Ulchi Freedom Shield 2025: US-South Korea Joint Military Drills

Post by : Bianca Suleiman

South Korea and the United States are set to launch their major annual joint military exercise, Ulchi Freedom Shield 2025, from August 18 to 28. This large-scale 11-day drill involves around 18,000 South Korean troops alongside U.S. forces and partner nations, focusing on combined readiness against North Korean nuclear and missile threats. The exercise features both computer-simulated command post training and live-field operations, emphasizing wartime scenarios, cyber defense, and modern warfare challenges like drones, GPS jamming, and cyberattacks. Despite Pyongyang’s condemnation of these drills as provocative, Seoul and Washington stress their vital role in deterring nuclear threats and maintaining regional stability. Some field training activities have been postponed to September due to extreme heat, but the overall scope remains robust.
