South Korea Proposes Joint Operations Command Creation
A special advisory committee in South Korea recommended establishing a joint operations command and other structural reforms on Tuesday, the defense ministry said, as Seoul seeks wartime operational control from Washington within President Lee Jae Myung's term ending 2030. It urged shifting operational duties from the Joint Chiefs, creating a space command, scrapping a Drone Operations Command, deploying L-SAM and anti-ballistic systems, and boosting defense R&D by about 10% annually to fund AI, semiconductors and robotics.
Scoring Rationale
Official defense recommendations drive actionable military reform, but scope is national and details remain provisional.
