The US military has activated its first Space Force command on foreign soil in South Korea, with the unit’s new commander saying he is ready to face any threat in the region
The US military activated its first Space Force command on foreign soil on Wednesday in South Korea, with the unit’s new commander saying he is ready to face any threat in the region. The creation of the US Space Forces Korea gives the newest branch of the US military its first official presence on the Korean Peninsula at a time when North Korea has been testing ballistic missiles at a record pace and China has been building up its ballistic missile forces.
“Myself and my guardians are ready to go, day or night,” he said, using the official term for US Space Force members. “That’s we want the adversary, whoever that adversary is, to take.” McCullion acknowledged that the new force, established as a separate military branch in December 2019, has been the object of satire in the media, with some mocking its relative youth and comparing it to “Star Trek.” But he said nobody should underestimate the force’s abilities.
