U.S. to Withdraw Ground Troops From Korea in Phased Plan
The United States will pull out 6,000 troops next year and reduce total forces in South Korea to a few thousand by 1982, while boosting Seoul’s military power with equipment loans, weapons sales, and a joint command. The plan includes transfer of U.S. equipment, military aid, and support for Korea’s defense industry. Deputy defense officials described a step by step withdrawal with ongoing intelligence and logistics roles remaining. The agreement awaits congressional approval and aims to advance security ties between the two nations.
