US commanders defend S.Korea war control: "US military commanders are offering a strident defense of plans to give South Korea control of both nations' forces in two years, brushing aside concerns it could worsen the threat from North Korea.
As of April 17, 2012, South Korea is set to be in control of both its own and US forces in the event of war. South Korea has already had peacetime operational control since 1994, but with a US general taking over in wartime."
