Jeju Special Self-Governing Province will conduct the "2026 Chungmu Drill" for five days, from April 6 to April 10. This field-oriented drill focuses on mobilizing key resources and restoring national infrastructure, with participation from over 1,000 individuals representing 40 related agencies and organizations.

The Chungmu Drill is based on the Chungmu Plan, a wartime emergency preparedness strategy. It aims to advance and supplement the Chungmu Plan by conducting realistic, site-based exercises and to establish a comprehensive emergency preparedness posture for both wartime and peacetime situations.

Through this drill, Jeju Province intends to enhance its ability to proactively respond to complex crises such as global conflicts and energy emergencies. The province will also intensively assess its crisis response capabilities for various situations that may arise not only during wartime but also in peacetime.

On the first day, April 6, the drill will begin with a review of plans and a situation response exercise. On April 7, there will be a resource mobilization drill involving technical personnel, vehicles, and construction machinery. On April 8, a public office restoration drill will be held at the Seogwipo City Second Government Complex, while on April 9, a restoration drill is scheduled at the Jeju City LNG headquarters.

The training focuses on practical mobilization and response to resources, simulating both wartime and complex disaster scenarios.

At the initial situation briefing for the Chungmu Drill held in the Chungmu Situation Room in the basement of the provincial office on the afternoon of April 6, Acting Governor Park Cheon-soo of Jeju Province urged public officials and related agency personnel to participate in the drill with a sense of tension as if it were a real-life situation.

Acting Governor Park stated, "Since Jeju is an island, we must develop measures to overcome crises independently by collaborating with related agencies during national emergencies. The Chungmu Drill will serve as a valuable opportunity to assess the joint readiness posture of the public, private, police, and fire sectors in Jeju."

He added, "We will continue to strengthen our response system to ensure the safety and protection of both residents and tourists under any crisis situation."

Through this Chungmu Drill, Jeju Province plans to establish a preparedness posture for both wartime and peacetime that is tailored to Jeju's unique circumstances, thereby safeguarding the safety of its residents.
