What types of fighting was used in the Korean war?

Answer 1

There are some good books on the subject from the US and UK perspective.

There were some acts of military genius - the landing at Incheon.

There was fighting against vastly superior numbers.

There were the first combat use of Jet fighters.

There were massive set-backs and enormous victories.

And after all the deaths and suffering - there was everyone back where they started.

In short, it was the same as any other war or conflict, bloody, brutal and costly.......

It was a seasonal conflict, sweat in the summer and freeze in the winter. To advance meant climbing hills and mountains because that was where the Chinese and North Koreans fought from........In my opinion, one of a kind conflict...............

I disagree: You are only illuminating one aspect of the conflict. Yes there was considerable hill to hill defence - but much of the pacific campaign of WWII was similar in parts.

The only recourse is to read a book on the whole conflict to get a feel for the different phases and aspects of the conflict.
