Emergency Numbers
Korean Theater of Operations (KTO) Universal Emergency Number
To improve emergency response across the Korean Theater of Operations (KTO), a single universal emergency number has been established for the U.S. military community.
Dial 1551-0911 from anywhere in Korea to connect with an
English-speaking emergency dispatcher.
- The KTO is geo-fenced, automatically routing your call to the nearest U.S. military installation dispatch center.
- This ensures faster coordination with appropriate emergency services, regardless of your location.
