I was wondering what this post was about, so I translated it:
General Dean's stay in Daejeon
Except for the division leader General Dean and 3-4 staff officers, the entire division headquarters moved to Yeongdong.
Adjutant Lieutenant Clark, G-3 Aide Lieutenant Richard A. Rawlands, G-4 Aide Transport Officer and two drivers
Operation situation at the time
<General Dean's Defense Concept Before the Battle of Geumgang (82)>
A defensive position is selected on the 3 mile ridge of Gapcheon
When 2 regiments occupy, a strong defensive position is possible.
19th Regiment was deployed on Gyeongbudo Island
The 34th Regiment plans to defend the Nonsan-Daejeon Road from the south side
The 19th Regiment was just after reorganization in Yeongdong, so the entire line of defense had to depend on the 34th Regiment.
General Dean does not conceive of a final decisive battle in Daejeon.
Delayed operation to prevent the advance of North Korean forces until the arrival of the reinforcement unit
When the tank unit withdraws the Geumgang, it is planned to withdraw from Daejeon the next day while attacking sideways.
<General Dean's plan changed to General Walker's visit to Daejeon on July 18>
General Walker's Plan of Operation
Eighth US Army and Korean Army stopped at the line connecting Nakdong River and Yeongdeok
To this end, the US 1st Panzer Division was put into Okcheon to stop the enemy.
If the Nakdong River is crossed, the Eighth Army will lose the opportunity for counterattack.
General Walker envisioned it at the headquarters of the 34th Regiment in Daejeon, and instructed General Dean to secure the battle until the US 24th Division reached the US 1st Panzer Division
General Walker judged that the US 1st Panzer Division could be deployed near Daejeon on the 2nd.
General Dean decided to withdraw from Daejeon on July 20 according to General Walker's plan.
Notified the 21st regiment commander that the withdrawal scheduled for the 19th was extended for 24 hours
