Rodriguez Range In South Korea Reopens After Live Fire Accident
While the investigation into why an inert TOW missile that hit a Korean civilian shed continues, Rodriguez Range will reopen for training:
Training resumed Saturday at Rodriguez Live Fire Range in South Korea, though restrictions introduced after a missile went astray last month will remain in place for the time being.
A tube-launched, optically tracked, wire-guided (TOW) anti-tank missile fired Dec. 30 by U.S. Marines landed 200 meters outside the range boundary in an abandoned building within Pocheon city limits. An investigation into the incident is ongoing, said Col. David Patterson Jr., 8th Army spokesman.
“We will not fire the munition involved in the … incident on [Rodriguez Range] until the joint investigation is completed,” he said.
The safety of Pocheon residents remains a top concern of the command, Patterson said. [Stars & Stripes]
