BUSAN, Republic of Korea (NNS) -- The Ronald Reagan Carrier
Strike Group (CSG) is scheduled to conduct a series of exercises with the
Republic of Korea (ROK) Navy Oct. 26-29, to strengthen maritime interoperability,
tactics, techniques and procedures.
The U.S. routinely conducts CSG operations in the waters
around the Republic of Korea to exercise maritime maneuvers, strengthen the
U.S.-ROK alliance and improve regional security.
"The U.S. and the Republic of Korea share one of the
strongest alliances in the world," said Rear Adm. John Alexander,
commander, Battle Force 7th Fleet. "Our navies learn from each other, and
we grow stronger as an alliance because of our routine exercises here in South
Korea, and the close relationship and ties that we forge from operating at-sea
together."
The exercises will consist of a routine bilateral training,
subject matter expert exchanges, anti-submarine and anti-surface warfare
drills, communication drills, air defense exercises, counter-mine planning and
distinguished visitor embarkations.
The U.S. Navy maintains a presence in the Indo-Pacific
region to help preserve peace and security and further our partnerships with
friends and allies. Our forward presence contributes to freedom of navigation
and lawful use of the sea, and also furthers operational training and enables
an exchange of culture, skills and tactical knowledge.
