A service member from the Republic of Korea monitors a group of U.S. Air Force Airmen as they load onto a ROKAF C-130 during Ulchi Freedom Shield 25 exercise at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Aug. 25, 2025. The Ulchi Freedom Shield exercise is designed to strengthen the U.S.-ROK alliance, enhance our combined defense posture, and improve joint defense readiness while promoting security and stability on the Korean Peninsula.
U.S. and Republic of Korea service members transitioned to an alternate location utilizing ROK Air Force C-130 aircraft, testing the combined force’s ability to maneuver personnel and equipment quickly. The shift reinforced both nations’ ability to project and sustain combat power from different locations across the region, validating airlift coordination between the U.S. and ROK air forces.
