U.S. military opens space force unit in S. Korea

Lt. Col. Joshua McCullion (L), commander of the U.S. Space Forces Korea, talks with South Korean Gen. Ahn Byung-seok, deputy commander of the South Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command, during a ceremony at Osan Air Base in Pyeongtaek, 65 kilometers south of Seoul, on Dec. 14, 2022, to mark the launch of the U.S. military's space force unit in South Korea. The creation of the U.S. Space Forces Korea, a component unit of the U.S. Forces Korea, came as Seoul and Washington are strengthening security coordination against increasingly complex North Korean nuclear and missile threats.
