US to retake control of S.Korea war games amid tensions: "US forces will regain control over a major annual military exercise with South Korea amid rising tensions with the North following the sinking of one of Seoul's warships, officials said Thursday.
Seoul's defence ministry said the Combined Forces Command led by US General Walter Sharp will retake control of the computerised war game called Ulchi Freedom Guardian (UFG) from this year.
In 2008 and last year the South's military took control of the exercise, to prepare for a scheduled transfer of wartime command in the military alliance."
