Staff Sgt. Colton Meek and Spc. Clayton Sasamoto, bridge crewmembers with the 814th Multi-Role Bridge Company, 11th Engineer Battalion, 2nd Infantry Division, pull security before crossing a river during Freedom Shield near Yeoncheon, South Korea on March 13, 2026. Bridging across complex terrain demonstrates interoperability between U.S. and ROK forces as soldiers boat across to secure the far bank, enabling engineers to establish a bridge. Freedom Shield is an annual combined exercise conducted in support of the ROK-U.S. Mutual Defense Treaty signed in 1953. This combined exercise highlights the ironclad commitment between the two nations to maintain a robust combined defense posture and to defend the people of the ROK and the United States from any threat or adversary.
