On this year's Armed Forces Day, a strategic command will also be established with the main mission of deterring and responding to North Korea's nuclear weapons and weapons of mass destruction.
To this end, the founding ceremony was held with the participation of South Korean and U.S. military officials, including Defense Minister Kim Yong-hyun and the commander of the U.S. Forces Korea.
