Also present was Gen. Choi Byun-hyuk, deputy commander of the South Korea-US Combined Forces Command.

The meeting was meant as a chance for Moon to encourage the military leaders after their service throughout this year, according to Cheong Wa Dae spokesperson Ko Min-jung.

They also discussed the combat posture of the troops, progress in defense reform measures and an improvement in barracks culture, Ko added.

Moon called for continued efforts to assure the people of the country's firm defense and security. (Yonhap)
