In response to North Korea's missile launch provocations, the U.S. military also responded by releasing a video of a training exercise held in the East Sea with the South Korean navy.

From today (30th), a combined exercise in which even the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force will participate will begin.

The US carrier Ronald Reagan takes the lead and leads the combined fleet.

On the left side of the carrier are the Korean destroyers Gwanggaeto the Great and Seoaeryu Seongryong, and on the right are the US Navy cruisers Chenslersville and destroyer Benfold.

The ROK and U.S. Navy repeated a four-day joint exercise to identify, search for, and track enemy scorers.

[Kwak Kwang-seop / Commander of Naval 1st Naval Combat Team: Through this exercise, we will further improve the ability to carry out joint operations between the naval forces of the two countries and maintain the combined naval defense posture based on the solid ROK-U.S. alliance.

] When North Korea fired a ballistic missile for a while, the US military responded by releasing an unscheduled training video.

The ROK-U.S. Combined Fleet will continue its anti-submarine training by moving to the sea near Dokdo from today.

This includes the Japanese Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF) ships.

It is the first time in five years for both the ROK-U.S. carrier-carrier combined exercise and the South Korea-U.S.-Japan anti-submarine exercise.

The South Korean, U.S., and Japanese naval forces are engaged in anti-submarine training in the East Sea, in the midst of a move to prepare for the launch of a submarine-launched ballistic missile SLBM from the Sinpo submarine base in North Korea.

In response to the controversy over whether it is appropriate for a Japanese warship to approach Dokdo near Dokdo and conduct joint exercises amid the chilly relations between Korea and Japan, the Ministry of National Defense announced that the training site was selected in consideration of the expected sea area for North Korean submarine activity, in order to restore security cooperation between South Korea, the US and Japan.
