AB - This study examines the role of the CINCUNC in the early armistice negotiations of the Korean War, focusing on an operational-level analysis. It analyzes the military operations and negotiation processes carried out by the CINCUNC, highlighting the significance of their role in advancing the armistice negotiations. To date, research on the Korean War armistice negotiations has primarily centered on the progression of the negotiations, the strategies employed by both sides, and the analysis of major issues.
Specifically, analyses of the negotiation process have focused on the impact of internal conflicts among U.S. policymakers, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, key relevant countries, and the communist side. However, the proactive role of CINCUNC Ridgway has not been addressed. This study analyzes Ridgway's role at the operational level, focusing on the Line Kansas-Wyoming and the summer offensive. Ridgway established the Line Kansas-Wyoming as the UN forces' main defensive line during the armistice negotiations and used the summer offensive to pressure communist forces, contributing to the UN negotiation delegation's ability to secure and maintain the initiative. The research findings indicate that Ridgway played a decisive role in securing and maintaining the initiative for the UN negotiation delegation during the early armistice negotiations. In the military demarcation line negotiations, Ridgway pushed for offensive operations centered on the Line Kansas-Wyoming to secure military superiority. The UN forces' military superiority pressured the communist side to abandon their previous claims, creating conditions conducive to swiftly concluding the military demarcation line negotiations.
