US 8th Army chief urges readiness beyond Korea
The commander of the U.S. Eighth Army in South Korea, Lt. Gen. Joe Hilbert, said troops must be ready for deployment outside the Korean Peninsula if ordered, calling it "irresponsible" to focus "myopically" on threats there, according to Yonhap and the Korea Times. The remarks, made to the Hong Kong-based South China Morning Post, underscore Washington's broader strategic posture, with Business Korea noting they signal potential missions beyond the peninsula. Korean reactions are not detailed in the supplied documents, which focus on the official statements rather than public opinion.
