The U.S. Army has begun the process of stationing MQ-1C Gray Eagle unmanned aircraft in South Korea as part of its strategy of outfitting each division with a Gray Eagle company. Some media outlets interpreted the move, announced by U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) on March 12, as responding to recent missile launches by North Korea.
