Tank attack on Chinese storage bunkers near Kumsong, North Korea in October 1951 during Operation Nomad. Members of the 5th RCT and of the first squad of “D” company, 3rd Combat Engineers accompanied the tank attack. Sorry I do not know the tank unit.

Dan says that they blew up many Communist supplies. He also said they were cut off for a while, but were able to return successfully.
I’m glad someone got to see Kumsong! (Editor)
