The army is concerned about the decrease in enlistment resources due to the low birth rate and the weakening of military combat power due to the shortening of the military service period. Now, the military's quantitative growth is no longer limited and it is a time for qualitative growth. To this end, the Army has been applying the Israeli learning method Havruta to recruit training to improve the quality of training since 2019. After applying Havruta, several scholars have studied the effect of recruit training applying Havruta. As a result, it was verified that recruit training applying Havruta improves the inner motive, creativity, and military service value of trainees. This study investigated how trainees' inner motive, creativity, and military service value affect their satisfaction and achievement. In addition, it was studied whether the effect of recruit training applied with Havruta on achievement differs according to the educational background (high school graduate or higher) and military family (professional soldiers within 4th degree) of the trainees. To this end, a survey was conducted on 472 recruits, and the structural relationship between each variable and the moderating effect were analyzed using the structural equation model. As a result of the study, military service value did not affect training satisfaction. Also, there was a difference in the effect of creativity on training satisfaction according to the educational background of new recruits, and there was a difference in the effect of military service value on training satisfaction and training achievement according to military family members. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the improvement of the army's recruit training development plan and effective training system.

PURPOSE: This study compared the grip strength of young adult male soldiers who had undergone military training with civilian adult males by indirectly examining the impact of military training on the grip strength and overall muscle mass. Grip strength, an essential biomarker for overall health and crucial combat abilities, was explored within the demanding conditions of military service. METHODS: The research measured the grip strength of soldiers actively serving in the military and compared it with data from healthy civilian males in their twenties to determine if a structured training regime significantly enhances grip strength more than a typical civilian lifestyle. The data were analyzed using descriptive statistics with the means and group differences assessed using a t-test (p < .05). An online survey was conducted among the military group to self-assess the changes in grip strength before and after enlistment to gauge the awareness of such changes. RESULTS: Significant differences were observed between the groups, with an observable increase in grip strength with age within the military group, suggesting that military training can positively impact muscle maintenance and enhance daily life. CONCLUSION: Further research will be needed to elucidate the effects of military physical training programs and their broader implications for military readiness and overall health.

The purpose of this study is to find improvements in current issues faced in counseling training within the military and also show limits in counseling capabilities of military officers who are in charge of leading and counseling their troops. In reference to previous studies made on this topic, we looked at issues rising from military troops who are mainly in their post-adolescents having difficulties in adopting themselves to military life style. We also studied current status of counseling within the military and the counseling difficulties faced by military officers who are closely related to their troops.Survey and in-depth interviews were conducted to achieve the purpose of this study. 100 military officers were surveyed for the frequency of the counseling sessions, and to supplement the survey, in-depth interviews were conducted 3 military officers and analyzed qualitatively. As a result of the survey and the in-depth interviews 76.5% of the military officers never had counseling training prior to joining the military and only 32.9% received counseling training after joining the military. 61% of the survey participants expressed difficulties in counseling their troops. Most of them expressed difficulties in lack of training and issues on theory based training. For the improvements following have been identified; "understanding the troops", "Identifying the problems", "Execution of the training" and "Techniques for Military Training". This study has a meaning in terms of identifying improvement areas in counseling training in the military through researching into current limits in military counseling and military officers counseling capabilities when the social issue of new troops having difficulties in adopting to military life style are on the rise.

This paper focuses on a scheduling problem of military training. Repetitive and identical training over multiple serials is a common type of military education. A simple but systematic method is suggested to determine a training schedule for small groups divided from each serial. A satisfactory training schedule and the number of such small groups can be determined by iteratively solving assignment problems with additional constraints. With this method, loads of instructors can also be balanced without violating constraints associated with precedence and continuity relationships among lectures.

This study examined the reality of military counseling education applied by the Army and studied the effects of military counseling training using virtual reality. First, we explored the cases of virtual reality application related to counseling, reviewed the virtual reality technology that can be benchmarked in the Army military counseling education, and examined the applicable technology. We classified the education method and the curriculum for the students and tested the difference using the analysis of variance, which is a statistical analysis method, through the satisfaction measurement of the current education. In addition, after having students experience virtual reality contents, the effects of practical training applied with virtual reality technology were derived and the difference in actual training was compared and analyzed through T-test. Then, the reliability of the study was improved by analyzing the effects of practical training using virtual reality by using the Analytic Hierarchy Process for the expert group who can consider the overall situation. Based on the results of the analysis, the development plan of military counseling training combined with virtual reality technology and the supplements of current military counseling education were presented as policy implications.

There has not been any scientific analysis on appropriate size of workforce and salary for civilian workers in military so far. Thus, this paper conducted analysis on propriety in employment size of military doctrine researchers using system dynamic methodology based on annual military doctrine workload. Vensim software was mainly used to measure complement of the research group based on data from job analysis. Secondly, a multiple regression analysis was performed to study an appropriate wage for researchers based on their expertise and working condition. The data from twenty public research institutions and twenty eight job positions that are performing similar duty with military doctrine researchers was obtained and utilized to create a salary-estimation regression equation in the analysis. Finally, with cost-benefit analysis method this paper studied financial effectiveness of hiring military doctrine researchers. Contingent valuation method, which has been recognized as one of the most effective methodologies in cost-benefit analysis on intangible value, was utilized to measure benefit of hiring the researchers. The methodology presented in this paper can be applied to measure and improve the efficiency of military organization not only in military doctrine research area but also in several military functional area (military training, logistics, administration, combat development, and combat support).

This paper examines the history of karate, its utilization as military training, and its value as a national defense sport. Originating from Okinawa, karate was introduced into Japanese military training in the modern era and spread worldwide. During World War II, the Japanese military intensified karate training for close-quarters combat. Post-war, karate was introduced to Western society through the U.S. military presence in Japan. In contemporary militaries, various martial arts, including karate, are utilized in training programs such as the U.S. Marine Corps Martial Arts Program (MCMAP) and the Israeli military's Krav Maga. These programs integrate techniques from karate, judo, boxing, and other martial arts to create systems optimized for real combat. In military education, karate enhances individual physical and mental capabilities and improves unit combat effectiveness. Rigorous training develops physical fitness, mental resilience, and practical skills for close-quarters combat. Group training fosters camaraderie and unit cohesion. However, due to the changing nature of modern warfare, it is necessary to reconsider the proportion and methods of martial arts training in military education. With the advancement of high-tech weaponry, team operations have become more critical than individual combat skills. Rather than applying traditional karate techniques unchanged, it is essential to modify and develop them to suit modern warfare. Nevertheless, the value of martial arts training, including karate, remains significant in cultivating key soldier qualities such as physical strength, indomitable spirit, and camaraderie. It is anticipated that militaries worldwide will continue to evolve their martial arts training systems in line with changing times.

So far, most of the military trainings were carried out in the field, and were influenced by the various parameters of the weather, the climate and the civil complaints regarding the noise. Also, it's the reality that the considerable time and resources are required to maneuver the weapon system used for the military training. Furthermore, the serious damage and casualties during tha military training are important parameters that can't be ignored. Recently, with the development of 5G communication networks and XR technologies, XR technologies are used in various fields that participate with multilateral parts, i.e. in military technology and training. In this paper, to implement the military education, 5G communication network and military education training system were established. The military education training system were composed that over 10 persons were possible to train in the various circumstances such as counter combat, mountains combat, urban combat and beaches combat. Also it is possible to fight with AI combatants, and train the gun disassembly and assembly, and train the various firing exercise. The military training system of using XR technologies were applied to the multilateral military training, and we analyzed the satisfaction results for the experienced persons of this XR system.

For the key factors determining victory of combat, many works have been focusing on qualitative analyses in the past. As military training paradigm changes along with technology developments, demands for scientific analysis to prepare future military strength increase regarding military training results, and big data analysis has opened such possibility. We analyze the data from KCTC (Korea Combat Training Center) training to investigate the factors affected victory in offensive operations. In this context, we develop a way to measure the victory and the factors related to it from existing studies and military doctrines. We first identify Independent variables that affect offensive operations through variable selection and propose a mathematical model to explain combat victory by performing multiple regression analysis. We also verify our results with battalion-level live training data as well as previous studies on victory factors in the military doctrines.
