part 2 - The Commanders Major General Edward M. Ned Almond commanded X Corps, not as a part of Eighth Army butdirectly under General Douglas MacArthur. Almond, as a captain, had commanded a machine gunbattalion in France in World War I. During World War II he had been given command of the 92ndDivision, an all black unit, because General Marshall thought, as a southerner, he understood blacksand knew how to handle them. It was not a successful or happy experience. Almond s career seemedstuck until, in 1948, he was assigned to the Far Eastern Command where he became MacArthur s chiefof staff. MacArthur was sufficiently impressed with him to assign him to command X Corps when itwas formed for the Inchon landing.
