Wartime operational control transfer: USFK commander says 'environment has changed'; Seoul emphasizes stance remains unchanged ZH戰時作戰指揮權移交 駐韓美軍司令稱「環境改變」 首爾強調立場未變
Newtalk新聞 韓國總統李在明此前多次重申,預計在本屆政府任期屆滿前,完成戰時作戰指揮權由美方主導轉為韓方主導的移交程序。不過,駐韓美軍司令布朗森(Xavier Brunson)卻表示,由於環境已經產生變化,因此原訂移交計畫也做出改變,同時也有新的標準要遵循。對此,韓國國防部今(15)日強調,首爾立場沒有改變,就是只有雙方共同商定的條件獲得滿足後,才會進行移交。 據《路透社》今日報導,布朗森於當地時間週三在華府「戈爾德國際戰略研究所」(Gold Institute for International Strategy)一場活動上表示,自從韓美同盟制定戰時作戰指揮權移交條件以來,相關安全環境及作戰計畫都已發生變化,而且由於相關條件已經改變,也因為他們改變了作戰計畫,因此現在有新的標準是必須遵循。 韓國國防部鄭發言人今(15)日表示,韓美今年正為推進完全作戰能力(FOC)驗證,依照「基於條件的戰時作戰統制權移交計畫」(COTP)進行共同評估;韓國國防部立場沒有改變,也就是只有在韓美雙方共同商定的條件獲得滿足後,才會進行戰時作戰統制權移交。 鄭發言人指出,目前雙方仍存在部分歧見,將依據共同商定的條件及評估標準持續協商,並力拚在今年韓美安保協議會(SCM)前完成相關驗證。 對於近年北韓陸續發展極音速飛彈、潛射巡弋飛彈等新型威脅,是否代表原有戰時作戰指揮權移交條件有必要增列或調整,鄭發言人表示,國防部並非認為「沒有必要」,但韓美目前已有共同商定的條件,韓國軍方過去20年也持續為達成相關條件進行準備;北韓核武及飛彈威脅等情勢,韓美雙方則持續保持密切協商與合作。 她並強調,現行戰時作戰統制權移交條件是韓美雙方共同商定,並非韓國單方面堅持。韓國國防部正式立場仍是依照COTP持續推進相關程序,韓美也將為維持同盟及強化對北韓聯合防衛態勢,就各項同盟議題保持密切溝通與協商。延伸閱讀:仁川隨機持刀攻擊案釀8傷! 犯嫌戴電子腳鐐惹議 李在明怒下令檢討有8 項社福津貼卡住、影響318萬人 卓揆再籲立院速審追加預算案韓國瑜將現身廟口音樂會站台 柯志恩:有信心一定會引爆人潮 新版財劃法權重公式不公 林智鴻籲爭取台積電總部遷高雄 會晤美參院軍委會主席 林佳龍爆料:賴清德反覆觀看維克「川習會」期間的發言
