Combined Forces Command Announces Start of Key Resolve 2015

25 February 2015

From Release # 02-24-15/1

The Republic of Korea-United States Combined Forces Command announced the annual Key Resolve exercise will take place March 2 to 13, 2015.

Key Resolve is an annual command post exercise that ensures the ROK-U.S. Alliance is prepared to defend the ROK, while training Alliance forces to respond to any potential event on the peninsula. 

"This is a critical exercise to train alongside our ROK and United Nations Sending State partners. It is important to maintain our high level of proficiency on key tasks while exercising different scenarios," said Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, UNC/CFC/USFK commander. "Exercising our multi-national force is an important component of readiness and is fundamental to sustaining and strengthening the Alliance."

Five United Nations Sending States are scheduled to participate in KR15. They include Australia, Canada, Denmark, France, and Great Britain. Additionally, the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission will observe and monitor the exercise, fulfilling duties prescribed by the Armistice Agreement. 

The United Nations Command has informed the Korean People's Army in North Korea through their Panmunjom mission about Key Resolve dates and the non-provocative nature of this training
