US forces in Korea to hold drill for evacuation of noncombatants in June
Seoul - Arab Today
The US Forces Korea plans to hold an exercise for the evacuation of noncombatant US citizens from South Korea in June, Yonhap quoted military sources as saying Sunday.
The regular Courageous Channel practices operations for a safe exit of the 230,000 Americans in case of a conflict. The drill is led by the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command in Daegu, 302 kilometers southeast of Seoul.
Tensions have mounted over North Korea's threat of nuclear and missile tests, and the U.S. dispatch of powerful military assets to South Korea.
The last Courageous Channel was held from Oct. 31-Nov. 3, 2016, following the North's fifth nuclear test in September.
The drill was by far the most realistic, with participants flown outside of the peninsula for the first time since 2009, according to the command.

The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews. Now some of his most iconic dresses are going on display in the glass-roofed gallery next to his studio and home in the Marais district where he used to show his creations.
