NMCB 5 and Republic of Korea's (ROK) 11-75th Bridge Seoul Construction Company took part in a bridge-building demonstration that showed the versatility of both the medium-girder bridge and U.S./ROK teamwork. Both countries are taking part in Exercise Key Resolve/Foal Eagle 2008, an annual combined/joint exercise involving forces from both the U.S. and Republic of Korea (ROK). This exercise provides training to further enhance interoperability and combat readiness, while also demonstrating both countries' commitment to the ROK/US alliance.
