Recently, at the National Shooting Range Area 3, the 9th Division (4th Corps) organized a one-sided, two-level command exercise with a partial live-fire component involving coordinated fire support from various branches of the armed forces.

| The simulated scenario for the exercise involved an enemy landing from one direction, creating a springboard for a deep offensive.
