The exercises represent a renewal of drills after the U.S. and South Korea held smaller events in the years since 2018.

The joint exercises come as both North Korea and China have grown increasingly aggressive, with North Korean dictator Kim Jong-Un firing missiles and China holding military drills around Taiwan.
