U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to 2d Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division and ROK army soldiers assigned to 7th Engineer Brigade and 16th Mechanized Brigade, conduct a wet gap crossing during Freedom Shield 26 near Yeoncheon, South Korea Mar. 14, 2026. Bridging across complex terrain demonstrates the interoperability between U.S. and ROK forces, showcasing the combined force’s ability to operate as one team to overcome battlefield obstacles and reinforce the strength of the ROK–U.S. Alliance.
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.
