SATTAHIP, Thailand—Troops from South Korea joined their Thai and US counterparts last Saturday in an amphibious vehicle landing drill as part of Southeast Asia’s largest multinational military exercise.
The 300 soldiers from South Korea who joined 2,000 US Marines and Thai soldiers in eastern Thailand marked the highest numbers participating from the East Asian country since it joined the Cobra Gold exercise in 2010, and comes at a time when tensions are particularly high on the Korean Peninsula. Tensions in the Koreas primarily involve concerns over North Korea’s nuclear capability, which has led to saber-rattling declarations in Washington and Pyongyang.
“Our friends in the Republic of Korea, South Koreans, we stand by them. We work with them,” said Gen. Robert Neller, commandant of the US Marine Corps. “We are allies. We continue to coordinate and keep pressure on. Hopefully, through diplomatic means, we would be able to come to some successful resolution of the problem.”
Some 11,075 service members from 29 countries are taking part in this year’s exercise, with Thailand, the US, Singapore, Japan, South Korea, Indonesia and Malaysia being the seven main participants. There are 6,800 US troops attending the exercise.
