US to Move Troops from S.Korea to Iraq This Summer
Monday, May 17 2004 @ 05:08 PM EDT
Reuters:

The United States will move 3,600 Army soldiers to Iraq this summer from South Korea for a one-year deployment amid a worsening security situation, and does not plan to replace the troops on the Korean Peninsula, U.S. defense officials said on Monday.

U.S. officials emphasized that the United States remained committed to defending South Korea and the region from potential North Korean aggression, but one defense official said that "the 3,600 will not be replaced at this point."

The official said the deployment to Iraq, scheduled for "late summer," would leave the United States with roughly 33,500 to 34,000 troops in South Korea.
