During the Korean War, where did the 2nd and 4th Ranger battalions conduct a combat jump?

The question tests understanding of an airborne operation by U.S. Rangers in Korea. The key idea is that Rangers conducted a combat jump behind enemy lines to disrupt North Korean logistics and seize strategic ground to support the rapid northward push after the Inchon landing. That kind of parachute insertion occurred at Munsan-ni, a village just north of the 38th parallel, making it the best choice for an airborne raid. Incheon was an amphibious assault, not a jump; Pusan and Seoul were central-field targets approached by ground or air operations rather than a Ranger parachute drop. So the combat jump took place at Munsan-ni.
