As a pattern of balance strategy, the system of alliances is one of the core means to implement America' s global strategy. And America' s overseas military existence guarantees its security. The system of alliances in the Asia-Pacific region, which is a part of America' s global system of alliances, plays the role as a mainstay, and America' s military existence serves as the cornerstone that preserves America' s security in this region naturally.The military alliance between USA and ROK, which is one of the most important alliances in America' s system of alliances in the Asia-Pacific region, was the outcome of the cold war and the tool by which America carried out its Strategy of Containment in the northeastern Asia region or even in the Asia-Pacific region. America' s military existence in ROK and the preservation of the military alliance are not only the indispensable parts that may help America implement its security strategy in Asia-Pacific region, but also important links in its strategic dispositions directed against Russia and China. The military alliance between USA and ROK, which includes the largest amounts of legal provisions, the most perfect regimes and the most complete command system for operation, has sufficiently contained the so-called 'Communism Threat' of such countries as the Soviet Union and China and enhanced greatly America' s ability to conduct military actions in the Asia-Pacific region as well. And America government also considers America' s forces in ROK as the envoy of peace and the Patron Saint of nationalism.The changes of international situation after the cold war, especially since the mid 1990s, have consistently caused America rearrange its disposition of military forces in the Korean Peninsula and in the Asia-Pacific region, which forces people pay much attention to America' s military strategies of the Korean Peninsula and the Asia-Pacific region. America' s adjustments of military disposition, a means of preserving its national interests, will undoubtedly assert profound influence on the security situation of the Korean Peninsula, the northeastern Asia region and the Asia-Pacific region.
