We go Together – Gatchi-Gapsida –

The alliance between USA & Korea is based on the Mutual Defense Treaty between the Republic of Korea and the United States of America, which reflects the First President Syngman Rhee’s strong determination to secure U.S. guarantees against the threat of a renewed invasion from North Korea, both before and after the signing of the Armistice Agreement on July 27, 1953, that ended the Korean War. Over time, the Mutual Defense Treaty evolved into the Korea-U.S. alliance, giving birth to the Combined Forces Command, which has since been the cornerstone of security on the Korean Peninsula and in Northeast Asia.
