The U.S. and South Korean militaries will soon form a plan to create a new joint command between the two countries, becoming effective when Seoul regains its wartime operational control (OPCON) of the country’s troops.
The Ministry of National Defense announced the plans on Thursday, South Korean media agency Yonhap News reported.
