During the visit, after a courtesy meeting with the county governor, the delegation observed the actual government training at the Ulchi Exercise site. They then received a briefing on the real-world resident evacuation drill, followed by a visit to the Samgot-ri shelter, where they held discussions on evacuation plans for residents near the Civilian Control Line.


In particular, the Combined Forces Command delegation visited only Yeoncheon County during this Ulchi Exercise period, which once again highlighted the significance of Yeoncheon County as a border region and the attention it receives from the command's leadership.



County Governor Kim Deokhyeon stated, "Through this visit by the Combined Forces Command delegation, we focused on discussing the role of the Combined Forces in protecting and supporting civilians during emergencies, as well as the cooperation system with local governments. We look forward to an early visit by the Commander of the Combined Forces Command to Yeoncheon County."
