[Asia Economy Yeongnam Reporting Headquarters, Reporter Song Jong-gu] On the 25th, the Naval Jinhae Base Command in Gyeongnam conducted an anti-terrorism drill at the Sokcheon Port Passenger Terminal in Jinhae, Changwon City.

This drill, conducted as part of the Eulji Freedom Shield (UFS) joint exercise, was organized to verify anti-terrorism response capabilities and to practice initial on-site response procedures in preparation for terrorist situations at civilian multi-use facilities that could lead to large-scale casualties.

About 60 personnel participated in the drill, including the Rapid Response Company of the Jinhae Base Ground Guard Battalion, the drone surveillance team, the anti-terror initial response team, and the chemical, biological, radiological, and nuclear (CBRN) support unit.

The drill began with a scenario identifying the flight of an unidentified drone near the Sokcheon Port Passenger Terminal. The Jinhae Base immediately dispatched the Rapid Response Company and the anti-terror initial response team and ordered a site search.

During the site search, two suspects operating unidentified drones near the terminal were discovered. The on-site forces continued the drill by controlling access for terminal users and establishing a plan to subdue the suspicious individuals.

Following procedures, the anti-terror initial response team was deployed to quickly subdue the suspects and secure the drones in operation. The CBRN support unit conducted chemical and biological agent detection reconnaissance on the secured unidentified drones, and the detection results confirmed no signs of chemical or biological threats. All prepared training scenarios were successfully completed.

Sergeant Woo Won-young of the anti-terror initial response team said, “Through realistic drills simulating terrorist situations, we were able to verify the on-site response capabilities of anti-terror personnel,” adding, “We will continue to maintain a solid anti-terror posture without any gaps.”
