Over 120 service personnel from C Company, the 1st Battalion Scots Guards, have deployed to South Korea on Ex IMJIN WARRIOR 23. This joint military exercise aims to develop relationships between the United Kingdom and the Republic of Korea. The exercise takes its name from the Battle of the Imjin River, a decisive battle in the Korean War that remains a significant event in British military history. Over 2,000 personnel from both countries participated in Ex IMJIN WARRIOR 23, working together to improve the partnership between the two militaries. 2023 marks 70 years since the end of the Korean War and 140 years of UK-Korea relations. The exercise demonstrates the UK's enduring commitment to enhancing Indo-Pacific security by shifting greater resources to the region. The Ex coincided with Baroness Goldie's ministerial visit to Seoul for the UK-Korea Strategic Defence Dialogue, providing an opportunity to identify new avenues for cooperation. Over the past 18 months, C Company, also known as 'The Rabbits', has been deployed around the globe, including the Falklands, Gibraltar, and Oman. At the end of the exercise, C Company had the opportunity to conduct a number of cultural visits, including a tour of the DMZ and a visit to the Gloster Hill War Memorial at the exercise's namesake in Imjin. This was particularly poignant for a number of the soldiers in C Company whose relatives had fought in the battle.
