Next, President Yoon visited the combat control room and received a report on the military readiness posture from Division Commander Kang. He said, “The 15th Division is an invincible victorious unit that annihilated the enemy’s 7th Division in the Battle of Goseong, Gangwon-do during the Korean War. It is a unit with a great tradition to which former President Syngman Rhee bestowed a title. I am reassured that the entire division is maintaining a firm readiness posture befitting its brilliant history and honor.”

In a meeting with junior officers, President Yoon encouraged them for their hard work by checking on whether they had eaten songpyeon, and he also asked the non-commissioned officer in charge of the soldiers’ mess hall what kind of food the younger generation likes these days.

While doing so, he said, “If you eat well, you can train well and develop fighting power,” and instructed that units in remote areas be provided with sufficient canned food and combat rations.

He also said that for a sergeant whose wife is serving in the same unit, having his family together will be a great source of support, and that he plans to “create many organizations in the future that can provide medical benefits to military families and local residents.”
