South Korea Military Readiness

South Korean marines stand in attention during their regular drill on Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea Thursday, Nov. 1, 2018. The U.S. and South Korea are reviewing whether they will conduct large-scale military exercises next year and will decide before December. South Korean Defense Minister Jeong Kyeong-doo told reporters Wednesday at the Pentagon that if more exercises are suspended the two countries will conduct other training to mitigate the lapse. He says the review will be done by Nov. 15. (Jeon Heon-kyun/Pool Photo via AP)
