CFC OPLAN (KOREA) 9518X-XX
OPLAN SUMMARY
1. Purpose. This plan provides for USCINCKOREA, when directed,
to deploy and conduct military operations in the designated JOA.
The plan supports CJCS Directive 01-11-9X.
2.
Conditions for Implementation
a.
Politico-Military Situation
b. Statement.
This summary provides military decisionmakers with a brief recapitulation of the major aspects of CFC
OPLAN (KOREA) 9518X-XX (U).
The OPLAN is based on planning
factors and estimates available at the time of preparation and is
subject to modification in the context of the SOUTH KOREA
contingency.
This information must be updated before adopting
COAs for the conduct of military operations in SOUTH KOREA.
c.
(U) Legal Considerations. Operations will comply with
the Law of Armed Conflict. Other legal considerations that may
have an impact on the successful implementation of this plan
center on the evacuation, care, and protection of noncombatant
civilians and their property. Care must be taken to observe the
legal rights of the many borders and neutral countries on the
periphery of the JOA. Lastly, a major concern is the processing
and handling of enemy prisoners of war, civilian internees, and
other detainees. All of these groups will be handled according
to appropriate conventions, laws, and regulations.
The
Government of SAN MARCO is responsible for long-term disposition
of detainees. More detailed information is available at Annex E
of the OPLAN.
3.
Operations to be Conducted
a. Force Requirements. The operations envisioned require a
two Corps, 6 divisions, 2 SIBs, 2 ACRs task force with supporting
ground, air, naval, marine, and special operations forces with
the necessary logistics and transportation support required to

conduct offensive military operations, preemptive strikes, and
evacuate approximately 150,000 personnel. Major forces required
include, 4-Infantry Division, 2 – Armored Divisions, 2 –SIBs, and
2 – ACRs; appropriate Corps Support units , 2- Carrier Battle
Groups, 2 Surface Action Group, 2 Marine Expeditionary Forces
(MEFs) (SOC), 2 Amphibious Ready Groups, and 6 Composite Air
Wing.
Other units required include special operations,
logistics,
and
transportation.
COMUSARKO,
CINCPACFLT,
COMMARFORKOREA, COM7th AIR COMPONENT COMMAND AF, CINCJFC,
CINCSPACE, CINCTRANS, CINCPAC, and CINCSOC provide forces and
support required.
b. Deterrent Measures. Operations Security (OPSEC) will be
maximized and deception operations conducted to minimize danger
to friendly forces and noncombatants before commencement of
movement and through all military operations in the REPUBLICS OF
SOUTH KOREA or JAPAN. Staging activities will be portrayed as an
emergency induced NEO operation.
c. Employment. The JTF mission will be accomplished by the
rapid deployment of air, sea, land, and special operations forces
into the JOA in sufficient strength to achieve the following
primary objectives:
(1) evacuate US citizens and designated
noncombatants, (2) secure key facilities in SOUTH KOREA, and (3)
conduct military operations to assist the Government of SOUTH
KOREA.
The operation is envisioned in five phases:
(1)
Prehostilities:
Alert and Staging, (2) Establish Intermediate
Staging Bases; (3) Decisive Combat, (4) Lodgment and FollowThrough, and (5) Posthostilities and Redeployment.
d.
Deployment.
CFC/JTF KOREA will establish a Global
Command and Control System (GCCS) Intercomputer Network (WIN)
teleconference capability and update Time-Phased Force Deployment
Data (TPFDD) in coordination with USTRANSCOM.
OPSEC and
deception measures will provide cover and support deterrence of
hostile activities against noncombatants.
e. Supporting Plans.
Subordinate and supporting commands
will provide their supporting OPLANS to CFC for review.
f. Collateral Plans.
There are no collateral plans that
impact on implementation of this plan.
4.
Key Assumptions
iv
UNCLASSIFIED
UNCLASSIFIED
a. Governments of neighboring nations will not assist US and
South Korea forces in stabilizing border areas controlled by the
Cartel’s paramilitary forces.
b.
South Korean military forces will not be able to secure
key installations, facilities, APODs/SPODs, and protect American
citizens.
c.North Korean elements inside the REPUBLIC OF South Korea
will continue their support of terrorism and assassinations of
public officials.
d. Nations outside the region will not intervene either for
or against the REPUBLIC OF South Korea with their own armed
forces.
e. US air forces will be able to establish and maintain air
supremacy in the Joint Operations Area.
f. The South Korean Government can provide only limited host
nation support.
g. The degree of mobilization assumed to support this OPLAN:
Selective Presidential Call-up.
5.
Operational Constraints. Employment of US Armed Forces in
the REPUBLIC of South Korea, evacuation of US citizens and other
authorized nationals, preemptive strikes, and operations to
protect critical US facilities may be actively opposed by
insurgents and possibly their sympathizers. Military operations
could be amended by ongoing actions at the State Department.
6.
Time To Commence Effective Operations.
Units will deploy
according to the Time-Phased Force Deployment Data (TPFDD). The
force listed in the Base Plan is considered the smallest force
increment that can successfully accomplish the assigned tasks.
7.
Command Relationships
a.
USCINCKOREA is the supported CINC.
b. Supporting CINCs are USCINCJFC, USCINCSOC, USCINCTRANS,
USCINCPAC, and USCINCSPACE.

8. Logistical Appraisal.
The logistical requirements of this
plan are feasible with no unique needs that call for
extraordinary contingency support outside the commands shown.
There is no present requirement for national-level mobilization
of forces, nor is any anticipated.
However, a requirement for
Presidential call-up of selected Reserve Component combat support
and combat service support units is anticipated.
In-country
supply will be accomplished per Service directives and standing
operating procedures.
Emphasis is placed on the needs of the
combat forces in Phase III.
9. Personnel Appraisal. Personnel requirements are feasible and
within needs stated in the plan.
Personnel qualified for
overseas movement and with at least 30 days remaining on active
duty will deploy according to normal Service directives,
regulations, and standing operating procedures.
10.Consolidated listing and Impact Assessment of Shortfalls and
Limiting Factors. No apparent shortfalls will have significant
impact on the execution of this plan.
Supporting commands and
agencies will ensure maintenance of capabilities to provide the
necessary combat ready forces and support.
