Abstract
Abstract : Since peacetime Operational Control (OPCON) of selected ROK Army forces was transferred from the United States to the Republic of Korea (ROK) Joint Chiefs of Staff (JCS) in 1994, a more positive and equitable relationship has been developed between the ROK and U.S. militaries. Meanwhile, the United States has restructured its forces in Korea to cope with new challenges in the 21st Century through modernization, force reduction, and relocation of the U.S. Forces Korea (USFK). Likewise, the ROK military has improved its capability to conduct theater operations and its self defense capability by transforming. Since then, the ROK leadership has become convinced that it is necessary to transfer wartime, as well as peacetime (Armistice period), command authority to the ROK government. The ROK Government anticipates this transfer occurring within the near future with the extension of its political-military role.
