The head of U.S. 
Forces Korea has outlined a new concept to potentially link the military capabilities of South Korea, Japan and possibly the Philippines into a “kill web” as a way of enabling a more coordinated response to mounting security challenges from North Korea, China and Russia. 
The strategy seeks to fuse the strengths of Washington’s regional treaty allies into a single, networked system coordinating across land, sea and air as well as the space, cyber and electromagnetic arenas. 
“We have to link these complementary capabilities into a kill web that achieves combined, joint, all-domain effects,” U.S. 
Army Gen. 
Xavier Brunson, who also heads United Nations Command and Combined Forces Command, told The Japan Times in a recent interview.
