The job was not made easier by the fact that no one knew for sure exactly what had happened, or why; nor was there any certainty that it would not happen again.

...regular forces by 15,000, announced it would arm 2,500,000 reservists and veterans. After Pueblo was seized last month, the U.S. began bringing its two divisions in the South up to their full 50,000-man strength, flew in planes to three Korean airbases, and promised to speed delivery of $30 million worth of military equipment designed to combat infiltration from the North.
