From August 19 to 29, the United States and South Korea will hold joint military exercises to counter North Korea's nuclear and missile threats.

The "Ulchi Freedom Shield" joint military exercise is a routine exercise between the U.S. and South Korean militaries. It is conducted almost every year, even during the epidemic, but on a smaller scale.

The name of the exercise has not changed, but the subjects of the exercise are updated every year. The background of the exercise is a provocative attack launched by North Korea.

The scale of the joint military exercise "Ulchi Freedom Shield" conducted last year was the largest. In terms of participating countries, there are Australia, Canada, France, Britain, Greece, Italy, New Zealand, the Philippines and other countries. These countries participated in the Korean War in the name of "United Nations Army"; in terms of participating weapons, the US military dispatched strategic assets such as nuclear aircraft carriers, nuclear submarines, B-B1, B-52H bombers, etc.

This year's exercises include computer simulations of threats such as North Korean missiles, GPS jamming and cyber attacks, as well as simultaneous field and live-fire drills.
