Apart from extending support to the armed forces that defend South Korea, the KBSC supports 20 to 25 joint and combined theatre level training exercises such as Ulchi Freedom Guardian, Key Resolve and Yama Sakura on an annual basis, as reported by the National Defense Industrial Association.
With facilities at two locations, KBSC along with its ROK-US counterpart organisation also provides additional support to those missions that are conducted beyond the Korean Peninsula.
The South Korean armed forces heavily rely on modelling and simulation for training due to limited access to the sort of live combat training centres found in the US and Europe.
