| 2011-03-01 |
| The USS Ronald Reagan and Aegis destroyers and cruisers of the Seventh U.S. Fleet are participating in annual joint South Korea-U.S. military exercises. The exercises, dubbed "Key Resolve and Foal Eagle," began Monday and continue until April 30. A government source said once after the "Key Resolve" drills comes to an end on March 10, the Ronald Reagan and Yokosuka-based naval ships of the Seventh Fleet will take part in the “Foal Eagle” exercise, which continues until April 30. The Reagan arrives at the Naval Operations Base in Busan in mid-March. The South Korea-U.S. Combined Forces Command plans to brief the press on Thursday on details of the exercises. A CFC spokesman said about a dozen observers of the Neutral Nations Supervisory Commission will watch the exercises to check if the two exercises are defensive and in accordance with the armistice agreement. |
