Van Fleet Doubts South Koreans Can Hold Front Line
General James A. Van Fleet told United Press that South Korea cannot supply a front line army capable of manning the entire length of the Korean battle line without continued United States support. He noted the ROK army totals about 35000 to 40000 men, with only a portion in effective fighting divisions, and warned that matching Communist manpower would require a million soldiers given Korea’s population under current conditions. He declined to estimate when the ROKs might reach their potential, citing too many unpredictable factors.
