Remote Reserve Forces Training Next Month... 2 Hours Deducted

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] Remote education will be conducted next month only for reservists subject to mobilization training. This is a substitute education due to the cancellation of this year's reservist training amid the COVID-19 pandemic.

On the 29th, the Ministry of National Defense announced that remote education will be conducted from the 8th of next month by dividing reservists into annual groups. Those who wish to participate can access the Reservist Remote Education website (www.yebigun.or.kr) during the course period corresponding to their year and take four subjects (totaling 2 hours). The lectures consist of reservist service, first aid, nuclear and chemical-biological defense, and introduction to each military branch, including practical videos.

The course periods are October 8?28 for 5th and 6th year and 7th and 8th year deferred supplementary training reservists, October 29?November 18 for 3rd and 4th year, and November 19?December 9 for 1st and 2nd year. Those who complete the remote education will have 2 hours deducted from the mobilization training hours they must attend next year. Reservists who completed remote education last year will have an additional 2 hours deducted next year.

Reservist mobilization training has not been conducted since last year due to COVID-19, and the Ministry of National Defense plans to announce next year's implementation plan around January, considering the COVID-19 situation and government quarantine guidelines.
