US to Test South Korea in World's Largest Cyber War Games

Story:  US and South Korean troops will stage a massive cyber war game
this month to test joint security postures aimed at countering any
threat from North Korea.

The annual 12-day joint operation, called "Ulchi Focus Lens (UFL)," will
start on August 19, US military authorities in Seoul say.

The United States has described UFL as the world's largest
computer-assisted war games.

The exercise involves US soldiers, including experts from Japan, Guam
and the United States.

South Korean troops and government agencies will stage simultaneous
"command post" drills to test preparations for military conflicts and
natural disasters.

But South Korea has shunned publicity for UFL in a bid to keep afloat a
fresh reconciliatory mood created by North Korea's sudden decision to
resume high-level dialogue with Seoul.

The three-day ministerial dialogue will start in Seoul next Monday.

North Korea has demanded South Korea scrap all joint military exercises
with its US ally, blaming the presence of 37,000 US troops in the South
as the main source of Cold War hostility on the Korean peninsula.

But the US military says UFL is a routine and regular exercise of
defensive nature.

"UFL is designed to evaluate and improve combined and joint
coordination, procedures, plans and systems for conducting contingency
operations between [South Korean] and US forces," it said in a
statement.

The two Koreas have not technically ended the 1950-53 Korean War with a
full peace treaty and Ulchi Focus is one of three main joint drills
conducted every year.
