#1 The amphibious invasion taking place off the jetties and docks of Inchon was led by General Douglas MacArthur, and his name would forever be associated with it. But the officer most directly responsible for executing the details of the initial landing was in many ways MacArthur's opposite: Oliver Prince Smith, commander of the First Marine Division.

#2 General Smith was a cerebral, soft-spoken man who had a reputation in the Corps as an intellectual. He was fluent in French, drank sparingly, and never cursed. He was a professional killer, employed in a hard trade.

#3 Smith was a by-the-book Marine who was known for his calm and gentle demeanor. He was also one of the country's preeminent experts on the tactics and logistics of amphibious warfare.

#4 Operation Chromite was a plan developed by General MacArthur to land a large force behind the lines and capture Seoul, which was the capital of South Korea. He believed that capturing Seoul would psychologically damage the North Korean army.
