S. Korea, U.S. Hold Combined Air Resupply Exercise for Wartime Readiness

On November 10, 2026, South Korea and the United States carried out a combined aerial resupply exercise aimed at improving their wartime logistics capabilities. This joint drill, led by the South Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command (CFC), focused on maintaining rapid aerial supply routes when ground logistics may be compromised during conflicts.

The exercise involved various military units, including the Army Special Warfare Command and the Air Force Air Mobility and Reconnaissance Command from South Korea, along with the South Korea-U.S. Combined Division. Participants practiced air-drop operations for both heavy and light supplies, demonstrating their ability to operate under diverse conditions and altitudes exceeding 3,000 meters.

CFC officials noted that the drills enhanced the survivability of transport aircraft and improved the retrieval rates of air-dropped supplies by ground units. Looking ahead, the allies plan to incorporate transport drones and other advanced assets into future exercises to adapt to evolving warfare scenarios.
