It's the first time since the Cold War 40 years ago the United States has taken such an action.
The announcement will be made by US President Joe Biden and South Korean President Yoon Suk Yeol.A US nuclear missile submarine will visit South Korea for the first time in decades as part of a reinforced nuclear shield set to be announced at the White House by presidents Joe Biden and Yoon Suk Yeol, an official said.
The arrangement -- responding to ever-growing tension over communist North Korea's missile tests and nuclear arsenal -- echoes moves last seen when Washington oversaw the strategic defense of Europe against the Soviet Union. "We'll strengthen our training, our exercises and simulation activities to improve the US-ROK alliance's approach to deterring and defending against DPRK threats, including by better integrating ROK conventional assets into our strategic planning," the official said, referring to South and North Korea by their official acronyms.
"We are briefing the Chinese in advance and laying out very clearly our rationale for why we are taking these steps," the official said, adding that the Biden administration is "disappointed that China has been unprepared to use its influence" on North Korea.

He said out of the nearly one million Australians who served in World War Two, it’s believed “only about 5,000” of those veterans are still alive today.
