Seoul, Jan 6 (SocialNews.XYZ) South Korea and the United States conducted their wintertime combined exercise last month amid concerns over the new coronavirus pandemic, a military source said on Wednesday.
The allies held a scaled-back version of their original wintertime drills, codenamed Vigilant Ace, from December 7-11, involving fighters, such as F-15K and KF-16 jets from South Korea and F-16s from the US, according to the source, Yonhap news agency reported.
The annual Vigilant Ace exercise was replaced with a smaller training starting in 2018 to support diplomatic efforts to denuclearize North Korea.
"It was a regular training to check the allies' capability to carry out combined operations," an Air Force officer said.
