According to the Army on the day, this exercise, hosted by the Army Capital Defense Command and the Capital Corps, aims to enhance the Army's aviation forces' ability to respond to enemy drone infiltration and to practice procedures for recovering debris in case an enemy drone crashes. For this purpose, a virtual North Korean small drone will be operated during the exercise, and a helicopter will be flown to respond, conducting live maneuver training that may cause noise.

The Army stated, "We anticipate inconvenience to citizens due to the exercise and the possibility of false reports," and asked for "the understanding and cooperation of the public."
