Yonhap News Agency: S. Korea, U.S. start maritime drills against N. Korea
(Yonhap) -- The South Korean and U.S. navies on Monday kicked off massive combined drills off the coast of the peninsula amid heightened tensions.
The allies plan to continue the Maritime Counter Special Operations Exercise (MCSOFEX) through Friday in the East Sea and the Yellow Sea, also known as the West Sea.
It involves the U.S. 7th Fleet's aircraft carrier USS Ronald Reagan (CVN-76) and two Arleigh Burke-class destroyers -- the USS Stethem (DDG-63) and the USS Mustin (DDG-89).
The carrier strike group will train with South Korean warships and other defense assets, such as the Sejong the Great Aegis ship and P-3 Orion anti-submarine aircraft in the East Sea.

Update #2: US Deploys Special Forces "Decapitation" Team To South Korea (Zero Hedge)
WNU Editor: The key sentence in the above Yonhap report is this one ....
.... A unit of U.S. special forces tasked with carrying out "decapitation" operations is aboard a nuclear-powered submarine in the group, according to a defense source.
This disclosure was deliberate .... to send a message to North Korean leader Kim Jong-un that he is not safe.

It also means no such operation will be carried out. Imagine if they carried out such an operation and it went horribly wrong - the media would quickly blame such disclosures, disclosures I might remind you Trump took a stance against when Obama did it left right and center... and here we have such disclosures happening again.
Not that Kim needs any extra reason to be paranoid.
LOL. Before the US military worries about nuke strikes and decapitation missions maybe they should get the basics down first.
Like navigation and not crashing boats into other boats.
When is MAGA?
D Plowman has a good point.
I hope they won't try it, it wont end well for the u.s.
Unfortunately anonymous is spot on. The US military needs to focus on fhe basics right now. A decapitation strike against the North Korean leadership is pretty much impossible. Maybe we need to guard against a decapitation strike against our own leadership.
How do we get North Korea's allies to help us? What can we offer them? I'm pretty sure we can offer more than North Korea does. This will take prudent leadership to get this right. I pray it is forthcoming.
