This large-scale mechanized unit field training exercise will involve a significant number of personnel and equipment, including tracked vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles, as well as military vehicles and equipment. The exercise will take place on major national and local roads in 13 cities and counties, including Yangju, Pocheon, Dongducheon, Namyangju, Yangpyeong, Gapyeong, Yeoju, and Icheon in Gyeonggi Province; Hongcheon, Hoengseong, and Wonju in Gangwon Province; and Chungju and Eumseong in North Chungcheong Province.

The unit stated that, prior to the exercise, tracked vehicles such as tanks and armored vehicles, along with military vehicles and equipment, will be pre-deployed to the training areas in Gyeonggi, Gangwon, and North Chungcheong on two occasions: from September 29 to 30 and from October 10 to 14.

The 7th Mobile Corps emphasized that, during this large-scale mechanized unit field training exercise, a large number of military personnel, vehicles, tanks, and armored vehicles will be moving throughout the training areas, which may cause traffic congestion, noise, and dust. The Corps requested residents' understanding and active cooperation for the exercise, asking them to avoid approaching or overtaking military equipment and to use detour routes for safety.

Additionally, to minimize inconvenience to residents during the training period, the Corps will operate an on-site control headquarters composed of safety control teams and civilian damage control teams, as well as a resident inconvenience reporting center. Joint military and police traffic control posts will also be set up on major roads.
