Description Korean Incremental Training Program [KITP] is a bilateral exercise conducted in the vicinity of Pohang, Republic of Korea. U.S. Marine forces participate in live fire, maneuver and mountain warfare training with Republic of Korea Marine Corps forces. The Korean Intergrated Training Program is a one and a half month joint training in conjunction with the Republic of Korea (ROK) Marines that takes place in Pohang, Korea Marine Expeditionary Camp Pohang (MEC-P). The Korean Incremental Training Program gives U.S. Marines the opportunity to practice tactics in an environment much different from that found in Okinawa, Japan or Hawaii. It also gives them a chance to increase interoperability with the Republic of Korea Marine Corps forces, and to enhance their warfighting skills.
