As a child of a USFK soldier, approximately 10,000 US troops were transferred to the mainland to treat twins who were six weeks old.

Even if the U.S. Department of Defense restricts troop movement to block the spread of Corona 19, it is eye-catching with military transport for twins only.

On the 31st, according to the USFK and the U.S. Air Force Base, the U.S. Air Force Transport C-17 took off from the Osan Air Force Base the day before carrying the twin sons of a soldier from the Daegu Base Military Police Corps.

The U.S. Air Force is known to bring a transport team from Naval Hospital in Okinawa, Japan, to Osan, and then to C-17 with twins to Walter Reed National Military Hospital in Bethesda, USA.

The twins were born 10 weeks earlier than expected at the Daegu University Hospital on the 17th of last month, weighing less than 1.1kg.

It seems that the US military decided to transport twins to the mainland because it was determined that proper neonatal treatment could be difficult due to the spread of corona19 in the Daegu region.

A US military official said, "We need pediatric treatment equipment for twins, but we don't have (in Korea)."

The U.S. military base said, "Two of the smallest US soldiers in the USFK need additional treatment." The U.S. Air Force arrived at Osan Base with the best military medical personnel at Kadena Station in Okinawa, Japan. "

"The twins left Osan and headed to Walter Reed for treatment," he said. "The C-17 flies 6,000 miles (about 9,660 km) and performs the most important mission in the Corona 19 situation."

It is said that this is the first time that the introduction of a transport vehicle to treat children in the USFK has been released.

The C-17, which was introduced at this time, is equipped with an intensive treatment facility similar to a hospital, and it is said that intensive care for newborns is also possible.

The US military explained that there was no risk of exposure to corona19 since the twins had been in the neonatal intensive care unit since birth.

The twin's parents, USFK soldiers, were isolated for three weeks and confirmed not to be infected with Corona19.
