U.S. to Share Terrorism Intel with Korean Troops

Korean military units overseas may be getting real-time intelligence on terrorism gathered by the United States. A source familiar with the matter told the Yonhap news agency that military officials are discussing ways to share information put together by the U.S. National Geospatial Intelligence Agency and the CIA with Korean troops.

The source stressed the need for Korea to gain access to detailed data the U.S. is believed to have, saying Korean peacekeeping forces such as the Cheonghae unit in the Gulf of Aden are operating in dangerous environments.
