Seoul looks to abandon reliance on U.S. military
International Herald Tribune ^ | Aug. 9, 2006 | Choe Sang-Hun

For South Koreans who go about their daily routine in this bustling capital oblivious to the North Korean menace only an hour's drive away, much of their sense of security in the past half century has derived from a belief that if war breaks out, the United States will take control of the South Korean military and fight as if it was America's own war.

But that sense of security has been undermined in the past week as news leaked out that President Roh Moo Hyun of South Korea was pushing for one of the biggest shake-ups in the U.S.-South Korean military alliance since it was forged during the Korean War.

Seoul and Washington - at the request of South Korea - are working on a plan that will shift wartime operational control of Korean troops from the combined U.S.-South Korean forces command, headed by an American general, to the South Koreans.
