"The North Korea
People's Army in June 1950 constituted a
ground force of eight infantry divisions at full
strength, two more infantry divisions activated
at an estimated half strength, a separate
infantry regiment, a motorcycle reconnaissance
regiment, and an armored brigade. Five of the
infantry divisions and the armored brigade had
well-trained combat personnel. Many of these
soldiers were hardened veterans who had fought
with the Chinese Communist and Soviet Armies in
World War II.
The 105th Armored Brigade had a
strength of 6,000 men and 120 T34 tanks. Its
equipment - tanks, weapons, and vehicles - was
Russian-made. The brigade had three tank
regiments-the 107th, 109th, and 203d-each with 40
tanks, and a mechanized infantry regiment, the
206th, with a strength of about 2,500 men. A tank
regiment had three medium tank battalions, each
having 13 tanks. The battalions each had three
tank companies with 4 tanks to a company. Tank
crews consisted of five men. Battalion,
regimental, and division tank commanders each had
a personal tank."
