South Korea, U.S. Sign MoU To Enhance Military Training Cooperation

The South Korea Military Academy and U.S. Combined Forces Division have on Friday signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) to expand military training cooperation for the enhancement of the alliance between the two countries.

A spokesman for the South Korea Military Academy said in Uijeongbu (South Korea), that under the MoU, the combined division would assist South Korean military cadets to participate in the “Sandhurst” competition to be held in the U.S. Military Academy at West Point.


The annual competition for boosting combat skills was being attended by many other military cadets from across the world.

According to the spokesman, the combined forces would select American soldiers who have experience with the competition to transfer their military tactics and command and control system knowledge to the participating Korean military cadets.

He said the military academy would offer opportunities for American soldiers to learn more about Korean culture and history.
