S.Korea to Deploy Baekho Command Post Vehicles in 2023
The Republic of Korea Armed Forces will reportedly start fielding an advanced command post later this year.
The 20-ton wheeled vehicle, Baekho, will first be deployed to the Army TIGER brigade, officials were quoted as saying by Yonhap news agency.
The vehicle is expected to allow commanders to lead units while on the move compared with existing tent-type posts that take time to set up and disassemble, and are more susceptible to enemy attacks.
Based on the Army's K808 armored vehicle, the wheel-type command post can carry up to 11 people, defend against chemical, biological and radiological attacks, and be equipped with a K-6 heavy machine gun.
