Performance Work Statement

1.0 Background

The United States Forces Korea (USFK) mission is to defend the Republic of Korea (ROK) against external aggression and to maintain peace and stability in East Asia. The armed forces of the United States have been serving in Korea, defending freedom, since the outbreak of the Korean War in June 1950. Since then, the ROK – US Alliance has evolved into one of the strongest, most effective alliances in the world.

The ROK – US Alliance is moving towards OPCON transfer in 2012 and Alliance Transformation. The alliance will transform to a Republic of Korea-led defense structure with U.S. forces in a supporting role. The security of the Republic of Korea will be guaranteed by a continued U.S. commitment that provides immediate air and naval-centric capabilities; and U.S. ground forces and command and control elements located in two central “hubs.” The Republic of Korea Joint Chiefs of Staff will exercise armistice and wartime operational control of Republic of Korea military forces. The ROK-US will form two separate and complementary commands; the Republic of Korea JCS and the United States Korea Command (USKORCOM). These commands will remain closely linked and will work together to train and plan for the defense of the Republic of Korea.

As a sign of commitment to this alliance, the US has implemented Tour Normalization for U.S. military personnel stationed in Korea. Tour Normalization will convert one-year unaccompanied assignments in Korea to normal three-year accompanied tours, allowing U.S. service personnel to have their families with them. This initiative, approved by the U.S. Secretary of Defense in December 2008, will greatly contribute to the long-term health of the Alliance.

KEY RESOLVE and FOAL EAGLE (KR/FE), held concurrently each year, ensure combined forces readiness while visibly demonstrating the strength of the Alliance. FE is a large scale combined Field Training Exercise, which includes the strategic deployment of U.S. forces from bases in the United States as well as the participation of 200,000 ROK troops. KR, is a Command Post Exercise focused on crisis management. ULCHI FREEDOM GUARDIAN (UFG), an annual computer-simulated warfighting exercise, focuses on training and certifying the 2012 and beyond future command structure.

The U.S. KORCOM Commander will assume a doctrinally supporting military relationship and will maintain national command over all U.S. forces in the future command structure. KORCOM will be a fully capable and resourced U.S. joint warfighting command. To achieve this realignment of roles and responsibilities, in 2007 the ROK and U.S. established and agreed to a transition road map – the Strategic Transition Plan (STP) – to identify requirements and milestones leading to OPCON transition in 2012. Prior to the ROK assuming wartime operational control of its own forces, U.S. and ROK planners are developing new terms of reference, crisis action standard operating procedures, wartime C2 procedures, and operational plans through formal Alliance consultative processes such as the Security Policy Initiative and the annual Security Consultative and Military Committee Meetings.
