Pentagon Chief: US Troops Poised To ‘Fight Tonight’ Against North Korea

Commenting on American defense strategies at the Hoover Institution in Washington DC, Carter said, "The slogan of US Forces Korea, many of you probably know, is ‘fight tonight.’ Not because that’s what we want to do, but because that’s what we have to be able to do and we are ready to do."
"North Korea stands out as the only country to have tested nuclear weapons this century."

The head of the U.S. Pacific Command has asked troops to be thoroughly prepared for possible North Korea provocations during an upcoming anniversary.

Adm. Harry Harris told U.S. military personnel at Yokota Air Base in Japan on Friday that they should be "ready to fight [North Korea] tonight," Japanese television network Asahi TV reported.

Harris made the remark during an inaugural ceremony for Lt. Gen. Jerry P. Martinez, who is now in command of U.S. Forces Japan.

Harris, who recently met with Japanese Defense Minister Tomomi Inada regarding enhanced cooperation, described North Korea's provocative actions, including missile and nuclear tests, as the most urgent threat, according to Asahi TV.

The U.S. Pacific Command chief also said that while there is room for debate regarding North Korea's progress in nuclear warhead miniaturization, it is important to work with the countries concerned to combat the threats.

"[We] must consider every possible step to defend the U.S. homeland and defend our allies," Harris said. "That's why I continue to emphasize trilateral cooperation between Japan, South Korea and the United States. And that's why all nations must continue to rally the international community to loudly condemn North Korea's aberrational behavior and be prepared to counter this challenge."

In Seoul, military authorities told local news network MBC that they are on emergency standby in preparation for more provocations from Pyongyang.

South Korean officials said North Korea could engage in any number of provocations ranging from a test-firing of a midrange ballistic missile to the launch of a submarine-launched ballistic missile, or SLBM.

The escalation of tensions on the peninsula and North Korea's continued violations of United Nations Security Council sanctions resolutions have prompted the United States, South Korea and Japan to seek tougher punishment.

On Thursday, the U.S. State Department said U.S. Ambassador to the U.N. Samantha Power is to visit with officials in Tokyo and Seoul to coordinate efforts on international sanctions.

Power is also expected to visit the truce village of Panmunjom between the two Koreas on the anniversary of the founding of the Korean Workers' Party on Monday, to deliver a message condemning North Korea provocations, according to News 1.
