The Korean Marines participated in the annual Super Garuda Shield multinational joint drills, led by the United States and Indonesia, to enhance interoperability, according to the Marine Corps. Spanning two weeks from August 31 to Friday, the exercise took place in Lampung and Bandung, Indonesia, and involved troops from 15 nations, including Korea, Canada, and Japan.
It was the second time Korean troops joined the drills, following their inaugural participation last year. During the drills, the Korean Marines engaged in a variety of joint exercises, such as field training exercises (FTX) focusing on jungle warfare missions and cyber drills to familiarize troops with cyber attack and defense capabilities.
Initiated in 2007 as a bilateral exercise between the U.S. and Indonesia to improve operational capabilities in jungle warfare, the Super Garuda Shield exercise has since grown into a large-scale multinational event.
