Overview
- Running March 9–12, the exercise concluded with Apache precision fires that simulated an overwater attack and the seizure of an island.
- About 2,700 soldiers from the 2nd Combat Aviation Brigade executed simultaneous attack, air assault, reconnaissance and MEDEVAC missions that stressed command-and-control.
- AH-64 Apache, UH-60 Black Hawk and CH-47 Chinook crews operated across the peninsula after more than 20 months of progressive training to extend aviation reach.
- Seven Forward Arming and Refueling Points enabled continuous operations from austere locations, with one site configured with eight points and sustainment teams reporting no delays.
- Small unmanned aircraft systems provided reconnaissance, targeting and long-range maritime interdiction support, feeding Apache precision fires as the Army underscored U.S.–ROK readiness.
