美國駐韓美軍司令布倫森(Xavier Brunson)將軍在五角大廈接受專訪時,展示了兩張地圖:一張全球地圖,另一張則是從中國東海岸視角出發,描繪首爾與東京、台北、馬尼拉和北京等城市的相對位置。 布倫森強調,從敵方視角思考,有助於重新評估美軍在韓國的戰略價值。
布倫森指出,韓國擁有亞洲最強大的軍隊之一,位於中國沿海的「第一島鏈」內,對於美國在印太地區的戰略部署至關重要。 他表示,儘管有關縮減駐韓美軍規模的討論持續進行,但目前的2萬8500名美軍駐紮人數對於應對太平洋地區的任務和挑戰仍然必要。
在談到北韓時,布倫森表示,北韓與俄羅斯之間的軍事合作日益加深,包括交換部隊和彈藥,以獲取俄羅斯的導彈、衛星、潛艇和無人機技術,這可能使北韓的核計劃更加先進。 他還提到,去年北韓進行了47次彈道導彈試驗,隨著俄羅斯的援助,這一數字可能會下降,但威脅仍在。
布倫森同時擔任聯合國軍司令,負責指揮自1950年以來協助維持朝鮮半島和平的18個國家的部隊。 他表示,聯合國軍的組成和姿態可能在未來發生變化,以應對新的挑戰。 例如,紐西蘭最近派遣了一支部隊駐紮在朝鮮半島,顯示出其他國家對參與該地區安全事務的興趣。
關於愛國者飛彈系統的部署,布倫森指出,部分愛國者系統曾被調往中東支援行動,目前尚不清楚何時會返回韓國。 然而,他強調,印太司令部已確保在韓國部署其他防禦能力,以維持防禦需求。
在談到中國時,布倫森表示,中國在西海(黃海)建設設施,以及中國漁船和海軍船隻在北方界線附近的活動,引起了韓國的關注。 他認為,韓國對這些威脅的認識正在加強,並可能需要在未來進行應對。
布倫森還提到,韓國將於6月舉行總統選舉,無論誰當選,都需要面對來自北韓、中國和俄羅斯的聯合威脅。 他強調,這些威脅使得美韓日三邊合作更加重要,並可能在未來進一步加強。
🔍 三個重要觀點
- 從敵方視角重新評估戰略部署:布倫森將軍強調,從中國的視角出發,重新審視亞洲地區的地理和戰略位置,有助於更有效地部署美軍力量。
- 北韓與俄羅斯的軍事合作加劇地區安全挑戰:北韓與俄羅斯之間的軍事技術交流可能使北韓的核計劃更加先進,對地區安全構成更大威脅。
- 愛國者飛彈系統的部署調整需謹慎處理:部分愛國者系統被調往中東後,韓國的防禦能力需要其他手段來補充,以確保防禦需求不受影響。
USFK Commander Gen. Xavier Brunson Discusses Strategic Maps, North Korean Threats, and Patriot Missile Deployments
Xavier Brunson, commander of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK), emphasized the importance of viewing the Indo-Pacific region from an adversary’s perspective to reassess U.S. military deployments. He highlighted South Korea’s strategic position within the “first island chain” and its robust military capabilities as vital to U.S. interests in the region.
Brunson expressed concerns over North Korea’s deepening military cooperation with Russia, including exchanges of troops and ammunition for advanced missile, satellite, submarine, and drone technologies. This collaboration could enhance North Korea’s nuclear program, posing increased threats to regional stability.
As the head of the United Nations Command, Brunson noted potential changes in the composition and posture of the 18-nation force to address evolving challenges. He mentioned New Zealand’s recent deployment to the Korean Peninsula as an example of growing international engagement.
Regarding the deployment of Patriot missile systems, Brunson acknowledged that some units had been redirected to the Middle East, with no clear timeline for their return. However, he assured that the Indo-Pacific Command had ensured alternative capabilities were in place to meet defense requirements.
Brunson also addressed China’s activities in the West Sea, including the construction of structures and increased presence of Chinese fishing and naval vessels near the Northern Limit Line, which have raised concerns in South Korea. He emphasized the need for continued vigilance and potential responses to these developments.
Looking ahead to South Korea’s presidential election in June, Brunson stressed that regardless of the outcome, the new leader would need to confront the combined threats posed by North Korea, China, and Russia, underscoring the importance of strengthened trilateral cooperation among the U.S., South Korea, and Japan.
🔍 Three Key Points
- Strategic Reassessment Through Adversary’s Perspective: Gen. Brunson advocates for analyzing the Indo-Pacific region from China’s viewpoint to optimize U.S. military deployments and strategies.
- Heightened Threat from North Korea-Russia Military Collaboration: The exchange of military resources and technology between North Korea and Russia could significantly enhance North Korea’s nuclear capabilities, increasing regional security risks.
- Adjustments in Patriot Missile Deployments Require Careful Management: The temporary redeployment of Patriot systems to the Middle East necessitates alternative measures to maintain robust defense capabilities in South Korea.
