Bechtol, Jr., details constraints faced by the army of the Democratic People¿s Republic of Korea (DRPK) in any attempt to invade the ROK. Although much of the surface-based defense capability in the South is transitioning to the ROK army, a strong U.S. airpower presence demonstrates U.S. commitment to Korean security, counterbalances the DPRK¿s offensive systems, and deters war.
