The United States and South Korea will conduct more than ten days of large-scale military drills in March, including amphibious landings, officials from the two countries said
Freedom Shield will feature field exercises on a scale not seen since about 2017, before former U.S. President Donald Trump scaled back public drills to facilitate diplomacy with North Korea.
Talks with Pyongyang are long stalled, but in intervening years COVID-19 restrictions kept drills to a limited size. With a record number of missile launches from North Korea last year, and South Korea's lifting of anti-pandemic measures, the allies are returning to large-scale drills as a warning to Pyongyang.
Over the past month South Korean and U.S. special operations troops conducted a live-fire drill named "Teak Knife", which included a U.S. AC-130J gunship that participated in joint drills for the first time, firing guided missiles and bombs as well as 30mm and 105mm guns.
