As a sending state to the United Nations Command in the Republic of Korea (ROK) and in common with other nations, the UK sends personnel to participate in two exercises conducted each year in the ROK. In 2016, the UK sent 56 personnel to Exercise Key Resolve (22 filling staff posts in a Headquarters and 34 in a UK Brigade HQ) and 22 personnel to Exercise Ulchi Freedom Guardian (all filling staff posts in a Headquarters).
