[Suwon Ilbo=Park No-hun Reporter] Yongin City announced that it will conduct the "2021 Hwarang Training" from July 5 to 8 together with the Army's 5171st Unit to establish an integrated regional defense posture.
Hwarang Training is a comprehensive rear-area exercise held biennially at the city and provincial level.
The civilian, government, military, police, and fire departments, along with local governments, will focus on establishing an integrated defense posture. To this end, they aim to operate an integrated defense support headquarters, manage post-response measures for chemical and biological weapons (WMD) attacks, protect national key facilities, and achieve integrated response to sudden threats such as COVID-19.
Yongin City Mayor Baek Kun-gi urged, "Since this Hwarang Training is the first to be conducted in six years since 2015, I request that each agency make special efforts to cultivate mission execution capabilities and achieve the desired results."
He also stated, "As this is a large-scale exercise, active participation and cooperation from citizens are essential. I urge citizens to report anyone with suspicious behavior to the military unit or police station immediately during the training period."
