The exercise is under way at the Korea Combat Training Center (KCTC), a facility employing cutting-edge technologies for realistic ground drills, in the northeastern county of Inje.
The drills mobilized some 2,500 troops to the facility, including a platoon of the UAE’s armed forces and a unit from the 22nd Infantry Division, as well as over 200 pieces of military equipment, such as tanks, helicopters and unmanned aircraft.
