They fought their way out past the 1/15. All histories note that.

I know some Marines would like to forget that, but it wasn't a case of the Army "linking up with" them, just being there. They were there.

I'm not going to argue with you. I don't know anything about Army unit 1/15. I'm telling you that 1st Mar Div broke out of the Chosen Chinese Cordon and fought their way back to the port of Hugnam where they were evacuated by ship along with a lot of other Army units. The only support they received was fire support from X corps of which they were part of.

I'm not afraid to admit if the Army helped out the Marines. The X Corps was made up of the 7th infantry division and ROK units. So the Army did help out in fire support.
