South Korea Extends Cheonghae Unit Operations to Omani Waters, Adds 75 Personnel

South Korea's government on November 10 approved an extension of the Cheonghae Unit's deployment through December 31, 2027, expanding its operational area from the Gulf of Aden to waters south of Oman. The naval task force will receive additional maritime assets, including one P-8A Poseidon surveillance aircraft and unmanned mine-clearing equipment, with personnel increased from 320 to 395 personnel.

The amended mandate adds a new mission to support recovery of freedom of navigation along international maritime routes, signaling potential support for normalizing traffic through the Strait of Hormuz should conditions allow.
