The US preparations include drills of evacuating US civilians from the area which will prepare for the safe exit of 230,000 Americans in the case of war breaking out.
Kim Jong-un has also vowed to destroy the strike group of United States warships off the Korean Peninsula adding to the rising tensions after the vessels were deployed in response to North Korea's defiance over its nuclear tests.
TheDailyStar reports: The last Courageous Channel was held in October last year, just after the North's fifth nuclear test in September.
This was said to be the most realistic evacuation drill of the peninsula, with participants flown out of the area.

The drill will be led by the 19th Expeditionary Sustainment Command south of Seoul, South Korea.At least three US citizens are believed to have been detained in North Korea, including Otto Warmbier and American professor Kim Sang Duk.
