The Joint Chiefs of Staff said that the name of the US-ROK Combined Exercise in the second half of the year, which began on May 5, was to be designated as "Later US-US Combined Forces Command Training."

The ROK Joint Minister said, "The US will conduct combined command post training from 11th to 20th." This training will be conducted to verify basic operational capabilities in preparation for the transition to wartime operational control and to focus on enhancing a firm military readiness. " .

On the 5th and 8th, the US and South Korea conducted crisis management staff affairs on the basis of various national guidance and counter-terrorism countermeasures.

In particular, in this exercise, divided into 1 and 2 parts, the ROK Army Captain will be the Commander for the first time, and the US Army Captain will be the Deputy Commander.

This exercise takes the form of command post exercises where the troops and equipment are not actually maneuvered, but in computer simulation.

Although the name of this exercise was strong in the 19-2 alliance, North Korea continued to launch projectiles, such as short-range ballistic missiles and guns, with the issue of ROK-US exercises and the introduction of advanced weapons from South Korea. In consideration of this, it is known that the term "Alliance" was not used in the training name.
