USFK Commander Calls for Dispersed Training Events Across the Korean Peninsula
It will be interesting to see if General Brunson can pull this off. There is so much inertia to do things the way they have always been done in Korea to overcome:
The general suggested that the allies consider conducting exercises across a much broader geographical area rather than in fixed locations.
“What would it look like if we train from Jeju all the way up to Gyeonggi Province in the north?” he said. “So just imagine if we trained across the entirety of the peninsula.”
Brunson said the allies should take into consideration lessons from the war in Ukraine, where the widespread use of drones and other modern battlefield technologies has left forces operating from fixed positions vulnerable.
He stressed the importance of distributing forces across different locations to reduce their vulnerability to potential attacks. “We won’t be moored in place.”
Brunson also raised the possibility of conducting more training between the two major annual exercises, rather than focusing preparations primarily on those events.
