Gwonseon-gu Military Camp Experience and Security Tour

On the 16th, Gwonseon-gu District in Suwon conducted military camp experience training at the Army's 51st Division 4th Battalion and tours of the Navy's 2nd Fleet headquarters and the Cheonan naval vessel, with participation from 45 senior civil servants and organization members under the district.

The military camp experience included watching security videos, touring internal facilities, and survival training to build both physical and mental strength. Participants then moved to the Navy's 2nd Fleet headquarters in Pyeongtaek to tour the Cheonan and the security park.

The Navy's 2nd Fleet headquarters is responsible for patrolling and defending the West Sea maritime area. The Cheonan, which was hit by a torpedo and sunk while on patrol duty near Baengnyeong Island in the West Sea in March 2010, has been salvaged and is on display at the headquarters.

Kim Jeong-su, head of Gwonseon-gu District, said, "I hope this military camp experience and security tour will serve as an opportunity for civil servants and residents to reestablish a firm national identity and security consciousness."
