韩国国防部长安圭伯周五敦促现役军人彻底准备从美国移交战时作战指挥权。李在明政府希望今年完成条件基础移交评估的第二阶段，目标在2030年五年任期结束前实现全面移交。该言论出现在其在Facebook上发布的新年致辞中。
国防部长安圭伯周五敦促现役军人“彻底”准备战时作战指挥权（OPCON）从华盛顿向首尔移交，因为韩国寻求今年完成条件基础移交评估的第二阶段。该言论正值李在明政府目标在2030年五年任期结束前实现该移交之际。在Facebook上发布的新年致辞中，安圭伯将全作战能力（FOC）的验证描述为“严肃的过程”，以确保韩国具备领导朝鲜半岛安全的实际能力。FOC是指评估首尔领导盟军能力的三阶段计划的第二部分。
“我呼吁部队清楚认识到恢复战时作战指挥权的国家意义和世代使命，并以统一心态彻底做好（该过程的）准备，”安圭伯在对现役军人和国防部人员的声明中表示。
韩国军方旨在两国下一次年度防长会议（定于11月举行）前完成第二阶段验证。此努力凸显了首尔在美韩同盟框架内争取更大自主性的推动，同时保持密切协调。
