We've heard a lot about the troop shift in Korea, so I guess its official now. As this NYT article states, the US military will rely more on swift intervention forces, and long-range bombers to protect the divided peninsular:

American commanders are making significant changes in their plans in the event of a military conflict with North Korea, to rely in large measure on a new generation of sensors, smart bombs and high-speed transport ships to deter and, if necessary, counter that unpredictable dictatorship, the senior United States commander in South Korea says.
The shift in strategy is being undertaken even as the United States cuts the number of troops here by one-third and begins moving the remaining soldiers farther from the demilitarized zone, to improve their chances of surviving any North Korean offensive.
Army headquarters in Washington has made a formal announcement that a brigade of Second Infantry Division soldiers sent urgently from South Korea to Iraq last year will not return to South Korea, but will instead return to a base in the United States. That puts the American troop commitment to South Korea on track to drop from 37,500 - a figure maintained since the early 1990's - to 25,000 by 2008.

I agree sith this. High speed transport and bombers to hold the Pacufic, major troop concentration in the Middle East, air bases and maybe a brigade in Europe, and surge forces in reserve at home.
