(S Korea) Combined Forces Command announces start of joint drills
http://koreajoongangdaily.joins.com/news/article/article.aspx?aid=2984762Combined Forces Command announces start of joint drills
The South Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command yesterday announced its plans for the annual joint military drills, which begin on Feb. 24 between the allies, despite fierce protests from Pyongyang.
But concerns are growing in South Korea that the North could cancel the upcoming reunions for families separated during the 1950-53 Korean War, scheduled to take place between Feb. 20 and 25 at Mount Kumgang resort, during the military exercises.
U.S. Forces Korea released a statement on behalf of the command yesterday on its website announcing the two upcoming drills, known as Key Resolve and Foal Eagle.
Key Resolve is scheduled from Feb. 24 to March 6, it said, while Foal Eagle will last from Feb. 24 to April 18.
