Pocheon: South Korean and US forces conducted regular air logistics drills as part of ongoing efforts to maintain joint operational readiness. The eight-day exercises, which began last Friday, involved approximately 220 personnel from South Korea's 2nd Rapid Response Division, the US Marine Corps' 1st Marine Aircraft Wing, and other units. The drills utilized 10 aircraft, including C-130 and CN-235 military transport planes.
According to National Iraqi News Agency, the drills were conducted under a wartime scenario. Aircraft flew between front lines and rear areas, including the southeastern city of Pocheon and the city of Gimhae, to airdrop supplies, equipment, and vehicles. This marks the first instance of the US Marine Corps' KC-130J transport aircraft participating in regular training exercises.
