Abrams will sit before the U.S. Senate Armed Services Committee later this month, on September 25, for a confirmation hearing. He has long been expected to succeed Brooks as the commander of USFK, barring temporary rumors that U.S. President Donald J. Trump’s former advisor on national security affairs, Lieutenant General H.R. McMaster, may have succeeded Brooks in the USFK commander role… The commander of USFK concurrently leads the United Nations Command in Korea and the South Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command.
