Pusan comes to mind. We threw NG untrained troops into the perimeter there to be cut to shreds by the NK troops and they hung on by their fingernails. If the NK Army comes across the DMZ as they did 59 years ago it will be much a Deja Vu all over again. Equipment and expertise can only do so much against the numbers of men the NK Army will throw at ROK and US troops.

The units in the Pusan perimeter weren’t National Guard, they were regular Army (badly trained and ill equipped, true), mostly initially from the garrison in Japan.

The NK army is way obsolete (1950’s-1960’s vintage for the most part) and their heavy weapons haven’t gotten much in the way of spares from the Soviet stocks since 1990. Their tanks and artillery would be massacred by the South Koreans if they tried to attack.

SK forces aren’t the semi-policemen they were in 1950.
