The US-ROK coalition training, which was promoted to the next month, seems to be inevitable as the coronal 19 daily confirmers in the mainland of the United States set the record for the highest number of days per day.

According to government sources, Korea and the United States are negotiating plans for a combined command post in the second half of the month, expected to be mid-next month.

However, it has been reported that there is no decision as to whether to proceed with a reduction in size or delay or delay considering the corona situation.

The Ministry of National Defense repeatedly reiterated the official position of the recent question about combined training, saying, "The United States and the United States are working closely together to promote the evaluation of full operational capability conversion during the combined exercise while considering overall conditions such as Corona 19."

It is known that the spread of Corona19 in the United States is affecting the delay.

The United States is breaking the record for the highest number of daily diagnoses each day, with over 69,000 new patients on Corona 19 on the 10th.

The number of cases in which US soldiers in Korea recently received a corona19 positive decision is also increasing.

On the 9th and 10th only two days, 16 people, including soldiers from the United States and civilian workers in the United States, were confirmed by the prosecutor's office.

To date, the total number of confirmed confirmed USFK personnel, including soldiers, military personnel, and family members, has reached 70.

During the ROK-US Combined Training, hundreds of US troops are known to enter South Korea by charter or civilian aircraft.

It should also be taken into account that US troops entering the country must remain in quarantine for two weeks regardless of the results of the Corona19 test.

In addition, although the combined command post training is conducted in the form of a war game in which the troops and equipment are not maneuvered and run through a computer simulation in a bunker, it is pointed out that an enclosed training environment increases the risk of corona19 infection.

Therefore, the United States is said to be in an atmosphere to train with a focus on checking the preparedness of the coalition, which was not possible in the aftermath of the Corona 19 in the first half even if this time reduced.

Combined Commander Robert Abrams also said in a lecture at the 6th ROK-US Alliance Forum on the 1st that he was postponing the training of the United Nations Command Center in the first half.

The two nations postponed the first half of the combined training in the aftermath of the Corona 19 and replaced it with combat staff training and cadre training to improve the capabilities of the combined command post.

Some observers say that the situation in Corona 19 in the United States has become more serious than during the first half of training, and that the training for the second half may be postponed indefinitely as it is expected to be less likely for the time being.

A military source said, "It would not be easy, even if the size of the combined command post training is reduced, but it will not be easy because large numbers of people must be gathered."
