Eulji Exercise Conducted Nationwide from 22nd to 25th... 480,000 Participants from 4,000 Institutions

Checking National Crisis Management and All-Out Response Capabilities

[Asia Economy Reporter Lim Cheol-young] The Ministry of the Interior and Safety announced on the 21st that it will conduct the Eulji Exercise for 3 nights and 4 days from the 22nd to the 25th to establish a national emergency preparedness posture.

The participating institutions include more than 4,000 organizations such as central and local governments at the city, county, and district levels, major public institutions, and key management target companies, with about 480,000 people participating. In the past, the Eulji Exercise was scaled down to emergency preparedness posture training due to the COVID-19 situation, but this year, all personnel from all institutions will participate normally.

This year's Eulji Exercise is planned to be conducted to respond to real situations, reflecting the more complex and difficult international situation and security environment than ever before. Officials were provided with educational materials containing key mission contents for all stages from preparation to post-processing, including exercise method considerations, so that they thoroughly understand the meaning of the Eulji Exercise and engage in the training.

In addition, to enhance officials' ability to perform wartime duties, surprise emergency assembly drills and wartime organizational formation drills to switch to wartime administrative systems will be conducted at the department level. Furthermore, to strengthen the Korea-US alliance and enable mutual cross-verification and supplementation between practical military situations and national emergency preparedness plans, the Korea-US combined exercise and government exercise will be linked and conducted.

The Ministry of the Interior and Safety explained, "This Eulji Exercise is the first nationwide government exercise conducted since the spread of COVID-19, and it is expected to be a turning point to comprehensively check the national crisis management capabilities against actual security threats that threaten us and to strengthen the emergency preparedness posture capabilities of each institution."
