US and South Korea hold joint air exercise... ”Perform missions in preparation for any eventuality on the Korean Peninsula”

The United States and South Korea have conducted joint aerial drills amid heightened military tensions between the two Koreas due to North Korea's never-ending scattering of "filthy balloons" against South Korea and the South Korean military's full-scale implementation of "loudspeaker broadcasts" against the North.
In particular, for this training, F/A-18 Hornets and stealth fighter F-35Bs belonging to the 12th Air Wing of the 1st Marine Division, stationed at the US military base in Iwakuni, will be deployed to the Korean Peninsula again.
The US and South Korean soldiers who participated in the drills emphasized that "this training will raise the US-South Korea alliance's combined operational capabilities to the next level."
"The U.S.-Korea alliance has a deep history, and we are one of the most solid alliances in the region," said Captain Jarrod Allen of the 224th Squadron, 1st Marine Aviation Division, on the 25th.
"We will improve our combat capabilities through the training that will take place over the next three weeks," he said. "The U.S. Marine Corps will carry out missions together with the ROK Air Force and learn from each other and improve our skills."
"At the same time, I expect them to prepare for any eventuality on the Korean Peninsula and carry out their assigned tasks effectively and efficiently," he said.
