The Masan Defense Battle was a decisive battle during the Korean War in which the US 25th Infantry Division and the Republic of Korea Army defended strategic high ground to block enemy forces advancing toward Masan via Jinju, bypassing Jeollanam-do. The battle saw the high ground change hands 19 times, but ultimately the allied forces prevailed, dispersing enemy pressure toward the Daegu front and securing the Nakdong River defense line.
