US and South Korean special forces have been parachuting into North Korea to gather intelligence about underground military installations, a US officer has said in comments carried in US media.
Army Brigadier General Neil Tolley, commander of US special forces in South Korea, told a conference held in Florida last week that Pyongyang had built thousands of tunnels since the Korean war, The Diplomat reported.
"The entire tunnel infrastructure is hidden from our satellites," Tolley said, according to The Diplomat, a current affairs magazine. "So we send (South Korean) soldiers and US soldiers to the North to do special reconnaissance."
"After 50 years, we still don't know much about the capability and full extent" of the underground facilities," he said, in comments reported by the National Defense Industrial Association's magazine on its website.
Tolley said the commandos were sent in with minimal equipment to facilitate their movements and minimize the risk of detection by North Korean forces.
At least four of the tunnels built by Pyongyang go under the Demilitarized Zone separating North and South Korea, Tolley said.
"We don't know how many we don't know about," he admitted.
Among the facilities identified are 20 air fields that are partially underground, and thousands of artillery positions.

Did you know that our national security takes precedence over all other countries' supposed rights -even the rights that limp wristed morally vacant libertarian anarchistic idiots want to grant to other countries?

Next breaking item: US and S Korean commandos’ remains deposited at S. Korean border. Communist Regime thanks general for heads up.
Is it a turn about to the missile stuff they've tried?
Ooops too late. If they have internet service they now know the commandos are there.
..the way I see it,Odungo couldn’t go around on Memorial Day praising the military while news FROM THE PENTAGON explaining why this was happening OFFICIALLY.
It’s best to have it leaked
the false flag attack
NK and/or Iranian nukes
he told us to be careful, didn’t he?
Is Obama looking for a "absolutely necessary" war by tweaking the Norks tail?
What U.S. officer, and why isn't he in irons awaiting court martial and execution?
0bama needs a crisis...bad.
Fascists, communists, progressives...they need violence. You see this is something we so often discount about them. They have a very dark side we tend to ignore in spite of history teaching us otherwise.
While we may poke fun at them for an unwillingness to serve their country in the military...they happily riot in the streets.
Now we have one of these progressives in the White House and he watches the Occupy Movement flounder and fail to spark ....Americans into action against the values that they truly love.
So now he pulls this stuff? I don’t know ...this just feels very uncomfortable.
was just going to call in the kitty strike...
Actually, yes. Yes, I think he is. The Arab Spring is burning out, Occupy is failing, his re-election is going soft...
If he can't get a crisis to capitalize on...he will create one.
Psychological warfare is fun.
It gives the paranoids something to worry about. It keeps the Commies on their toes.
It leads to mutual suspicion and finger pointing and firing squads. It’s good for morale (ours, not theirs).
Hey Tiger hear anything????
The Bamster looking for more election mojo via leaks?
