Amid escalating tensions on the Korean Peninsula, President Donald Trump has issued a directive for the evacuation of U.S. citizens from South Korea, unveiling a strategic drill named Courageous Channel. Military sources indicate that this operation, scheduled for June, is designed to meticulously prepare for the safe departure of approximately 230,000 Americans in the event of a conflict.
The prospect of a Pyongyang attack has heightened concerns, particularly regarding the tens of thousands of American civilians, including military dependents, residing in and around the capital city of Seoul. With the potential for a conflict to erupt, the safety and evacuation of these individuals become a critical challenge for the United States.
The geographical proximity of Seoul, located just 35 miles from the border, raises significant apprehensions. More than 12,000 North Korean artillery guns, strategically positioned in well-dug and camouflaged locations, pose a substantial threat, making the need for a comprehensive evacuation plan imperative. The Courageous Channel drill seeks to address these complexities and ensure the preparedness of U.S. forces for the safety and protection of American citizens caught in the potential crossfire.
