U.S. service members prepare for takeoff inside 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. UFS 25 highlights the importance of constant readiness, ensuring Republic of Korea and U.S. service members remain prepared to defend peace and stability on the Korean Peninsula. 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.
