At this moment in history, one of the last symbols of the Cold War is showing signs of crumbling. In June 2000, an unprecedented meeting between the presidents of North and South Korea took place on the Peninsula. Furthermore, a recent U.S. State Department visit to North Korea moves the possibility of a North/South reunification closer to reality. The obvious benefit to reunifying the two Koreas is a reduction in military tension on the Peninsula and throughout Asia. This paper will discuss a brief historic perspective on why U. S. forces are in Korea and their importance there. Furthermore, it will determine what force structure, if any, the U.S. should maintain in Korea to ensure the security of the region.
