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

Gen. Paul LaCamera (L), commander of the U.S. Forces Korea, transfers the flag of the U.S. Space Forces Korea to Lt. Col. Joshua McCullion, commander of U.S. Space Forces Korea, 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.
