Army 52nd Division Conducts Outdoor Maneuver Training During Joint Exercises

The Republic of Korea Army's 52nd Infantry Division conducted a joint counter-terrorism drill at a national critical facility in Yeouido, Seoul. This outdoor maneuver training is part of the ROK-US combined exercise "Freedom Shield" (FS) and was designed to practice procedures for responding to complex terrorist attacks that could occur at national critical facilities. The training involved the Army's 1st Air Defense Brigade, 1st Security Group, Special Warfare Command's Baekho Unit, Yeongdeungpo Police Station, and fire department.

The drill simulated a scenario where a terrorist suspect infiltrated the "underground utility tunnel," which consolidates and manages power, communication, water, and gas pipelines supplying the urban area. Additionally, the training included neutralizing an unidentified drone detected in the city and suppressing terrorists who had infiltrated a broadcasting station to rescue civilians.
