'Circular deployment' Some equipment from the U.S. Striker Brigade arrives in South Korea.

Some equipment, including wheel-type armored vehicles, which will be operated by the U.S. Army's 1st Striker Brigade, which will be deployed in South Korea, came into the country through Gwangyang Port last month.

The U.S. Eighth Army in South Korea said it regularly plans and deploys rotational forces in the Republic of Korea.

The 1st Strike Brigade will be deployed under the 2nd U.S. Division in Korea to replace the role that the 3rd Cavalry Regiment has been playing.

In a related development, 2nd Division Chief Charles Lombardo said he welcomed the 1st Striker Brigade, which will be stationed in South Korea, and that they will increase the interoperability of the combined division and strengthen their alliance with South Korean partners.
