US and South Korean navies conduct maritime operations exercise

Operational drills included anti-submarine warfare training, anti-air warfare training, joint maritime interdiction operations, and dynamic formation sailing.

Captain Dave Huljack, commodore of Destroyer Squadron 15, stated, “MCSOFEX is just a part of our continuous exercises with our ROK counterparts. Through exercises like MCSOFEX, Freedom Edge, Ulchi Freedom Shield, and numerous others, we continue to enhance our shared interoperability between the US and ROK navies and our allies and partners to ensure a free and open Indo-Pacific.”
