a...._,'/ .._.,..._,_., wv .v~._..,...,,.

An armistice, in the words or Gener.tl Hark 1\', CLARK, Commander in Chief of the United Nations Gommand, "is a m111tary agreement between opposing oom~.ndors to coaee fire and to permit the oppo$ing sides to arriYo at a peaceful solution of the conflict. 11

It has Gaken two long years "f cant inuous negotiation to reach this armist!co ar,rccrncnt, How long it will take tho political confer-eHc~ t.t~t follows it to ronch a sat!sfs.ctory settlement no man l<nOOJ$, In tho meantime ve remain at our poets, ve stand by our guns, we must bo roady for any development that may arise.

II, 1"/E 11U3T STAY HERE UNTIL THE JOB IS FntiSHED.

Our job will not b~ f'iniahr:d untll there 1s a pol1t1oal settlement. Although the shooting stops, t~o ac~al conflict still exists -- the conflict between the forces gathered 1n Korea in d.e:fonso of tho troe world and thoee who he\\3 tr1od to destroy us,

In our past history we have too ofton ma<1o the ~'ake of believing that an armi~tice moant that peace had arrive( -that lio could go home, throw down our weapo"s, disband our mill.tary forces, d1ss1:rate our strength, ,.oo often, sa e. reBul'u of our truet in an enemy's , .... ord, t:e haVe he..d to ro't:r-.t1ld OUl' s trcngth and resume the battle a·c a hoevy cost in timo, money and lives,

lie cannot make that mistake again, 1{e ea!lnot let down our guarc1, 11o oe~nnot lee.ve the job we came htre to do unfinie:1cd -- perhaps to be dono all over aga1n1

Do not malta the r~istako o:f assuming that llloroly because the Communints he.vc at last·, been Willing to ag,roc to armistice torms thay have also a.groed. to end. their s..g1~ei;sion against us and against our allies, Communism's detc~ined plan to <iamin.atc the whole trorld, including ourselves~ never changes, rhe Gom~~~ists only Soern to C~Ange fro~ ti~~ ~0 time; tn meet resistance they encf)untor,

Joseph Stalin said t:nat tho Com:nunlata should make their greatest- prcparatiqnS f"or WP.r lihilo at the f!<'".me time they were singing their loudQst praises of peace,

III. THE ARMISTICE PAVES T!'.E l'iAY FOR A POLITICAL CONFERENCE

~~~n an armistice goas !nto effect the question n~ nnRr.e o~

continued war becomes one for the govornmento of tho nations involved to aettle,

These negotiations will be carried out by roprowontativos of all tho nations which have troops with the United Nations Command, and tho represonte.tivos ot North Koree. end Rod China. Tho c onto ronco may- not a~lan ba hold in Kerce., and it' tho past history of our efforts to negotiate our differences With the Communists are any example of what to expect, the conferences may last a long time;

Until tho poll tic"-l conference reaches a decision, our mission is this:

1, 11c sto.nd guard to prevent further aggression, 2. We maintain our fight:tne; otf'loionoy. 3. 11e f'ai thtu.lly fult'ill nll torr1s of the a..rm:1.st1ce.

LV, IT CREATES A BUFFER ZONE BET','/EEN OUR FORCES AND TllE CO!;E11JNISTS,

The armistice agreement has set up >~het is knoun as a "demarcation line," which runs across Korea at approximately mid-way between present baT.tlo lines. Tr.o agreement provides that the troops of each eido will be withdrawn two ltilomctors behind the domarcetion line,

Tho 11 butfor zone• bet,.rccn our forces vnd tho CollllT.unists will be del!!ilitarizod, That is, all ;;em>ons or r.1oans of malting W'flr will 'bo remavod from this bcl·t, mines will be te.kcn out, and baJ>bod wire uill bo taken Up.

~hrust Line System of Location

h'UNBEa .................... 21-53)

1. Personnel of thia cOI'!lrnand will be indoctrinated in the Thrust Line

Systerr. of Location of points on a map.

2, The followinc descriptioi: of the Thrust Line System of Location is

quoted for information:

"A thru.5t line may be established by designating two points

on a. map and drawing a straight line through the!':'..., One of those

points is called t~1.e point of origin, and the other the extension

point • '.•TbUJ.l!l.nlfc.mq·.l>e~ext:end"'''.inde!init<l;r in either direct

ion. It is usually dra\oln parallel to the direction of attack and

in the canter of t~e zone of action of the unit concerned. To de

termine the thrust line coordinates of a point on a map, draw a

line through the point, and perpendicula~ to the thrust line. Us

ing an inch scaleJ measure the distance along the trust line from

the origin (the first point namsd in designating the \hru8t111De)

to the intersection of ·the thrust line and this perpendicular line.

Then meas-l.l.Te the distance from this intersel'-tion to point in quest

ion, The letter F (forward) or B (back) is written in front of the

numbers which indicate the distance measured along the thru~t line

from the origin, and tho letter R (right) or L (lett) is written in

front of the number which indicate the distance measured right or

lei't of the thrUBt 14).a as you face the ext.ensio!l point. Distances

aro measured in inches and tenths o£ inches. This ia not a hard

and fast :rule• however, i.n:;: unit of measurement dasired may be us

ed, provided tho syst~m used is known to aJ.l members of the command.

Threa di~its are recorded fd~ each measurenent, the last digit re

presenting tenths of an inch, although the decimal point is not re

corded. Letters and· rrurnbers are written without interval,"
