	Crawler tractor seat pivotable to right of center - Patent 4487445
		In the operation of construction and industrial machinery such as crawler tractors, it is highly advantageous to provide the greatest ease for the vehicle operator to operate the equipment while observing and controlling the operation of auxiliary equipment positioned on the front and rear of the vehicle.
		Heretofore when the machine operator was using a ripper assembly, the stationary seat required the operator to twist his body in the seat in order to observe rearwardly for controlling and monitoring the ripper operation.
		To perform a ripping operation, ripper teeth 13 are lowered into contact with the ground over which the crawler tractor is passing, and as the crawler tractor moves forwardly a downward force is applied on the ripper assembly, 12.

		Operation Killer had no sooner concluded than plans for Operation Ripper were set in motion.
		During Operation Ripper the First Marine Division would attack as part of the 8th Army's IX Corps, the 1st Cavalry Division on its left and the 2d Infantry Division on its right.
		All the objectives of Operation Ripper were now controlled by the 8th Army, which had been attacking continuously since 21 Feb. Still, with evidence mounting that the CCF had not abandoned plans for a major offensive, LtGen Ridgway wanted to keep the pressure on.

		Strong elements of the 10th North Korean Division were operating as guerrilla bands as far south as Andong, posing a serious threat to the east flank of X Corps and Eighth Army.
		The ultimate objective of the operation was the destruction of the greatest number of enemy at the smallest possible cost in men and equipment.
		An operations order, implementing the shift, sent the 38th Infantry into Corps reserve and called for the rest of the Division to move to the west and assume responsibility for the 3rd ROK Division sector.

		There can be a wide variation in the selected operating depth of the rippers, and change in vertical position of the toolbar to achieve different depths can adversely affect the angle of attack and relative depth of operation of the various tools on the trailing implement rig.
		The four-bar linkages allow the operator to adjust the height of the secondary toolbar relative to the main toolbar dependent on the operating depth of the rippers.
		The tillage tool 30 is shown as a ripper having a subsoiler shank 130 connected by a bracket and break-away bolt assembly 131 to the aft end of a horizontal leg 132 of rectangular cross section.

	Operation Ripper
		As in Killer, the primary objective of Operation Ripper was to destroy enemy forces and equipment and hamper his efforts to conduct a new offensive.
		Also, rather than make a direct assault across the Han to re-capture Seoul, Ripper was to outflank Seoul and the area north as far as the Imjin River.
		In the event during Ripper, with 1st Cavalry Division providing cover, the 7th Marines took Hongchon which did indeed result in the CCF abandoning Seoul which was reoccupied by the ROK 1st Division, supported by the US 3rd Division, on March 15.

		Finally, as in the operations of February, General Ridgway intended to inflict maximum attrition on the enemy, and by keeping the pressure on to inhibit his preparation of a new offensive.
		Operations proceeded deliberately, the demolitions were satisfactorily accomplished, and by 1600 the landing force had reembarked.
		Only in mid-month was variety provided by a singular operation in which the remnants of the North Korean 10th Division, which the Marines had earlier been chasing through the upper Naktong Basin, moved northward, fought their way through the ROK lines from the rear, and disappeared into the distance.

	Battle Casualties and Medical Statistics: U.S. Army Experiences in the Korean War- Effects of Type of Operation and ...
		The incidence of battle casualties, however, by particular operations and tactical actions, and of nonbattle admissions by type of operation, can often provide a basis for the projection of the combined effects of certain of these variables, which are important from both the tactical and logistical standpoints.
		Casualty counts for these operations have been expanded to represent the total number hit: the killed in action plus all of the wounded in action, even those who were slightly wounded and who lost no days from duty and were CRO cases.
		The static, nature of these operations is also reflected in the fact that less than 1.5 percent of all of the regimental time was spent either in defending (defense and withdrawal actions) against enemy attacks on the main line or in counterattacking (attack actions) to restore positions (table 27).

		Such an operation would not only put the forces into positions from which they could disrupt the enemy de tenses from the rear and inflict heavy casualties but also would relieve a great deal of pressure on the Indianhead regiments making the assaults on the hills.
		The tank-infantry task force to operate in the east valley of the Division sector was commanded by Major Kenneth R. Sturman of the 23rd Infantry.
		Ridgway then decided to extend the operation to reach the 38th parallel and, by the end of March, UN troops had reached the parallel almost across its entire breadth.

		The primary objective of Operation Killer was to annihilate enemy forces below the Arizona line.

		In organizing the RUGGED operation, General Ridgway had widened the I Corps zone eastward to pass control of the 24th Division, which had been operating on the IX Corps left, to General Milburn.
		But Harris, though he no longer expected to occupy the dam area, deferred ending operations out of hope that by reinforcing the attack on the eastern peninsula he might be able to send Anderson's company in a raid to immobilize the dam's sluice gates.
		The opening phase thus would be primarily a I Corps operation involving attacks by the 3d, 25th, and 24th Divisions while requiring only a short advance by the British 27th Brigade at the left of the IX Corps.
