South Korea overhauls defence command
SEOUL: South Korea's army will develop a new military command centre later this year to combat missile and artillery threats from North Korea, Yonhap news agency said Sunday. "In line with a military overhaul plan, the command will be established between September and October," an unnamed government source told Yonhap. "It will be based in the central part of the country and is expected to boost South Korea's anti-artillery capabilities sharply," the source added. The new command centre will have all of the army's artillery and missiles, presently run by individual military units, under its control.
