US, South Korea conduct joint training
- 11 years ago
About four hundred South Korean and U.S. marines participated in a joint military drill in the ski resort town of Pyeongchang, about 180 km (113 miles) east of Seoul.
The training, which took place on February 7, included armed marines skiing down a snow-covered slope while aiming guns at hypothetical enemies and simulating war in the snow.
The marines then stripped off their shirts and flung snow at each other.
This year's exercise was held amid high tensions in the region due to a possible third North Korean nuclear test.
