The KDVA SEC is visiting Korea as part of KDVA’s new “CFC Senior Enlisted Advisors Forum” which encompasses several events throughout Korea with Enlisted Members of CFC and U.S. Forces Korea.
KDVA Senior Enlisted Council Members participating this year are:
- CSM (Ret.) Steven Payton

KDVA is very thankful that CFC and USFK have provided this opportunity to better understand KDVA and our members’ mission to support the ROK-U.S. Alliance, our Veterans, and the Commands in Korea.
Included in this Forum is the first “KDVA SEC-CFC Leader Development Session” hosted by KDVA, led by CFC, and attended by over 100 Senior and Junior NCOs from CFC, and also UNC and USFK. The two-hour session allowed all parties to discuss topics that ranged from opportunities, challenges, rewards, and uniqueness of leading on the Korean Peninsula. The session allowed the KDVA SEC to offer information on KDVA’s mission, purpose, and vision related to advocating for the ROK-U.S. Alliance and our Veterans. We are very thankful for the leadership of Command Sergeant Major of UNC/CFC/USFK, CSM Jack Love, in attending and supporting this special event.
Their schedule includes:
- Combined Fleet Activities Chinhae Base Interactions that included Leader Development with ROK and U.S. Navy Command Master Chiefs. The group was honored to meet and pay respects to two Korean War Veterans.
- PT with ROK and U.S. Service Members.
- USO-Korea’s 50th Annual USO Six Star Salute Gala on November 30. KDVA is proud to once again sponsor USO-Korea’s Leadership Lunch that recognizes and celebrates the accomplishments of our emerging leaders of U.S. Forces Korea (USFK) and brings the military, diplomatic, and business communities together in support of the USO mission.
- Breakfast with 7th Air Force senior enlisted leaders and Chiefs on December 1.
- Visits to the Joint Security Area in the DMZ, Camp Humphreys, and Camp Casey/Hovey on December 1.
Please be on the lookout for updates and other activities between KDVA and CFC, USFK, and UNC.
