U.S. troops have recently been able to test the Terminal High-Altitude Area Defense battery's remote control for the first time as part of joint exercises with South Korea, the U.S. Forces Korea said last Friday. It was the first deployment test since the battery was installed here in 2017. A South Korean military officer said, "We urgently needed to beef up air defenses against North Korean missiles in the face of the growing nuclear and missile threat." THAAD missile interceptors were moved to a site dozens of kilometers from the base in Seongju, North Gyeongsang Province and remotely controlled from the base.
