ROK, U.S. conduct joint gunnery RODRIGUEZ RANGE, South Korea, March 6 (UPI) -- For the first time since the Korean War, U.S. Army and Republic of Korea troops conducted joint gunnery exercises. U.S. soldiers from 2nd Battalion, 9th Infantry Regiment, conducted a joint-gunnery live-fire with the South Korean's 23rd Tank Battalion, 25th Infantry Division on Feb. 15 at Rodriguez Range, South Korea, Army News Service reported on Tuesday. The soldiers practiced firing U.S. M1A1 Abrams and Korea's M48 tanks simultaneously at pop-up targets from varying distances. They also trained in firing .50-caliber and M240B machine guns mounted on tanks. There is a constant need for this type of joint training on the Korean peninsula, said Maj. Shane Gries, 2nd Bn., 9th Inf. Regt., operations officer. "I think it's very important to do these events as often as we possibly can," Gries said. "During the Korean War, the 9th Regiment fought and bled on the same hills as our ROK allies. These combined exercises re-strengthen and reaffirm our bond as allies and bring together the coalition." +++ ------------------------ Yahoo!
