Frozen Chosin
“Frozen Chosin” High Power Match
The
Frozen Chosin High Power Match is held to commemorate the fight of the
1st Division Marines
from the Chosin Reservoir in North Korea. The cold weather of December
will be a reminder
of the bitter conditions of that battle where the Chinese enemy had
greater troop strength,
excellent spirit and training, and good supplies for the weather. The
U.S. Marines facing them
were outnumbered, facing a fierce and competent foe, and had not been
properly supplied with winter gear.

match is restricted to two U.S. weapons used by the Marines in that
fight: the U.S. M1 Garand Rifle,

are not allowed in the match. Both permitted weapons must be in
