Claudio A. Martinez , Marine Corps Air Station Iwakuni MARINE CORPS AIR STATION IWAKUNI, Japan Various units from here and around the world kicked off the annual Key Resolve/Foal Eagle 2010 exercises in the South Korean peninsula Monday. Iwakuni-based Marine Aircraft Group 12, Marine All Weather Fighter Attack Squadrons 242 and 121, Marine Wing Support Squadron 171, Combat Logistics Company 36, Strike Fighter Squadron 94 and Marine Attack Squadron 311 service members will be involved in the exercises. Maj. Kyle Magrisi, MAG-12 headquarters commanding officer, said it’s important to build a good working relationship with the Republic of Korea’s armed forces so all units can effectively work together in the defense of South Korea in the event they are ever attacked. According to a news release by the Yongsan Army Garrison, Republic of Korea Public Affairs Office, Key Resolve is designed to exercise the decision-making skills of senior leaders involved in the exercise. Key Resolve is primarily a combined forces command operational plan command-post exercise, which concentrates on maneuvering troops and supplies in the defense of South Korea. Since environmental and political restrictions limit training in South Korea, most of the exercise is conducted through computer modeling and simulations. Exercise Key Resolve is considered one of the largest computergenerated exercises in the world and involves close training between U.S. and ROK forces. Once the decision-making exercises conducted through Key Resolve are finished, Exercise Foal Eagle can begin. “For Key Resolve in itself, MAG-12 has a very small part in it. However, we are a subordinate unit to 1st Marine Aircraft Wing which puts together their own tactical air control center to control aircraft in the simulation,” said Magrisi. “Foal Eagle is not necessarily computer generated. There is a lot of flying that goes on by MAG- 12.” Exercise Foal Eagle is a joint security forces defensive field-training exercise which has portions of it slated to continue until April 30. Like Key Resolve, Foal Eagle will involve close defensive military training between ROK and U.S. forces from all over the world and will greatly benefit Iwakuni-based Marines who are participating in the exercise. “The thing about this exercise, Foal Eagle, is it’s the capstone exercise for MAG-12,” said Magrisi. “It’s the largest command and control exercise that we do in any given year. This is our one opportunity to bring all of our units, all four squadrons that are here assigned to MAG-12, to participate in this exercise. This is the only exercise we are able to do that ― function as a MAG in its entirety.” Foal Eagle is designed to exercise the defensive field and air capabilities of participating service members in the defense of South Korea in the event of an attack. “This is one of the few chances we get to go and work with the people in Korea,” said Maj. Brendan O’Connell, MAG-12 plans officer. “We get to work pretty close with them and we get to go see some of the ranges, see some of the ground that we would either be living on or working at in the event that we had to go to Korea.” Aside from being a great training opportunity to work jointly with other U.S. forces, the greatest benefit seen by some of the participating service members is being in South Korea. “I think both the familiarity with the way things are run on the peninsula and then building the relationships, those two things together are probably the most important things to gain from the exercises,” said O’Connell.
