[edit] History

The 10th Infantry Division (Motorized), was a military formation of the Korean People's Army during the 20th Century. It may have been formed at Sukchon as early as March or April 1950 and consisted of a cadre of experienced People’s Army officers and NCO’s and new recruits.

From the date of its formation to June 25, it trained at Sukchon, then moved to Chaeryong for a month’s training under Soviet advisors in night fighting and mountain warfare. The unit was originally composed of the 25th (Motorized), 27th (Motorized) and the 29th Regiment (Motorized) in addition to an artillery regiment, though the Korea Insititute of Military History indicates that the unit may have been established with the 107th Regiment rather than the 29th Infantry and that it also included an unidentified armor regiment.^[1]

Was part of the North Korean advance from Seoul to Taejon.

Fought in the Battle of Pusan Perimeter.^[2]
