According to a South Korean military official on the 29th, of the 11 GPs that were destroyed or evacuated under the September 19 military agreement, the South Korean military plans to restore its original form starting with the one in Goseong, Gangwon Province, where the original remains.
Prior to the withdrawal of all GPs in the demilitarized zone (DMZ) based on the September 19 military agreement, North and South Korea completely destroyed 10 GPs in January 2019 as a test measure, and removed one.
decided to preserve the original model after withdrawing its troops and equipment. The reason why the South Korean military decided to revive the former from the Goseong GP was that since the original model had been preserved, it could be put into operation immediately by sending in only the troops and equipment.
This is not only possible, but also because it is in an important position militarily. Currently, Goseong GP is registered as a unified historical relic and cultural property due to its military and historical value.
As a result, the South Korean military is expected to move ahead with full-scale restoration of the GP after the Cultural Heritage Administration's designation as a cultural property is lifted.
Prior to this, North Korea announced through a statement from the Ministry of Defense that South Korea would take measures to suspend part of the September 19 military agreement following the launch of North Korea's military reconnaissance satellite.
He announced that he would resume all military measures that had been suspended due to the lack of security. Since the 24th of this month, North Korea has also deployed troops to the 11 GP locations that it has destroyed or withdrawn from, and is constructing military bases.
, heavy weapons such as recoilless rifles were also brought in. The South Korean military plans to closely monitor North Korea's movements and take countermeasures such as additional GP revenge.
