S. Korea, U.S. to hold joint military exercises from Aug. 11th to 20th

韓美 내일부터 열흘간 '후반기 한미연합지휘소훈련' 실시br br The South Korea-U.S. joint military exercises named "Combined Command Post Training" will take place for ten days starting Sunday.br Seoul's Joint Chiefs of Staff said today that the exercises will be computer-based simulations to verify South Korea's initial capacity to prepare for the transfer of wartime operational control from Washington to Seoul.br For the first time, a South Korean general will serve as the commander, and an American general, the vice commander.br The name of the exercises was originally thought to be "nineteen-dash-two DongMaeng" -- a Korean word meaning 'alliance' -- but the name was changed considering the North's continued criticisms of the joint exercises and the impact they may have on denuclearization talks.
