Participating U.S.
Army units included elements of the 143rd Transportation Command from
Orlando, Florida, and the 7th Transportation Group from Fort Eustis,
Virginia. A U.S. Air Force three-person element from the 18th Weather
Detachment monitored weather conditions affecting the exercise.
ROK forces included about 300 personnel from the ROK Marine Corps, Navy
and Army who provided security and force protection. The ROK Port Operations
Group provided port operations control and harbor defense for the MSC
ships throughout the two-month long exercise in May and June 2001.
The forces worked together to build a 200-tent city, capable of housing
and feeding 1500 personnel. The team also constructed a 1,200-foot long
(366 m), 20-foot high (6.1 m) elevated causeway on the beach and transferred
3.2 million gallons (14.5 million liters) of fresh water from ship-to-shore
using both the Navy’s Offshore Petroleum Discharge System (OPDS)
and the Army’s Inland Petroleum Discharge System (IPDS). Additionally,
the joint and combined forces moved more than 350 20-foot long (6.1
m) containers from ship-to-shore using a combination of landing craft
from the ROK Navy, U.S. Armyand U.S. Navy.
