"This exercise is a training event focused on integrating ROK (South Korea) and US Alliance logistics capabilities within air, land, maritime, space and information environments," the Combined Forces Command (CFC) said.
These logistics capabilities can be used during humanitarian assistance and disaster relief operations, contingencies or crisis response, it added.
The defense-oriented training will involve around 2,500 American and 12,000 South Korean soldiers, with dozens of warships to be mobilized. (Yonhap)
