SEOUL, South Korea — The United States military said on Monday that it would practice evacuating noncombatant Americans out of South Korea in the event of war and other emergencies, as the two allies began a joint naval exercise amid heightened tensions with North Korea.
The exercise, known as Courageous Channel, is scheduled from Oct. 23 to 27.

When civilians and family start leaving it will be obvious. So, practicing for such an evacuation doesn’t tip off anything.
Was stationed in Yongsan in 1985 and remember them having this exercise. This is nothing to get excited about. No different than a lifeboat drill on a cruise ship.
Dongduchon in 82-83. Those were the days.
