You know it partly joking, remember in WWII when a UK unit had brought bikes overs on D-Day. The only difference when they get off the beach it may help keep some units mobile while allowing them to use the precious cargo space of vehicle they have for transporting gear...

I can remember one exercise involving assault boats where a number of people showed up with fishing gear....

I might equip one of the Marine infantry companies with bikes. Bikes would help them get from the beaches to the canal bridge and highway interchanges more quickly. I'm sure that the LAI Company would appreciate that. AFAIK, this would be a historic first for the USMC.

Would bikes be seen as useful by higher command though given the soft ground in the area? I'm not against the idea as such, but it might be something one or more of the units landing to the west, on firmer ground, might be better having?

I was a little bored and started looking through the archive and found this: http://forum.juhlin.com/showthread.php?t=2098
Could be useful?

There are also some foreign personnel with Task Force Inchon. I figure that there is at least one German naval liaison officer, as well as one German naval gunnery spotter. All battalion-sized units operating in Poland would have at least a couple of Polish guide/translators. The Marine recon unit might include a German (KSK or Kampfschwimmer) or a Brit (RM/SBS) or a Dane (Frogman Corps). By 2000, most of the Marine rifle companies would likely contain a foreigner or two as well.
