SEOUL, Jan. 9 (Yonhap) -- Lt. Gen. Scott A. Winter of Australia took office as the new deputy commander of the U.S.-led United Nations Command (UNC) on Friday.
Winter was inaugurated, replacing Lt. Gen. Derek Macaulay, in the ceremony at Camp Humphreys in Pyeongtaek, some 60 kilometers south of Seoul.
He is the second Australian general officer to hold the post since the UNC was established 75 years ago.
The event was attended by Gen. Xavier Brunson, commander of U.S. Forces Korea, who also doubles as commander of the UNC, along with dignitaries from the member states.
