Korean peacekeeping troops in Lebanon and South Sudan continue to serve for global peace through activities ranging from combined training to taekwondo lessons for civilians as the U.N. Command (UNC) marks its 75th anniversary of establishment this year.
The presence of the Korean peacekeeping units has come into the spotlight as the U.S-led multinational command marks the 75th anniversary of its establishment this year.
First deployed in 2007, the Dongmyeong Unit seeks to contribute to regional stability by conducting around-the-clock surveillance against illegal weapons and armed forces and combined training for peacekeeping operations.
"The peace mission carried out by the Republic of Korea Armed Forces is not merely a military mission.
The Hanbit Unit was first deployed to South Sudan in 2013, following its independence in 2011.
