346:, the North Korean army, 89,000 men strong, had advanced into South Korea in six columns, catching the Republic of Korea Army by surprise, resulting in a complete rout. The smaller South Korean army suffered from widespread lack of organization and equipment, and it was unprepared for war. Numerically superior, North Korean forces destroyed isolated resistance from the 38,000 South Korean soldiers on the front before it began moving steadily south. Most of South Korea's forces retreated in the face of the invasion. By June 28, the North Koreans had captured South Korea's capital of Seoul, forcing the government and its shattered forces to retreat further south. Though it was steadily pushed back, South Korean forces increased their resistance further south hoping to delay North Korean units as much as possible.

broken into two sectors under semi-independent commands, usually the ROK Army guarding the
Eastern sector while the US Army guarding the western sector. While the events on the two sectors influence each other, transportation problems caused by the mountains in central Korean made sure that battles and events in the Eastern sector are often happening independent of the Western sector, and vice versa. Thus a lack of examination on events happening to the east of the 24th Infantry Division during the war opening, particularly the effects of the Yongdok and
234:"It was apparent to the UN forces that the ROK 3rd Division held the road 20 miles north of P'ohang-dong but that there were no defenses inland in the mountains and North Korean units had penetrated there." I'm guessing you were trying to say that North Koreans penetrated the rear of the ROK 3rd Division. Can you reword and breakdown the sentence a little to reduce confusion?
216:"this fighting was so heavy that the NK 8th Division was forced to hold its ground a week before trying to advance. Stalled again by South Korean resistance, it was forced to halt again to wait for reinforcements." I'm a bit confused, how many times did the South Koreans stalled the North Koreans? There was only one fight, but the North Koreans got stalled twice/thrice?
187:"NK 8th Division's 3rd Regiment was nearly destroyed by South Korean forces immediately, forcing its 2nd Regiment to attempt to relieve it, resulting in at least 700 casualties for the North Koreans." Unclear wording, did the 3rd Regiment suffered 700 casualties due to the fighting, or the 2nd Regiment suffered 700 casualties while trying to reach the 3rd Regiment?

on the fact that the P'ohang-dong Battle is located at the
Eastern sector, while most of the backgrounds deals with actions on the Korean War Western sector. After going through many Korean War books, the general rule of thumb is that any Korean War battles on the scale of Pusan Perimeter is normally

Ah, yes. I completely forgot about that paragraph, my apologies. I've been trying to keep the concurrent pusan perimeter battles uniform in terms of the background I provide for the battle, but I would agree this entire graph is necessary in the P'ohang-dong article. I have added it to the background

there is some inconsistency in your date format, sometimes you have "Month Day" (e.g July 20) and then at other times you have "Day Month" (e.g. 21 July), these should be consistent (I personally prefer Day Month, myself, but it doesn't really matter which format you use so long as it is the same

It is in my opinion that the background material on the battles fought by the 24th
Infantry Division needs to be significantly trimmed, due to the fact that this division's action has no direct effect on the North Korean units attacking towards P'ohang-dong. The events that actually led to the
