Korea’s Wartime Operational Control

What is it?

Sovereign power & Command authority

Limited power?

A Bit of History

Since Korean War- General MacArthur 1978 ROK-US Combined Forces

Command 1994 Operational control retrieval

Back to Operational control

Where is Our Operational Control?

Syngman Rhee

Handed operational command authority to the U.S.

Park Chung Hee

1.21 incident USS Pueblo incident 1978: ROK-U.S.

Combined Forces Command created

Head of CFC (top U.S. commander in Korea) takes control from United Nations Command (UNC)

Roh Tae-woo

OPCON redemption was part of campaign platform in 1987

Negotiations to give Korea peacetime operational control

Kim Young-sam

Peacetime operational control handed to Korea

Agree Korea will regain wartime OPCON “at an appropriate time”

Delayed due to DPRK’s pursuit of nuclear weapons

Kim Dae-jung

Nuclear development in DPRK delays talks

Also advocated transfer of wartime OPCON back to ROK

Roh Moo-hyun

Oct. 2006: both sides agree to transfer wartime command to Seoul between Oct. 15, 2009 to March 15, 2012

2007: transfer date set to April 17, 2012

Lee Myung-bak

2007 campaign platform includes reevaluation of wartime OPCON transfer agreement

2010: agreement to delay OPCON transfer to Dec. 1, 2015 due to DPRK provocations

Park Geun-hye

Another delay

1. Breaking United Nations Command

United National Command, ROK-US Combined Forces Command One of the world’s strongest military

alliances Supreme Commander: Curtis Scaparrotti Deputy Commander: 박선우

U.S. Army is automatically responsible to be involved in war when the war breaks out

2. Lack of power and information

Military force & information Need to improve military weapons Lacking information in war

3. Tension with neighboring countries

Especially North Korea

What US Commanders in Korea Said…

Sept 4th, 2006 Declassified Document “ 한국군은 오늘날에도 전쟁 수준의

환경에서 높은 수준의 전투 지휘 능력을 행사할 능력을 갖고 있다 . 주어진 위협의 성격과 준비 수준을 감안할때 , 한국군은 지금 당장이라도 독자적으로 그들의 나라를 성공적으로 방어할 수 있다 .”

General Burwell Bell U.S. Forces Korea Commander to Sec of Defense Rumsfeld Minister of National Defense

< 전작권 전환 보고서 > " 어떤 나라든 국가의 가장 큰 책임은 자국

국민을 보호하는 것이다 . 한국은 세계 12 위의 경제력과 대규모의 현대식 군대를 보유하고 있다 . 정전협정이 체결된 지 60 년이 넘은 만큼 이제는 한국군이 작전권을 행사해야 한다 . 나는 한국 합참이 전시에도 한국 방어를 통제할 능력이 있다고 확신한다… 한국군은 많은 훈련과 세계 각지에서의 임무를 통해 전작권을 행사할 능력과 준비 상태를 입증했다 .”

Gen. Walter Sharp(2008.6 ~ 2011.7)

What US Commanders in Korea Said…

Alexander Vershbow U.S. Forces Korea Ambassador(2005-2008)

“ 전작권 전환은 한미동맹의 긍정적이고 자연스러운 발전이자 더 균형적인 파트너십을 구축하는데 기여한다”

Then WHY did US accept SK’s request to retain wartime control?

1. To sell weapons

US on a superior positionMD, THAADWartime control postponement:

“until the country's forces are strong enough to maintain stability on the Korean Peninsula?”

2. To restrain China

• Pivot to Asia (Rebalancing) Policy• Korea-U.S.-Japan Alliance

3. US Camps in Korea

Cheap operational fee Total $2.7b paid to US Army in Korea

annually Direct support: $910mil national

defense expenses, camp in & out maintenance, use of Korean Army training field, KATUSA, Korean police backup,

Indirect support: Free provision of land, exempt from paying taxes

FOOD FOR THOUGHT

• 전작권을 다시 돌려받아야 할까 ?• 전작권의 양도가 우리의 군사주권을

포기하는 일인가 ?• 이것이 북한 / 동아시아 외교에 어떤

영향을 끼치는가 ?• 전작권 연기가 필요한 일이었는가 ,

아니면 또 다른 미국 눈치보기였나 ?
