Supplies dropped from 3,000 meters above ground... ROK-US joint aerial resupply training

The ROK-U.S. Combined Forces Command announced on the 10th that it conducted a joint aerial resupply exercise with the participation of ROK-U.S. soldiers from the Army Special Operations Command (Special Forces), Capital Corps, Air Force Logistics Command, U.S. 2nd Division, and ROK-U.S. Combined Division.

This training was conducted in various operational situations, including diversification of drop altitudes and day and night drops, with the goal of the ROK-US joint forces supplying each other's supplies through the air.

ROK-US soldiers packed cargo needed for frontline operational units, such as combat rations, bottled water, and medicine, with parachutes and shock absorbers, and loaded them on Korean Air Force transport aircraft such as the MC-130K and CN-235.

The Special Forces conducted precision airdrop training to drop GPS cargo parachutes equipped with GPS and guidance functions at an altitude of over 3,000 meters, while the Capital Corps, the US 2nd Division, and the ROK-US Combined Division conducted tactical recovery training that included concealment, cover, and vigilance of supplies.

Jin-won Park, Chief of Staff of the Combined Forces Command (Army Major General), said, "This time, we conducted aerial resupply training using transport aircraft, but in the future, considering the changing battlefield environment, we will expand the scope of training by using various transportation methods such as transport drones."
