    VIGILANT STORM 23

    VIGILANT STORM 23    

    VIGILANT STORM is a regularly scheduled event that allows for combined and joint training at the operational and tactical levels. It is not in response to any recent world events, but is the culmination of many months of planning. Combat readiness is perishable, and the training value of Vigilant Storm is one of the highlights of the year, as the Republic of Korea and United States armed forces put their skills together and learn to operate as a combined and joint team.
