Into the rough sea in the freezing cold...SSU overcoming the cold.

[Anchor]
There are men who jump into the rough seas and protect the lives and safety of the people.

The Navy's Maritime Rescue Battalion, SSU members have been trained in the cold weather and are ready to carry out missions in the new year.

I'm reporter Lim Hyung-joon.

Long marches gathered in front of the deep blue Jinhae sea.

About 70 members of the Navy's Maritime Rescue and SSU will be trained in the cold ahead of the "Korea" where the cold is coming from the season.

After lightly warming up with various movements such as push-ups, you start running 5.5km.

The air in January is cold enough to breathe white every time I sing a military song, but
Members of the
SSU ran vigorously overcoming the fierce sea breeze.

From private to lieutenant colonel, from feisty 20s to 40s in Gwannok.

Even though the class and age are different, we unite with the mind of 'We are SSU'.

Members heated up with special gymnastics and running.

Throw yourself into the ice-cold sea of 6 degrees without hesitation.

Like men whose home is the sea, sea swimming is their specialty.

It penetrates the rough current and runs 1km in 10 minutes.

[Park Young-nam / Navy Maritime Rescue Battalion Chief: The Maritime Rescue Battalion is prepared for the highest level of rescue operations with practical training to protect the lives of the people and their comrades at sea]

SSU members united with passion and determination.

Even in the chaotic social atmosphere caused by emergency martial law and impeachment, there is no gap in preparing to save people's lives in extreme situations.

"To a wider, deeper ocean! Mr. Deep, Diver!"
