This mission validated the U.S. and ROK combined capability of establishing a landing zone on a highway, landing an MC-130J in the established zone, finding and recovering injured personnel, and safely transporting those personnel to medical facilities to receive the care they need. FS25 serves as a regular exercise between the ROK and the U.S., ensuring constant preparedness for military forces. (U.S. Air Force photo by 1st Lt. Cullen Drenkhahn)
