Nuclear Consultative Group meets for two days in Washington, D.C.
Officials from the United States and South Korea concluded a two-day table-top simulation that explored possible strategic maneuvers to discourage the use of nuclear weapons by North Korea. Security, defense, military, diplomatic, and intelligence officials all participated in this table-top simulation, the first round of war games conducted by the Nuclear Consultative Group (NCG) formed between the two nations.
“The simulation greatly contributes to the work of the NCG, especially by strengthening the Alliance’s approach to cooperative decision-making about nuclear deterrence and planning for potential nuclear contingencies on the Korean Peninsula,” the Department of Defense explained.
“Through the NCG, the United States and ROK will work to continuously improve combined exercises and training activities on the application of nuclear deterrence on the Korean Peninsula — including through regularized table-top exercises and whole-of-government simulations.”
