It was reported that the training would end by forcibly suppressing certain areas that did not reach the Kaesong axis without advancing to Pyongyang,” the report said.
‘Newsis’ said, “In the first part, we practice changing the wartime system, repulsing the North Korean attack, and defending the metropolitan area. In the second part, counter-attack and counter-attack operations are carried out to secure the safety of the metropolitan area,' he reported.

SBS said, "The Ministry of National Defense is planning to normalize the ROK-U.S. joint exercise to strengthen the combined defense posture and improve the operational capability in preparation for North Korea's local provocation and all-out war." , and the possibility that it may lead to actual military action is raised.” KBS reported that “This UFS will switch to a wartime system and conduct a counterattack and counterattack operation to secure the safety of the metropolitan area, as well as the first part to practice repelling North Korean attacks and defending the metropolitan area. It will be divided into two parts for mastery.”
'News 1' said, "In the first part, assuming that the 'crisis' created by North Korea's provocations during the 'crisis management practice' expands to an all-out war, The training will be conducted with the content of repulsing the attack by the Koreans and defending the metropolitan area.
JTBC reported, “This exercise will be converted into a wartime system to practice repelling North Korean attacks and defending the metropolitan area, as well as training counterattacks and counterattacks to secure safety in the metropolitan area.”
Former USFK commander Robert Abrams said in a statement, "By conducting these theater-level drills twice a year, we send a strong message to the DPRK that the alliance is strong and can defeat any North Korean attack." It is a complex task to bring together the international contributions of the UN-sending countries and the allies within an exhaustive scenario for our critical defensive tasks in support of defending the ROK,” he told Voice of America (VOA). .
The ROK-U.S. joint military exercises were held in the Ulchi Focus Lens (UFL) from 1976 to 2007, the Ulchi Freedom Guardian (UFG) from 2008 to 2018, and the Joint Command Post Training (CCPT) from 2019 to 2021. It will be held until the 1st of next month as an integrated Ulchi Freedom Shield training.
