In late July 1950, after continual setbacks in South Korea, desperation drove General MacArthur to order the formation of commando/raider forces from FECOM headquarters, to solicit British Royal Navy Far East support, and to press U.S. Commander, Naval Forces Far East (COMNAVFE) “to conduct harassing and demolition raids against selected North Korean military objectives and execute deceptive operations in Korean coastal areas” to disrupt enemy lines of communications and supply and to deceive the enemy.

While this was happening, the FECOM Adjutant General (AG) screened records for candidates to organize a “Raider Company” from General Headquarters (GHQ) volunteers. This Provisional Company would be made up of volunteers from Special Operations Groups worldwide, including the USMC Raiders and Royal Marine Commandos.

It is the morning of the 15th of August 1950, after being ferried by submarine, the newly established Provisional Raider Company attempt their raid on the Kosong region with the intention of delivering a significant strike to the Korean People's Army.
