The U.S. Space Force’s first foreign base will be in South Korea.
Until Wednesday, the Space Force only had domestic installations, but military leaders said a base in South Korea will allow them to keep a better eye on North Korea.
“The activation here today of U.S. Space Forces Korea … enhances our ability to defend the homelands and ensure peace and security on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia,” said Gen. Paul LaCamera, who commands 28,500 U.S. troops in South Korea.
