Yes, the US military has a secret invasion plan for essentially every single possible scenario-- it would be insane to not have one. These “secret plan” stories are always overblown.

I believe that use of these bases by the United Nations Command is premised upon the mere existence of a conflict on the Korean peninsula to which the U.N. is party. If that is the case, I would expect that there is an OPLAN for support operations to implement that plan, and with the U.S. being the major non-Korean force provider, their component commands in Japan should have joint plans with the JDF. Are these the "joint plans" in question? If so, the Uri party chairman is merely playing politics. The "japan card", so to speak.
