Just landed at Osan Air Base for my 4th visit to the Republic of Korea as Secretary of Defense. While in 🇰🇷, I'll underscore the United States' ironclad commitment to the U.S.-ROK Alliance.

.@POTUS-- together with Japan and ROK leaders--made historic agreements this summer at the Camp David Summit. Today, I participated in trilateral discussions with Ministers of Defense from Japan and ROK to advance our mutual lines of effort from that important Summit that further strengthens our alliances and shared vision of a free and open Indo-Pacific.

In each new generation, our veterans have pledged their lives to defend our country and our Constitution.

On this Veterans Day, I extend my deepest appreciation to America's veterans and their families for all they have given to keep America secure and strong.

.@SecDef is in the Republic of Korea to build on the alliance’s momentous year. He kicked off his visit with a trilateral meeting alongside his ROK & Japanese counterparts and will participate in the 55th annual SCM & inaugural ROK-UN Command Member States Defense Ministerial.

"More capable, more forward, and more integrated with our allies and partners." One year from the public release of the National Defense Strategy, Dr. Mara Karlin and @DepPentPressSec discuss strategy implementation and how we're realizing its focus. #NDS

B61-13 will "replace some of the B61-7s in the current nuclear stockpile and have a yield similar to the B61-7, which is higher than that of the B61-12." Bomb will not increase overall size of US nuclear arsenal. See also fact sheet below. #deterrence

👇From @DeptofDefense. Biden administration preparing to pursue "modern variant of B61 nuclear gravity bomb, designated B61-13." Bomb will strengthen US nuclear deterrent & provide addl option to POTUS for "certain harder & large-area military targets." 1/https://t.co/l7u369Q1cC

Thanks @BrookingsFP for an excellent discussion with Dr. Mara Karlin, @DeptofDefense’s lead pen for the Nat'l Defense Strategy. Nearly one year since its public release, @SecDef has been very clear that the #NDS is DoD’s 'North Star' (1/3) https://t.co/Kxudde7fxu
