US Army Prepares Troops Deployed In South Korea For WMD Attack<\/a><\/h3>\n

On Thursday, amid de-escalation chatter, President Trump once again insisted that US military action in North Korea remains a possibility should the North continue its threatening behavior against the US and its allies. If the US were to strike, it would be a \u201csad day\u201d for the isolated North, Trump promised, adding that while \u201cit would be great\u201d if the issue of containing the North\u2019s nuclear program could be resolved without military action, \u201cnothing is inevitable.\u201d Not peace, not war.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, instead of remorse, Kim Jong Un has only expressed what appears to be frustration that global financial markets aren\u2019t taking his threats more seriously, and has vowed to continue. With its neighbor and client state threatening to upset the global apple cart, China on Thursday hinted that it could support tighter UN economic sanctions, but also pushed the two sides to begin a dialogue. Meanwhile, Russia Today<\/a> reports that the US military is continuing to prepare for another ground war on the continent. A recent procurement posting suggests that the US Army is seeking a contractor to train its forces in South Korea to respond to potential attacks involving a weapon of mass destruction. <\/strong><\/p>\n

According to a contract proposal posted by the Army on the Federal Business Opportunities website<\/a>, the Army\u2019s 718th Explosive Ordnance Disposal Company (EOD) in South Korea should be taught to identify hazardous materials, \u201cknow how to perform basic control, containment and\/or confinement operations,\u201d and implement decontamination procedures<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

The contractor would be expected to provide a two-week training course, taught on-site at the US Camp Humphreys base in South Korea. The US has 25,000 troops deployed at some 80 sites across the country. In August, the Pentagon posted another proposal that hinted at heightened anxieties about an attack: Contractors were needed to build walls around four US bases, according to Russia Today.<\/a><\/p>\n
