OPLAN 5029: North Korea's Nuclear Weapons Secret US Code

USA, Ta. 4 May 2020, Monday

North Korea has been the talk of the world for the past few weeks. The U.S. military is reviewing its Operation Plan (OPLAN) 5029 in the event of an accident. The plan is linked to North Korea's nuclear weapons. US Operation Plan 5029 is for a situation where North Korea's power is suddenly destabilized for some reason.

If there is a sudden instability in North Korea, it is the responsibility of the commander of the United States Forces Korea (USFK) to ensure that North Korea's nuclear weapons are not used. It is also important to keep in mind that North Korea's nuclear weapons should not be sold on the international black market. The presence of the OPLAN 5029 was first publicly acknowledged by the US military in 1999.

The main purpose of OPLAN 5029 is to secure North Korea's nuclear weapons and border when the North Korean government is unable to function or the control of nuclear weapons is uncertain. The United States also fears that North Korea's nuclear weapons could be used or stolen. On the basis of which indicator OPLAN 5029 is implemented is also a question because, if one country tries to protect another country, it also becomes considered an aggression.

Earlier, US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said that the United States would continue to work for nuclear disarmament in North Korea, regardless of the situation. "If the United States does not have a plan to reach North Korea and secure nuclear weapons, if we do not know where the weapons are, we are not doing our job," said Ralph Cosa of the think tank Pacific Forum in Hawaii.

North Korea and the United States have been at odds for years, with both countries threatening war. However, U.S. The situation seems to have changed somewhat since the visit of Korean leader Kim Jong Un and US President Donald Trump. Even during the story between Kim Jong and Trump last year, the main US focus was on preparing North Korea for nuclear disarmament. Earlier, the United States imposed all kinds of sanctions on North Korea over its nuclear weapons test.
