In 2000, Choi headed the operations of the Korean military’s medical support unit in Western Sahara. He also served with the Zaytun Division in Iraq for six months in 2006.
The U.N. Military Observer Group in India and Pakistan began operations in January 1949. Korea has been sending military observers since October 1994, and currently has seven personnel in the area.
