General Brunson Takes Command of U.S. Forces Korea
USFK has a new commander just in time for Christmas:
Gen. Xavier Brunson took office as the new commander of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) on Friday, vowing a continued commitment to upholding the South Korea-U.S. alliance amid persistent threats by North Korea.
Brunson replaced Gen. Paul LaCamera to lead the 28,500-strong American troops in South Korea in a change-of-command ceremony held at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, 70 kilometers south of Seoul, attended by top officials from both nations, including acting Defense Minister Kim Seon-ho and U.S. Indo-Pacific Command Commander Adm. Samuel Paparo.
You can read more at the link, but General LaCamera is retiring after 44 years of service. That is a lot of Army! Congratulations to him on a well deserved retirement.
