'Environmental Cleanup Volunteer Service' Conducted Near Military Base

The Air Force 1st Fighter Wing announced on the 3rd that it conducted an 'Environmental Cleanup Volunteer Service' to coexist with local residents.

On this day, more than 60 soldiers participated in the volunteer service, collecting discarded trash along roads and villages in the Gwangsan-gu area (Hasan-dong, Yugye-dong, Bundeok-dong, etc.).

They also carried out weeding and tree removal activities to ensure the safety and convenience of residents by clearing grass and trees that obstructed the passage of residents in Bunto Village (Bundeok-dong, Gwangsan-gu).

Colonel Jeon Daeman, Chief of the Inspection and Safety Office, said, "Since we operate aircraft to perform airspace defense missions, we planned this activity to express our gratitude to the local residents who support the Air Force despite the difficulties caused by noise." He added, "We will continue to promote various activities that can coexist with the local community."

Meanwhile, the 1st Fighter Wing also conducted environmental cleanup activities at Dongho Beach in March and has been carrying out various activities to coexist with local residents, such as visiting nearby community child centers to provide snacks.

Additionally, they actively engage in public support activities such as visiting senior centers and volunteering at veterans' nursing homes, fulfilling their duty as the people's military.
