Disambiguation: TF CHOSIN = Task Force Faith / Regimental Combat Team 31 (7th Infantry Division). Korean War unit, NOT a modern or Cold War-era UAP task force. No public record of UAP/UFO involvement; appears in archive context as declassified military historical documentation.

Task Force Faith (officially Regimental Combat Team 31) was a United States Army unit of approximately 2,500 soldiers from the 7th Infantry Division that served during the Korean War from August to December 1950. The task force was assigned to guard the eastern flank of the 1st Marine Division at the Chosin Reservoir and advance northward toward the Yalu River. Between November 27 and December 2, 1950, it suffered catastrophic casualties in combat against Chinese Communist Forces, with 90–95% of its personnel killed, wounded, or captured. Command passed to Lieutenant Colonel Don Faith on November 28, 1950, after Colonel MacLean was captured. The unit's heroic defensive stand enabled the Marines to conduct an orderly retreat; fewer than 385 soldiers reached Marine lines in fighting condition. Task Force Faith was eventually awarded the Presidential Unit Citation for its sacrifice.

Task Force Faith (oficialmente Regimental Combat Team 31) foi uma unidade do Exército dos EUA composta por aproximadamente 2.500 soldados da 7ª Divisão de Infantaria que serviu durante a Guerra da Coreia de agosto a dezembro de 1950. A força-tarefa foi designada para guardar o flanco oriental da 1ª Divisão de Fuzileiros Navais no Reservatório Chosin e avançar em direção ao Rio Yalu. Entre 27 de novembro e 2 de dezembro de 1950, sofreu perdas catastróficas em combate contra as Forças Comunistas Chinesas, com 90–95% de seu pessoal morto, ferido ou capturado. O comando passou para o Tenente-Coronel Don Faith em 28 de novembro de 1950, após o Coronel MacLean ser capturado. A defesa heróica da unidade permitiu que os Fuzileiros Navais realizassem uma retirada ordenada; menos de 385 soldados chegaram às linhas dos Marines em condições de combate. Task Force Faith foi finalmente condecorada com a Citação da Unidade Presidencial por seu sacrifício.
