<p>UN aerial reconnaissance had difficulty sighting the Chinese PVA
units in daytime, because their march and bivouac discipline minimized
aerial detection. The PVA marched “dark-to-dark” (19:00–03:00), and
aerial camouflage (concealing soldiers, pack animals, and equipment) was
deployed by 05:30. Meanwhile, daylight advance parties scouted for the
next bivouac site. During daylight activity or marching, soldiers were
to remain motionless if an aircraft appeared, until it flew away; PVA
officers might shoot security violators. Such battlefield discipline
allowed a three-division army to march the 286 miles (460 km) from
An-tung, Manchuria to the combat zone in some 19 days. Another division
night-marched a circuitous mountain route, averaging 18 miles (29 km)
daily for 18 days.</p>
<p>Not having been in harms way I have difficulty imagining what it must
be like for any soldier, especially for a country whose officer’s might
shoot you and viewed you as cannon fodder destined for human wave
attacks against the United Nations positions.</p>
