The core of this training was 'minimizing human casualties,' focusing on ▲ securing optimal access routes for various mountain terrains ▲ rapid rescue using rescue equipment such as ropes ▲ cultivating rescue methods suitable for weather conditions and the physical strength of personnel, to strengthen the expertise of rescue team members in life-saving and improve response capabilities according to accident types.
In particular, emphasis was placed on mastering advanced rescue techniques where rescuers use equipment such as ropes, pulleys, and descenders to quickly approach and rescue hikers in danger in special terrains like cliffs and valleys that are difficult to access on foot.
Chief Kim Suhwan said, "With the increase in hiking population, the risk of mountain safety accidents is also rising. Considering the characteristics and conditions of Jeju's mountainous terrain, we will develop various rescue techniques and provide the best rescue service through prompt response in case of mountain accidents."
