South Korean in-kind payments fund unauthorized discretionary military projects

Evidence

In South Korea, U.S. forces have similarly used Korean in-kind payments for construction without the authorization or notification of Congress, and with limited or no review by the Army, the Pacific Command, or the Pentagon. Among the projects planned by U.S. Forces Korea is a $10.4 million museum for the Army’s 2nd Infantry Division. Officials described the museum as a “command requirement.” — David Vine, Base Nation_ How U.S. Military Bases…, 778
