This training is designed to simulate wartime scenarios, focusing on assessing integrated combat command capabilities from brigade to battalion level and strengthening operational execution skills. In particular, support and attached units from various branches—such as artillery, engineers, air defense, and CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear)—along with armored maneuver units, will work together to enhance their combined arms operations capabilities.

The entire personnel of two brigade-level units will participate in the exercise, and during the training period, a large movement of tracked vehicles such as armored vehicles, tanks, and self-propelled artillery, as well as general vehicles, will take place on roads throughout Icheon-si, Yeoju-si, Yangpyeong-gun, and Hongcheon-gun.

Accordingly, traffic control and reduced vehicle speeds are expected on certain road sections, including National Routes 3, 37, 42, and 44, and Provincial Routes 88, 333, 342, and 345. The unit will minimize inconvenience for local residents by inspecting the movement routes in advance at the site, and deploying safety control officers and military police in areas where traffic congestion is anticipated to prevent accidents.

Additionally, during the large-scale movement of tracked and general vehicles, three road cleaning vehicles will be immediately deployed to wash road surfaces and remove soil, with the aim of ensuring traffic safety and preventing inconvenience to local residents.

The unit stated, "We will make every effort to minimize inconveniences such as traffic congestion and noise generated by the movement of personnel and equipment during the training period," and requested, "As this exercise is conducted to protect the lives and property of the public and to guarantee safety, we ask for the understanding and cooperation of local residents."
