pentagon changing plans around the world

If the new command is established, it would probably be headed by a four-star general and control U.S. forces based in Japan and Korea, except for those attached to the Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command here.
"Officials have not determined the command relationship between the new command and the Pacific Command in Hawaii, which now directs American forces in Korea and Japan," the source said. But he added that it was probable that the current four-star rank of the head of the Combined Forces Command would be downgraded.
Another military source here said the Pentagon was changing its previous plans and would establish a Battle Simulation Center specializing in Northeast Asian situations in Japan. Until now, most experts thought that center would be located in Korea.
(who is attention & what does he want with my money?)
