Marine Corps, Joint Island Defense Training Until Today
Conducted in Yeonpyeongdo and Baengnyeongdo Island Areas
The Marine Corps conducted the first half joint island defense training from the 8th to the 10th around Baengnyeongdo and Yeonpyeongdo islands and surrounding waters.
According to the Marine Corps on the 10th, under the leadership of the Northwest Island Defense Command (Seobangsa), joint forces including the Navy and Air Force Operations Command and the Army Special Warfare Command participated, with plans to conduct reinforcement force deployment and landing interdiction training. This training, which was usually held twice a year in the past, had not been conducted since 2017 but was resumed last June after a six-year hiatus.
The Marine Corps expects that through this training, it will be possible to enhance initial response capabilities in emergencies, ensure the survivability of island residents, and improve the integrated response capabilities of joint forces.
