CAMP HOVEY, South Korea –
Republic of Korea Army leaders from the 16th
Mechanized Infantry Brigade, 8th Infantry Division, met with 1st Armored Brigade
Combat Team, 2nd Infantry Division, staff in order to communicate tactics and
techniques regarding weapon of mass destruction removal operations, May 3, at
Camp Hovey, South Korea.
Before 1st ABCT gets replaced by 2nd Brigade
Combat Team, 1st Cavalry Division, 16th Mechanized Infantry Brigade leaders
wanted to discuss strategies about WMD removal operations from their U.S. Army
partners.
"Before 1st ABCT deactivates, we wanted to learn knowledge and
intelligence regarding removal of WMD," said Maj. You Seon-ho, operations
officer from the 16th Mechanized Infantry Brigade. "Until they leave, we would
like to constantly communicate about these topics."
Capt. Tony Martineau,
brigade chemical officer from the 1st ABCT, said it is helpful to build a common
language for the operations. Therefore, when 2nd BCT comes, ROKA will be able to
conduct joint trainings just like how they did with the 1st ABCT.
