This exercise conducted by more than 140 strength from a fire control company and other units began with loading trucks with as much equipment as 20 one-ton trucks in a sixty-minute limit. Arriving at the training ground, they assembled a guided missile and issued stored materials to refine the basics necessary to deploy a Hawk missile stronghold. They also underwent a surveillance and reconnaissance drill to deploy to a new stronghold.
After deploying to a new position, the trainees conducted an air defense exercise, by countering an assumed enemy aircraft moving toward friendly positions, and a base defense drill to be able to establish operational readiness and receive actual fight training.
“We had our recruits receive a realistic training to implement maximum fighting power,” said Col. Hwang In-woo, superintendent of the Air Defense Artillery School. “We will do our best to foster our recruits as elite air defense artillery combatant soldiers so that they can counter decisively and powerfully any enemy provocations.”
