 The resolution called on the North to immediately halt its invasion and to move its troops back to the 38th parallel .

 The resolution was seen as a political victory for the United States , as it identified North Korea as the aggressor in the conflict . Earlier in the day , independent of the UN resolution , Truman had ordered the Joint Chiefs of Staff to contact US Army General of the Army Douglas Macarthur , who was in charge of US forces in the Far East . He ordered MacArthur to prepare ships for the evacuation of US citizens from Korea , and authorized him to send ammunition and supplies to Pusan to support South Korean forces in the Seoul @-@ Kimpo area . These would be escorted by US military units . He instructed MacArthur to send a survey team into the country to assess the situation and determine how to aid South Korea . Truman also ordered the mobilization of the US Navy for movement into the region .

 Resolution 1313 was a significant shift in attitude for UNAMSIL , away from its previous neutrality to support of the Sierra Leone government , a shift that made the governments of several troop @-@ contributing nations uncomfortable . In particular , the governments of Jordan and India — two of the largest contributors , with nearly 5 @,@ 000 troops between them serving with UNAMSIL — were moved to withdraw their forces . The withdrawal coincided with the end of the rainy season , after which there were fears that the RUF would resume its advance towards Freetown , and the UN and British government feared that UNAMSIL would be vulnerable . As a deterrent , the ARG was once more deployed off the coast , and was instructed to conduct amphibious landing demonstrations as a show of force .
