US Forces Korea Press Release
Release Date: April 1, 2003
SEOUL, Republic of Korea (USFK) April 1, 2003 - In agreement with the ROK Government, U.S. Pacific Command and U.S. Forces Korea selected a limited number of forces, including personnel and equipment, to remain in the Republic of Korea after the conclusion of RSOI/FE 03. The primary purpose of this decision is to extend familiarization training.
Extending their training time in the Korean Theater of Operations (KTO) affords an excellent opportunity to further enhance interoperability while also enhancing deterrence. This limited number of forces includes personnel and aircraft from F-117 and F-15E units, and a small Army Task Force.
More than 85 percent of the forces that deployed to the peninsula to participate in RSOI/FE will depart by April 4. The departure date of the units remaining in the KTO to continue training has not yet been determined.
