TheUnited Nations Partisan Infantry Korea (UNPIK;Korean:국제연합유격군 / 주한유엔군유격부대) was a guerrilla commando unit during theKorean War that was consolidated under the control ofUnited States Far East Command.
The details of the undercover operation were made public by the US Army in 1990. The unit worked deep insideNorth Korea to gathering military intelligence, conduct clandestine operation, commando style raids to cause chaos, irregular warfare, long-range penetration, recruit and lead guerrilla armies and create confusion in the enemy's rear, search and rescuePOWs, and special operations behind enemy lines.
UNPIK was disbanded in 1954.
The island Wollaedo in theYellow Sea was used as a base by pro-Southern partisans during the war. This position was regularly bombarded by Northern artillery on the mainland ofCape Changsan.
In 1952, a group of partisans working together with UNPIK landed on the cape. They successfully took control of and destroyed the artillery site, escaping with small losses.[2][3]
