The Korea Sports Council (Chairman Yoo Seung-min) conducted the "2026 Jincheon County Emergency Response Comprehensive Training" on the 12th at the multi-purpose gymnasium area of the National Team Village in Jincheon, together with 19 related agencies including the Jincheon Fire Station.

The Korea Sports Council explained, "Approximately 210 officials from related agencies such as fire services, police, military units, and local government, along with around 50 units of equipment, were deployed to the site on this day to carry out response training that simulated real-world conditions."

The training began with a military and police operation to subdue terrorists in the early stages of a disaster, followed by initial measures taken by the National Team Village's self-defense fire brigade.

Subsequently, the Jincheon Fire Station issued a Level 1 response declaration and established a control headquarters, while medical institutions such as the Jincheon County Health Center and Jincheon Central First Hospital operated an on-site emergency medical station to manage emergency treatment and transportation systems for casualties.

Additionally, fire suppression efforts were carried out using available equipment, including the deployment of a Rapid Intervention Team (RIT) and wildfire firefighting vehicles. The training concluded with the transfer of command authority to the Jincheon County Disaster Safety Response Headquarters.

The Korea Sports Council stated, "In particular, having thoroughly prepared through prior tabletop exercises and three rehearsals, this training also ended safely and smoothly."

Kim Tae-soo, Director of the National Team Village, said, "This is a space where national team athletes devote themselves to training, requiring more rigorous disaster response capabilities than any other place. I am grateful to the officials from the fire station and related agencies who participated in the training with us. We hope to further solidify the coordination system established through this training."

The Korea Sports Council emphasized, "Going forward, we plan to continuously review our disaster response system based on cooperation with related agencies, strengthen real-world-focused training and preventive activities, and create a safe village environment where national team athletes can train with peace of mind."
