US and South Korea Begin Foal Eagle Military Exercise
|The long awaited joint military exercise has finally begun:
A combined field training of South Korean and U.S. troops got under way Sunday as scheduled, defense officials said amid a nascent peace mood on the divided peninsula.
More than 11,500 service members, including thousands based outside of Korea, plan to participate in the four-week Foal Eagle training, along with around 300,000 South Korean soldiers.
The allies often kick off their largest annual military exercise in late February or early March for a two-month run. This year, however, they waited until the end of the PyeongChang Winter Olympic and Paralympic Games here.
The duration of Foal Eagle has been shortened to a month, with no major U.S. strategic assets such as supercarriers and nuclear subs expected to show up. [Yonhap]

So, are those patches for the soft spots in the armor on that vehicle behind the troops?
Good to see PMCS being performed properly.

What troops? All I see is a few blue ribbons floating in the air.
MTB, think lasertag.
They’re using toy guns because of the summit, right?
