This study conducted research over status of employment and living by collecting questions & answers from retired soldiers after service in ROK Army more than 5 years in last 5 years. As the methodology of this research, the status of employment has been provided from the Citizen Insurance Public Corporation, and conducted interviews for all individuals in addition to the receiving of questions & answers. Also, the statistic data prepared and submitted for Congressional Audit & Inspection from MND was also utilized for the purpose of research. In conclusion, the situation faced with retired soldiers after their retirement is showing the future of reflection of oneself to the personnel in active service who must do their best only for their duty to keep national security. If those personnel in active service are worrying about their future returning to civilian society after retirement, it will not only become an impediment to perform their duty but also bring invisible weakening of military power to defend our nation in result. This is the rationale for the necessity of providing support for social adaptation, reemployment and inauguration of retired soldiers.

This study proposes improvements to the personnel management system for military officers in South Korea, addressing challenges posed by rapidly changing security environments and population decline due to low birth rates. The research identifies key issues in the current system, including lack of predictability in long-term service selection, limited opportunities for professional development, uncertainties in post-retirement careers, rigid organizational culture, and inadequate responses to demographic changes. To address these issues, the study analyzes personnel management practices in foreign militaries, including the United States, United Kingdom, and Israel, deriving valuable insights. Based on this analysis, the research suggests several improvement measures: enhancing predictability in long-term service selection, providing tailored job transition support for different military specialties, and expanding personnel exchanges between military and civilian sectors. Specific recommendations include clarifying long-term service selection criteria, introducing a phased selection system, strengthening connections between military specialties and civilian job sectors, expanding support for professional certifications, and increasing personnel exchange programs with public institutions and private companies. The study also outlines necessary legal and institutional reforms, strategies for securing and allocating budgets, and a phased implementation plan. The research proposes amendments to the Military Personnel Management Act, legislation for supporting retired military personnel, and the introduction of a performance-based budget management system. A systematic implementation plan is presented, divided into short-term, medium-term, and long-term phases.

The National Defense Reformation bill of "National Defense Reformation 2020" which have been constantly disputed and reformed by the government went through various levels of complementary measures after the North Korean sinking on the Republic of Korea (ROK) Naval Vessel "Cheonan". The final outcome of this reform is also known as the 307 Plan and this was announced on the 8th March. The reformed National Defense Reformation is to reduce the number of units and military personnel under the military structure reformation. However, in order for us to undertake successful National Defense Reformation, the use of privatized civilian resources are essential. Therefore according to this theory, the ROK Ministry of National Defense (MND) have selected the usage of privatized resources as one of the main core agenda for the National Defense Reformation management procedures, and under this agenda the MND plans to further expand the usage of private Especially the MND plans to minimize the personnel resources applied in non-combat areas and in turn use these supplemented personnel with optimization. In order to do this, the MND have initiated necessary appropriate analysis over the whole national defense section by understanding various projects and acquisition requests required by each militaries and civilian research institutions. However for efficient management of privatized civilian resources, first of all, those possible efficient private resources which can achieve optimization will need to be identified, and secondly continuous systematic reinforcements will need to be made in private resource usage legislations. Furthermore, we would need to consider the possibility of labor disputes because of privatization expansion. Therefore, full legal and systematic complementary measures are required in all possible issue arising areas which can affect the combat readiness posture. There is another problem of huge increase in operational expenses as reduction of standby forces are only reducing the number of soldiers and filling these numbers with more cost expensive commissioned officers. However, to overcome this problem, we would need to reduce the number of positions available for active officers and fill these positions with military reserve personnel who previously had working experiences with the related positions (thereby guaranteeing active officers re-employment after completing active service). This would in tum maintain the standards of combat readiness posture and reduce necessary financial budgets which may newly arise. The area of maintenance, supply, transportation, training & education duties which are highly efficient when using privatized resources, will need to be transformed from military management based to civilian management based system. For maintenance, this can be processed by integrating National Maintenance Support System. In order for us to undertake this procedure, we would need to develop maintenance units which are possible to be privatized and this will in turn reduce the military personnel executing job duties, improve service quality and prevent duplicate investments etc. For supply area, we will need to establish Integrated Military Logistics Center in-connection with national and civilian logistics system. This will in turn reduce the logistics time frame as well as required personnel and equipments. In terms of transportation, we will need to further expand the renting and leasing system. This will need to be executed by integrating the National Defense Transportation Information System which will in turn reduce the required personnel and financial budgets. Finally for training and education, retired military personnel can be employed as training instructors and at the military academy, further expansion in the number of civilian professors can be employed in-connection with National Defense Reformation. In other words, more active privatized civilian resources will need to be managed and used for National Defense Reformation.

This paper explores the determinants of re-employment of retired military personnel who served more than ten years in Korea. Recently, the re-employment rate of veterans is less than 30%. Considering the reduction in military forces in future, this very low rate of re-employment may be one of important social and economic problem. Using a survey and econometric analyses, we generate several important results. First, spouses' income is higher in the group who chose to run their own business than in the group who decided to become salary workers. Second, those who gave economic activities had longer the period of military service, higher ranks, and higher rate of being in bad health. Third, the longer the military service period is, the shorter the period of job search. And those who not taking the program of vocational guidance have short search period. If, however, one was more educated or one served longer in Seoul area, then she is more likely to have a longer search period. These results imply that the current important factors in government policies for veterans such as vocational guidance programs, information for employment, and military experience should be improved to be more oriented to the requirements of employers.

For many years, there have been many researches and guidelines to improve the employment rate of discharged soldiers. However, there have not been enough effective analysis conducted about the outplacement service and improvement guidelines. That is the reason why the satisfaction level of governmental supporting programs for the discharged soldiers stays at low level. Therefore, a methodical approach is needed for the discharged soldiers who have dedicated their services for many years for the sake of the country's security. For this reason, tools which can support build an effective outplacement service for the discharged soldiers are required. In this study, psychological, structural and environmental aspect of discharged soldiers were surveyed at the cognitive level based on the soldiers waiting for the discharge from military service. As a result, it became clear that psychological advice or support and job training for the discharged soldiers who executed long-term service are urgent. In addition, an efficient system can control and maintain the system mentioned above.
