US military personnel in South Korea are being advised to take precautions in light of recent events in the country. Following President Yoon Suk Yeol's brief attempt to impose martial law, US Forces Korea (USFK) is encouraging its personnel to avoid non-essential travel and large crowds.
According to Col. Ryan Donald of USFK, there have been no changes to Force Protection levels at this time. However, military personnel are being urged to limit off-post travel to only mission essential activities until further notice.
Furthermore, USFK leaders are cautioning military personnel to steer clear of possible protests and South Korean government offices in and around Seoul. The security situation remains a top priority for USFK, and personnel are advised to stay vigilant and avoid any potentially risky situations.
It is important for US military personnel in South Korea to stay informed and follow the guidance provided by USFK leadership. By exercising caution and adhering to safety recommendations, personnel can help ensure their own well-being and contribute to the overall security efforts in the region.
