YES if, no later than August 22, 2026, at least one publicly reported joint live training operation involving both South Korean and U.S. military units has started, such as a joint flight, naval exercise, amphibious landing, or field training. Determination will be based on official statements from the South Korean Ministry of National Defense or U.S. Indo‑Pacific Command and reporting by major news organizations such as AP or Reuters. Otherwise NO.
