South Korea’s air force will join U.S. Space Force-led joint military drills aimed at bolstering the latter’s defense capabilities in outer space.
This is part of a broader agreement reached Aug. 27 during a bilateral meeting between Republic of Korea (ROK) Air Force chief of staff, Gen. Park In-ho, and U.S. Space Force Gen. John W. Raymond, chief of space operations, at Peterson Air Force Base in Colorado Springs, Colorado, according to an Aug. 29 ROK Air Force news release. Park has been visiting the U.S. since Aug. 25 at Raymond’s invitation.
Under the agreement, the two sides will also set up a joint consultative body on space policy, share information on space surveillance and improve joint space operations capabilities such as missile defense.
