This Chungmu exercise includes emergency preparedness plan inspections, situation response drills, mobilization training for technical personnel, vehicles, and construction machinery, as well as national infrastructure damage recovery training.

[Asia Economy Yang Nak-gyu, Military Specialist Reporter] Reserve forces mobilization training will resume after about two and a half years. Due to COVID-19, the last mobilization training was conducted on December 19, 2019, and was suspended in 2020 and 2021.

On the 23rd, the Military Manpower Administration announced that this year's troop mobilization training will be conducted from next month 20th to December 15th. The target is about 500,000 people, including officers and non-commissioned officers in their 1st to 6th year, and soldiers in their 1st to 4th year; those who were discharged this year are not subject to the training.

The training is originally 3 days and 2 nights, but considering the COVID-19 situation, it will be reduced to 8 hours of assembly training and 8 hours of remote education per day. Reservists who completed remote education during the past two years without mobilization training will be allowed early dismissal or considered as having completed the training accordingly this year. Reservists residing in four special disaster declaration areas due to forest fires?Uljin-gun in Gyeongbuk, and Samcheok, Gangneung, and Donghae cities in Gangwon?are exempt from this year's training.

Reservists can receive their notification letters via registered mail, mobile applications, email, etc., at least 7 days before the enlistment date, and individual training dates can also be checked on the Military Manpower Administration website.
