U.S. Army Soldiers assigned to the 2d Infantry Division/ROK-U.S. Combined Division, and ROK Army soldiers assigned to the ROK 7th Engineer Brigade and 16th Mechanized Brigade, conduct wet gap crossing exercise as part of Freedom Shield near Yuncheon, 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.
