A U.S. soldier acting as U.S. General Douglas MacArthur marches after a mock landing operation off Incheon, west of Seoul, September 15, 2010, to mark the 60th anniversary of the U.S.-led United Nations troops' Incheon Landing Operations against North Korea during the 1950-1953 Korean War. As Supreme Commander of Allied Forces in the Pacific, MacArthur became the head of the occupation forces in Japan from their surrender in August 1945 to 1951 and went on to command the historic amphibious landing operation in Incheon in 1950 during the Korean War.
