Korean Reconnaissance Unit Participates in National Training Center Rotation
This is really something more Korean troops should take part in because the NTC is some of the best training I have ever done in the Army:
Dozens of South Korean troops visited a U.S. military training center in California and staged combined training exercises with American service members, officials said Wednesday.
Around 50 Army members, including those from a reconnaissance unit, carried out various joint maneuvers with the U.S. troops at the U.S. Fort Irwin National Training Center (NTC) for about a month from mid-October, according to the officials.
They returned home Tuesday and have been quarantined for the new coronavirus, they added.
Initially, the Army was scheduled to send troops to the training center earlier this year, but the plan was postponed due to the global COVID-19 pandemic. The NTC had been closed for months to prevent the spread of the new coronavirus.

yeah, spread the CCP virus in middle of the desert….what a crock.
They have to be quarantined so they can be infected to support the narrative.
We don’t need to be training the future Parasite army.
The Japanese Self Defense Force was there in January last year when I was an OC. Pretty interesting seeing them run around the desert in their tanks and motorcycles, definitely kept Blackhorse off balance from the usual predictable foe.
The United States army should be renamed to Coronavirus army.
Thanks Bob! I would have loved to see that!
If one of the South Korean soldiers ends up “on the wrong side of the law” in the US, I wonder how the anti-American contingent in South Korea is going to spin that SOFA’s provisions.
True story time! I was a Lieutenant in a support battalion at NTC. Some of our company mechanics caught a bunch of SAS operators playing OPFOR recon out in the open and lit them up but good! We got some major kudos for that.
Of course they reconstituted and made our lives miserable a couple days later…
Great story Gern. Would have been fun to watch!
