Korea and the United States have reached an agreement on a temporary combined forces structure following the transfer of operational control (OPCON), according to Kim Seong-min, deputy commander of the Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command (CFC). Kim announced this during a parliamentary audit that the structure will be finalized during the Full Mission Capability (FMC) assessment.
Kim emphasized that the provisional structure will be officially approved once the FMC assessment is complete. The CFC will maintain its current English name, Combined Forces Command, while being referred to as the "future CFC" in Korean to differentiate it from the existing structure. When asked about the agreement by Rep. Han Ki-ho of the People Power Party, Kim confirmed that the U.S. has agreed to Korea's proposed structure, although it remains unconfirmed pending the FMC assessment.
