Republic of Korea service members line up and board a Republic of Korea Air Force C-130 during the Ulchi Freedom Shield 25 exercise at Osan Air Base, Republic of Korea, Aug. 25, 2025. By focusing on defense and de-escalation, UFS 25 demonstrates the alliance’s commitment to deterrence, cooperation, and lasting regional security. U.S. and Republic of Korea service members transitioned to an alternate location utilizing ROK Air Force C-130 aircraft, testing the combined force’s ability to maneuver personnel and equipment quickly. The shift reinforced both nations’ ability to project and sustain combat power from different locations across the region, validating airlift coordination between the U.S. and ROK air forces.
