Equipment including 45 vehicles such as helicopters, armored vehicles, fire trucks, and decontamination vehicles will also be deployed.

Additionally, a promotional booth will be set up on the lawn plaza of the old government building to exhibit anti-terrorism equipment such as RoboCam and CBRN decontamination equipment for residents, along with safety experiences including the use of emergency escape devices, cardiopulmonary resuscitation (CPR), fire extinguisher use, and earthquake simulation.

Lee Jin-chan, Director of the Province's Safety Management Office, stated, "This joint training is the first actual exercise in three years," adding, "We will identify issues revealed during the training process to improve the response system and maintain close anti-terrorism cooperation among related agencies."
