Summary

  • Pohang Port hosted U.S. Navy seamen on July 9 as they offloaded a 5-ton LARC-V during Combined Joint Logistics Over-the-Shore 2026.
  • The amphibious resupply operation was designed to prove cargo can move directly from ship to shore without established port infrastructure in a simulated theater conflict.
  • Combat Logistics Regiment 35 carried out the drill, highlighting logistics-over-the-shore readiness as a core capability for sustaining forces when ports are unavailable or damaged.
