USFK Commander Says OPCON Transfer Should Be Complete by 2029

I have literally heard of the U.S. transferring OPCON for over 20 years, so forgive me if this is one of those issues I will need to see before I believe it will happen:

South Korea and the United States aim to meet conditions required for the transfer of wartime operational control (OPCON) to Seoul no later than the first quarter of 2029, the top U.S. general in the Asian country said Wednesday.

U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) commander Gen. Xavier Brunson made the remarks during a House Armed Services Committee hearing in Washington, as South Korean President Lee Jae Myung’s administration seeks to retake wartime OPCON from the U.S. before its five-year term ends in 2030.
