  • USFK Military Events
    • USFK Military Events (2001) -- New military; SOFA; Rising tensions between US and ROK; LPP; Korea moves to stand alone; Bioterrorism -- In Korea, it's a farce.;
    • USFK Military Events (2002) Pt I -- LPP; Korean Defense Service Medal; Impacts of 9/11 on Korea; Sunshine Policy saved at last minute; Chemical threat; Nuclear threat;
    • USFK Military Events (2002) Pt II -- Cuts in Military Strength shelved; Working up to the Invasion of Iraq -- War on Terrorism changes into War on Iraq;
    • USFK Weapons Systems (2003) -- Some of the main weapons systems of the USFK; Pros and Cons of the Stryker -- and the decision NOT to bring the Stryker into Korea because ROK refuses to allow USFK to be a regional deployable force. Units leave to never return.
    • USFK Military Events (2004) -- Seoul drags feet on troop dispatch to Iraq; Rift in intel sharing; Pres Roh impeached and worries of impact on ROK-US alliance; Anti-American violence targets soldiers;
    • USFK Military Events (2005) -- Toxic dumping civilian sentenced, but USFK does NOT dismiss him and protests the conviction. USFK zero-tolerance on prostitution and trafficking; protests muted for FE-05.
    • USFK Military Events (2007-2009) -- Items impacting the USFK Korea-wide, including changes in the US-ROK alliance and transition of 2d ID to Camp Humphreys. Still pending issues of disagreement are the cost-sharing negotiations and the WRSA-K ammunition issues. The USFK continues to "downsize" its role in a very low-key manner by shifting units to Camp Humphreys and out of country. The handing over of wartime control in 2012 still fraught with a lot of landmines by the ROK as they continue to underfund their military improvement programs ... the biggest being the reliance on the US for their Missile Defense (PAC-3) and intelligence as their C4I system does NOT work. The ROK finally received their used PAC-2 systems from Germany, but this will NOT alleviate any responsibility from the USFK.

  • USFK Relocation from Yongsan and DMZ to Camp Humphreys
    • USFK Relocation (2004) -- Protests; back and forth negotiations; ROK does NOT have money for the move that they initiated; ROK settling on Defense Ministry selling Yongsan property to pay for USFK relocation to Camp Humphreys; USFK says it will use discretionary funds to fund move from DMZ; Activists up in arms. Iraq pullouts from USFK starting to be revealed. US sticking to troop reductions of 12,000 by 2005. USFK-ROK sign Yongsan agreement -- to be sent to National Assembly. (NOTE: Our opinion is that any agreement with the ROK is like toilet paper. They will flush it down the toilet when it pleases them.)
    • USFK Relocation (2005) -- USFK as a regional deployment force is major bone of contention.Roh continues to be major pain. Yongsan to be turned over mainly "as is." Cost sharing major issues. Move to Guam becomes factor in USFK moves. China buildup a factor as well. Army prepositioned ammo stocks became an issue as WRSA-K goes defunct. ROK has only 10 days of ammunition if war breaks out. USFK reorganizes its structure.
    • USFK-ROK Dispute on LPP Camp Return over Pollution Issue: 2006-Present -- Pollution disagreement between US-ROK impacts upon the return of camps to the ROK. The ROK reluctantly took back its camps "as is" after a face-off with the USFK -- that came down to what the ROK agreed to in the SOFA but wanted renegotiated to get a "Super-Fund" type of deal where the US would pay for cleanup beyond known, imminent threat levels. This did NOT happen. The furor died in 2008 with only intermittent protests by Green Korea environmentalists in shotgun-type blasts. (On-going)
    • Cost Sharing Fiasco Continues -- The relocation plans to Pyeongtaek hinge on the ROK Cost-sharing formula under the Special Measures Agreement (SMA) and instituted in 1991 for the FIRST TIME. South Korea paid $622 million in direct costs to support USFK in 1991 -- but refused to increase its cost share in 2005 and 2006. The US position has remained that the ROK has NOT paid its fair share -- and want it to increase it to 50 percent of the costs. The ROK position is that the US is reducing its forces and therefore should be reduced. It remains up in the air. The deadline for settling this issue is Oct 2008 before the SCM. Tje latest indications are that the ROK has buckled -- but the US has made concessions that the payments will be made "in kind" -- materials and services -- not cash. (On-going)

Chart also contains information on the LPP program that will impact the on-going reorganization of the USFK. Chart also includes the Army Installation Management Agency - Korea (IMA-K) information that has changed the areas into garrisons. (NOTE: Because the USFK information is behind a firewall, information to update the chart is sporadic at best.) (OUT OF DATE)
    
    
• USFK North Korean Crisis (2004) -- North Korean brinksmanship pushes the US to the brink of war, while Roh Moo-hyun throws stumbling blocks in the way of the US in the name of his "Peace and Prosperity" policy.
  
  
• Japan-US Realignment: (2006-Present) -- Japanese events that are shaping the future of the ROK-US alliance as the Japan seeks to change Article 9 of the Peace Constitution. The continued push for the Missile Defense System that includes PAC-3 deployments around major cities and SM-3 on its Aegis cruisers. Funding of the move to Guam still "iffy" in some areas and the relocations of USFJ is in the works. The major item is that Camp Zama will house the I Corps to take over the regional contingency role -- as the USFK moves out of that role. (On-going)
  
  
• Opinions on Wartime Control Transfer (2004) -- Roh Moo-hyun on one hand demands Wartime Control, but on the other cannot afford the costs nor does it presently have the capabilities/hardware to defend itself against the North. The anti-Americanism exhibited by the Roh administration has pushed the US-ROK alliance to the brink of collapse. Opinions are on how the ROK is not fulfilling its side of the defense equation.
  
  
• Opinion on Wartime Control Transfer (2006) -- 30 Aug 2006 response to an essay by Professor Chung-in Moon at Nautilus Org. (Posted: 30 Aug 2006)
  
  
• ROK Military Events: 2003-2005 -- The ROK continued to march to its own drummer. However, Roh Moo-hyun continued to shortchange the military. The military funding dropped from 8 percent of GDP under Kim Young-sam to 2.8 percent of GDP under Roh. The best the Def Ministry could do was to reshuffle the priorities of the new procurements. Under Roh, military spending was on a hold. The telling fact of Roh was that even after the deaths of Navy personnel in a sea battle with the North, Roh NEVER visited memorial services for the dead. C4SIR (comm, intel, recon) became a major component of wartime control, but Korea tried to go cheap...and paid for it with failure. Instead of PAC-3 for its defense, it tried to get used PAC-2s for its arsennal -- and even then tried to dicker the price down. Its F-15K buys were filled with controversy -- with the French accusing the ROK of changing the rules of competition. The new AT-50 Golden Eagle "indigenous" jet trainer rolled out with great fan-fare, but no one wants it because it cost too much. Its new Aegis destroyers still were in the negotiations to get SM3 missiles. Its sub program is well underway with German design subs.
• ROK Military Events: 2006-Present -- ROK "Self-reliant" defense buildup and return of wartime control. The continuing dissolution of the CFC and the disagreements on relocation costs, cost-sharing, time-tables and LDP camp returns. ROK actions that impact on the move from Yongsan to Camp Humphreys. The ROK continues to expand on its indigenous cruise missiles -- in violation of the MTR -- there is much concern of the reliability of the missiles. The ROK is also attempting to develop its own space program -- along with military applications for its dual-purpose satellites. The ROK is also attempting to break into the arms dealers role with its new personnel carriers, K-2 tanks and A-50 trainer/attack jets. The ROK continues to attempt to build its "blue-water" Navy -- but at the expense of its coastal defense fleet. The used PAC-2 Patriot Missile Defense has arrived and the ROK continues to pursue a home-grown system. (On-going)
