The command would also give the orders to subordinate military assets to strike enemy targets or intercept hostile missiles as part of the Kill Chain strategy and the Korea Massive Punishment and Retaliation plan.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Kill Chain is a preemptive strike strategy that the South Korean military would implement against key North Korean military facilities, such as missile silos, when intelligence organizations confirm an imminent attack. KMPR involves the use of ballistic missiles and highly explosive weapons against an offensive nuclear attack. Its purpose is essentially the total destruction of North Korea\u2019s capital Pyongyang.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The units and capabilities that would fall under the forthcoming strategic include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>The Army\u2019s Missile and Strategic Command, which operates Hyunmoo ballistic missiles.<\/li><li>The Air Force\u2019s Missile Defense Command, which operates <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/global\/asia-pacific\/2022\/06\/06\/south-korea-to-buy-more-patriot-missiles-upgrade-launchers\/\" target=\"_blank\">PAC-3 anti-air missiles<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.defensenews.com\/air\/2022\/07\/01\/south-korean-defense-agency-backs-buy-of-20-more-f-35a-jets\/\" target=\"_blank\">F-35A fighter jets<\/a> and Global Hawk surveillance aircraft.<\/li><li>The Navy\u2019s 3000-ton submarines that feature sub-launched ballistic missiles.<\/li><li>Military surveillance satellites.<\/li><li>Cyberwarfare- and space-focused forces.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The military is also expected to adjust the duties of the Army\u2019s Missile and Strategic Command and the Air Force\u2019s Missile Defense Command.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cThe key assets of Kill Chain and KMPR are individually managed by the Army, Navy and Air Force. I can assure that the STRATCOM [strategic command] would be highly efficient if those divided strategic assets of each military branch are combined as one single unit,\u201d Uk Yang, the associate research fellow of Asan Institute for policy studies, told Defense News.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The former commander of the Air Force\u2019s Air Defense Command, Myung-guk Kwon, agreed. \u201cThis means that one commander at a combined command center could execute offensive and defensive operations based on analyses of coherent information. I believe this will be an efficient command system.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For the chain of command, a three-star general or admiral is expected to take the lead of the planned command, with the military branches taking turns to lead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Defense Ministry also said it plans to strengthen intelligence, surveillance and reconnaissance capabilities; preemptive strike capabilities; and the country\u2019s <a
