The Republic of Korea and U.S. conduct a combined aerial exercise in conjunction with the deployment of U.S. B-1B strategic bombers over the Republic of Korea, March 19, 2023. Combined flight operations provide the U.S. and its allies the opportunity to improve interoperability and demonstrate a combined defense capability. The U.S. remains committed to peace and prosperity through the region to secure a free and open Indo-Pacific. Our commitment to the defense of the Republic of Korea remains ironclad.
