The Marine Corps hosted an event on Tuesday to commemorate the 76th anniversary of the Incheon Landing Operation, a pivotal amphibious landing during the Korean War. The event, co-hosted by the Incheon city government, took place in Incheon city, near Seoul, and marked the first time since 2010 that the Marine Corps took on this responsibility, as part of a broader military overhaul aimed at restoring operational control of its two Marine divisions from the Army.
The ceremony featured a performance replicating the historic operation, which played a crucial role in repelling North Korean forces in September 1950. About 1,000 people, including the Marine Corps Commandant Lt. Gen. Ju Il-suk, Incheon Mayor Park Chan-dae, and Joseph Hilbert, attended the event.
