Army and Air Force units in North Gyeongsang Province, South Korea, have enhanced their capabilities to respond to potential threats and infiltrations while improving teamwork through joint anti-terror training.
On Wednesday, the Air Force’s 16th Fighter Wing conducted a joint anti-terror training exercise with the Army’s 50th Infantry Division Strike Brigade at the base’s tactical training area. Approximately 20 anti-terror personnel from both units participated in the exercise.
This training was organized to practice joint operational procedures in preparation for potential terrorist scenarios, allowing for exchanging tactics such as rappelling and combat techniques. Together, the 16th Fighter Wing and Strike Brigade will carry out integrated defense missions in the event of a terrorist incident in the Yecheon area of North Gyeongsang Province.
The training began with a rappel infiltration by soldiers from the 16th Fighter Wing’s Special Mission Platoon. In a scenario where terrorists had taken control of a facility, the soldiers engaged in high-intensity rappelling drills, both individually and as teams. Army and Air Force personnel then practiced interior clearing, forcible entry, and close-quarters combat, gaining valuable practical combat experience.
Captain Seo Dong In, commander of the 16th Fighter Wing’s Mobility Company, stated, “The joint training with the Army has significantly enhanced the skills of our anti-terror personnel. We are committed to maintaining a strong readiness posture against potential threats.”
