[2003 Story] 한치의 오차도 없는 12,000병력! 끊임없이 훈련에 훈련... 그 과정은 어떨까? | KBS 20030930 방송

※ This video was produced in 2003 and may differ from the current situation. ▶ Armed Forces Day is the largest event since the founding of the armed forces. This large-scale event, held in the first year of the new administration, is even more significant as a massive military operation to showcase the might of the ROK Armed Forces, especially at a time when the sense of crisis on the Korean Peninsula surrounding the North Korean nuclear issue is heightened. It is not just a simple event, but a grand military operation designed to showcase the might of the ROK Armed Forces. Beginning with a celebratory flight by the Air Force's air show team, the Black Eagles, the event will include a high-altitude parachute jump from 30,000 feet, a tactical parachute jump using countless colorful parachutes, and a parade through the streets of Gwanghwamun Square, featuring all forces from the Army, Navy, and Air Force. To ensure seamless leadership of this entire event, a combined arms command was established, and 12,000 soldiers were selected from across the country. Among those participating is Park Sung-jin, a permanent resident of the Philippines who voluntarily enlisted in Korea and volunteered for the event. They are currently undergoing training camp, pitching 134 tents on a hillside at the Seongnam training ground. The soldiers have spent two months training relentlessly under the scorching sun. However, all those participating in the event head to the Seongnam training grounds today, filled with pride in the military and determined to ensure the event's success. ▶ No room for error!! Every soldier in each unit spends their days undergoing rigorous evaluations and rigorous training. Rising at 5 a.m., training begins at 7 a.m. and continues late into the night. A round trip to the airfield is a 3km journey. For their division training, they walk an average of 40 to 50km a day. Furthermore, they must precisely coordinate their positions, arm heights and angles, and even the angle of their uniforms. This training leaves no room for even a single mistake. It's the most rigorous training, truly mastered. It's unacceptable for any single individual to excel. Training continues until everyone feels united. The special forces, in the midst of a taekwondo demonstration, are no different. The 145th reserve class is working hard, sweating profusely even late into the night, practicing taekwondo to ensure they make it to the main line. A member of the main line rushes toward them. He's been kicked out for his poor form. While his pride is certainly hurt, he unhesitatingly joins the reserve class in training, determined to rejoin the main line. Taekwondo requires demonstrations ranging from simple movements to highly advanced combat techniques, so safety is paramount. While there's a risk of injury, a physical therapy team is organized to treat those injured, but the constant tension is unpredictable. Yet, no one gives up. In fact, they grit their teeth even harder to avoid falling behind. With the event just ten days away, their nerves and anxiety are at an all-time high, and the training instructors' minds are constantly straining to keep their men in good posture. ▶ If it can't be done, make it happen! To ensure the success of the event, they train relentlessly, relentlessly. The cooks wake up at 3 a.m. to prepare meals. These soldiers are specially selected from each unit to prepare meals for approximately 2,000 people a day. Perhaps for this reason, they boast a unique know-how, capable of cracking 2,000 eggs in just 15 minutes. They only manage to sleep for two hours a day, sparring between meals to prepare three meals a day, but no one complains. Meanwhile, the female cadets at the Nursing Academy, who were once so insecure among their male counterparts, are gradually regaining their confidence through training. They strive to demonstrate their abilities, even on rainy days, through their own barracks training to make up for their shortcomings. Furthermore, the members of the 8th Division's Reconnaissance Battalion, who had repeatedly been reprimanded for unsatisfactory evaluations, have risen to the top of the division by the end of their training, thanks to two months of arduous effort. The high-altitude parachute team, faced with repeated training cancellations due to inclement weather, had a difficult time. Fortunately, the rain has stopped and training resumed. However, due to inadequate training, large-scale parachuting isn't as easy as they'd hoped, so they're diligently working on the final stages of training. The long, grueling training sometimes makes them want to give up, but they're still giving it their all, striving for the day they achieve their goal of building public trust and empathy for the military. ※ This video is from [Field Report 3rd Zone - Loyalty to the Fatherland], which aired on September 30, 2003. #Army #Navy #Air Force This is the official KBS Documentary channel.
