The space command of United States Forces Korea (USFK) will be tasked with sharing information from the U.S. military’s reconnaissance satellites with South Korea and Japan, following recent plans by the three countries’ defense chiefs to heighten missile defense cooperation against the rising military threat from the North.

A USFK spokesperson told Radio Free Asia (RFA) that the United States Space Forces Korea, known as SPACEFORCE-KOR within the U.S. military, will be charged with operating a shared early warning system (SEWS) with U.S. allies in the region.
“SPACEFOR-KOR is also responsible for establishing international partnerships within their area of responsibility, including those efforts to establish real-time trilateral missile warning information sharing between the U.S., ROK, and Japan,” an official from the command told RFA, referring to South Korea by the acronym for its official name, Republic of Korea.
