US-South Korea Military Drill Concludes Amid Regional Security Concerns
According to a joint statement, the 11-day operation focused on simulating wartime conditions while strengthening combined military preparedness “across all domains.”
Roughly 18,000 troops took part in the drills, though the number of field training exercises was reduced to about 22, compared to 51 held the previous year.
Officials indicated that future exercises will be distributed throughout the year, a move intended to leave room for possible diplomatic engagement.
As stated by authorities, the training also evaluated progress toward transferring wartime operational control from Washington to Seoul—an objective that South Korea has pursued for years.
Meanwhile, North Korea condemned the drills, describing them as “rehearsals for invasion,” and responded by carrying out several ballistic missile tests during the exercise period.
