As a usage of Army Preposition Stock 4 (APS-4), some 100 upgraded Bradley M2A3 infantry fighting vehicles of the United States forces reached at Busan port in South Korea on Oct. 4.

The U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) said that fighting vehicles are going to be transported to Camp Carroll in Waegwan, North Gyeongsang, and will be used as Army Preposition Stock 4. It also said that USFK’s operational capabilities and combat readiness will be maintained at best through a replacement of military supplies from old to new ones.

New U.S. military arms will be mobilized in frontline in advance in order to shorten the time of U.S. augmented forces reaching South Korea in emergencies. APS-4 refers to U.S. arms in readiness for Asia-Pacific regions, including South Korea.
