US sending extra rocket unit to South Korea

WASHINGTON — The Pentagon says it is adding 400 soldiers to its force in South Korea. They are members of an Army battalion equipped with the Multiple-Launch Rocket System, an armored vehicle that fires surface-to-surface rockets.

A Pentagon spokesman says the extra firepower and soldiers were not requested by U.S. commanders in South Korea. [...] The unit deploying to South Korea on a nine-month rotation is the 2nd Battalion, 20th Field Artillery Brigade.
