In 2023, around 1.29 trillion South Korean won was allocated as the agreed defense burden sharing amount between the South Korean and United States governments. The defense burden sharing amount is borne by the South Korean government to support the stationing of United States forces in South Korea. It consists of cost related to construction work, logistics, and labor. According to the source, most of the defense burden sharing costs are redirected to the South Korean economy, with the labor costs covering the payment of South Korean employees at military bases and the logistics costs being fully used for domestic contractors.
