Summary
Yongsan, Korea -- U.S. Forces Korea participated in the Highly Infectious
Disease Full Scale Exercise, a Korean Center of Disease Control and
Prevention-led exercise, at U.S. Yongsan Army Garrison and ROK Armed Forces
Capital Hospital, Mar. 31, 2015. The exercise provided ROK and US
interagency and military participants training on responding to a simulated
Ebola case. The focus of this exercise is to improve the ROK-US Alliance's
ability to identify, respond and transport a simulated Ebola patient by
employing a whole-of-government approach through bilateral cooperative
engagements. Although the scenario for this exercise is Ebola, the lessons
are applicable for other emerging events with highly infectious agents.
