The battle of the Chosin Reservoir occurred during the Korean War, often called the Forgotten War, in the mountainous northern regions of Korea. It tells the story of the Marines fighting in subzero conditions, holding off overwhelming hordes of communist Chinese troops, and exhibiting rare heroism. A strategic retreat, unfortunately, was required that showed the ingenuity of the U.S. military in overcoming seemingly impossible odds.
