  • 비무장지대에 대하여 정전협정 문헌적 고찰을 실시한 후 군사비밀에 문제점이 없는 범위에서 현재까지 집중되어 있는 군사력 배치 현황을 언급하였으며, 이러한 강력한 군사력은 한반도의 평화적인 통일에 있어서 저해요소로 판단하였다. 향후 한반도 통일시대를 대비하여 중무장된 비무장지대를 비무장화하기 위한 군사력 감축방안을 정치 및 경제적인 현상과 연계하여 제시하였다. 남북한의 군사적 긴장완화의 필요성은 평화통일 기반을 구축하는데 있어서 필수적인 요소이다. 남북은 이제부터라도 그동안의 교류협력 사항을 점검하고 다시 한번 재도약의 길로 나아가야 할 것이다. 평화적 공존을 위한 비무장지대 군사적 신뢰구축 방안은 정치 및 경제적인 현상을 고려하여야 한다. 우선적으로 비무장지대의 군사적 신뢰구축 방안으로 비무장지대의 경계는 첨단화, 과학화하여 병력을 최소화 하여야 할 것이다. 나아가 남북 직통전화 수도 최대한 늘려서 우발상황 발생시 긴장완화에 기여할 수 있어야 한다. 정치적인 측면과 경제적인 측면에서는 북한의 이익 등을 보장하면서 군사적인 불안감을 주지 않는 방안이 제시되어야 할 것이다.

  • This study began to confirm or review the balance of power theory by applying scientific methods through experiential cases. Though there are several kinds of national power, this study supposes military power as a crucial power when it comes to war and peace. This research covered balance and imbalance through comparing relative military power between nations or nations' group. Comparison of relative military power can be achieved by statistically processing the values of which has been converted into the standard variables in same domain, then calculating the values of nation's power which has been synthesized different experiential factors. In addition, the criteria of experiential experiment is highly dedicated to European countries, USA, Japan prior to 1st and 2nd World War, as well as USA, Soviet Union and North East Asia during Cold War era. In addition, the balance of power theory has been redefined to review the action of the state upon the changes of power as mentioned in the theory. To begin with, the redefined theory states that relative level of military power between nations defines the consistency of peace and balance of power. If military power is enough to be on the range of level required to keep the power in equilibrium, peace and balance can be achieved. The opposite would unbalance the military power, causing conflicts. While the relative military level between nations change, nations seek to establish 'nations group' via military cooperation such as alliance, which also shift relative military power between nations group as well. Thus, in order to achieve balance of power, a nation seeks to strengthen its military power(self-help), while pursuing military cooperation(or alliance). This changes relative military power between nations group also. In other words, if there exists balance of power between nations, there is balance of power between nations group as well. In this theory, WWI and II broke out due to the imbalance of military force between nations and nations group, and reviewed that due to the balance of military force during the Cold War, peace was maintained. WWI was resulted from imbalance of military cooperation between two powerful states group and WWII was occurred because of the imbalance among the states. Peace was maintained from cooperation of military power and balance among the states during the Cold War. Imbalance among continental states is more threatening than maritime states and balance of power made by army force and naval force also is feasible. Also the outcomes of two variables are found military power balanced ratio of military power for balance is 67% when variable ratio of balance is 100% and standard value for balance is 0.86. Military power exists in a form of range. The range is what unstabilized the international system causing nations to supplement their military powers. These results made possible the calculation and comparison between state's military power. How balance of power inflicted war and peace has been studied through scientific reviews. Military conflict is highly possible upon already unbalanced military powers of North East Asian countries, if the US draws its power back to America. China and Japan are constantly building up their military force. On the other hand, Korean military force is inferior so in accordance to change of international situation state's survival could be threatened and it is difficult to achieve drastic increase in military force like Germany did. Especially constructing naval force demands lots of time; however but has benefit that naval force can overcome imbalance between continental states and maritime states.

  • This thesis is the result of the study about 'How we should develop the human resources program to gain human strength in the strategic environment of the future?' Once again, regional stability is interdependent with economic stability, political stability, and military stability of all the factors in the region. History shows that if a militarily capable regime lacks economic resources, then there is political pressure on the regime to use their military to acquire needed resources. The purpose of this study is to find the way that how to gain excellent human resources now and in the future. Military man power should be strong whenever. The Ministry of National Defense has "Reform Military Structure Plan". The focus of this Plan is Korean military strategy in the situation of the confrontation between South and North Korea and in the situation of the international relationship and the way of constructing the military strength for the future. To study these subjects, I reviewed the theories of "Acquisition Program of Human Strength" were developed and assessed the future strategic environment of the Korean Peninsula. From these studies, I suggest that The Ministry of National Defense should pursue preparing for the future military strategy and military structure. we should be skillful in supplementing the Human Strength. We should study about Military Revolution Plan and Human Strength structure for the future.

  • The Republic of Korean Navy (ROKN) started from scratch. However, ROKN demonstrated its Blue Navy capabilities successfully to the entire world by conducting "Operation Early Dawn" at the Aden Bay, Yemen in Jan 2011. On the event of the 70th anniversary of the ROKN, I would like to retrospect past gleaning from voyages and challenges we had in the past. At the very inception of the ROKN, Korean government as well as senior military leaders recognized that it had no time to spare to clean up military those were insinuated deeply by communist agents. It was the top priority of the government. The Mongumpo Operation which was not well known, conducted by ROKN was one of the clean-up drive. The Korean War sometimes called as "a fire from land put-off at the sea". The world famous "Incheon Landing" which reversed war situation from the Nakdong Perimeter also done by Sea Power. ROKN conducted various maritime operations including not only Incheon Landing, but amphibious operation at Hungnam, mine sweeping, sea convoy, Wonsan Withdrawal. On the same day of the Korean War started, 25th June 1950, unless the victory of the ROKNS Baekdusan (PC 701) at the Korean Strait, the waning lamp light of Korea could not be rekindled by the participation of the U.N. The ROKN rescued the 17th regiment of Korean Army from the isolation at the Ongjin Peninsular and transported gold and silver bars stored at the Bank of Korea to the Navy supply deposit in Jinhae safely. ROKN special intelligence unit conducted critical HUMINT which led Incheon Landing success. One of important mission ROKN conducted successfully was not only transporting war fighting materials but also U.S. provided grains to starving Koreans. ROKN participated Vietnam campaign from 1960s and conducted numerous maritime transportation operations supplying materials to Vietnam military forces along the long coastal lines. Experienced Naval Officers and enlisted men who discharged and acquired as merchant marine certificate supported most of the U.S. sea lift operations throughout the Vietnam campaign. ROK-US Combined Forces which had been honed and improved its war fighting capabilities through the Korean War and out of Vietnam jungle playing key deterrent against threat from north Korea. However, those threat level will be completely different when north Korea finish its nuclear weapon ambition. In order to stand firm against north Korean nuclear threat, I would like to expect strong political leadership supporting nuclear submarine for ROKN.

  • 미국의 한반도 정책은 비핵화이다. 미국정부는 북한의 핵위협을 제거하기 위해 군사행동의 가능성을 고려했었다. 군사행동 고려는 1993년 중반부터 1994년 중반까지 정점에 달했다. 그러한 공격은 직접적으로 한국전을 일으켰을 것이다. 당시 북핵위기는 북미협상과 한미동맹에 의해 해결되었다. PSI의 목적은 지구적 또는 지역적 안보에 심각한 위협을 일으키는 국가나 비국가행위자에게 대량살상무기, 운반체계, 관련 물질의 확산을 막거나 적어도 억제하는 것이다. PSI의 가장 논쟁의 여지가 있는 활동은 차단이다. 북한은 구상에 대해 심각한 우려를 표명하면서 다음과 같이 언급하였다. 무기를 개발하고, 배치하고, 수출하는 것은 주권이다. 그리고 자신들의 선박에 대한 차단은 선전 포고로 간주할 것이다. 한국이 북한선박에 대한 차단을 시행하면 북한은 도발로 대응할 것이므로 한반도의 긴장은 극적으로 증가할 것이다. 한국은 한미동맹과 남북관계를 고려해야하기 때문에 PSI에 매우 조심스럽게 접근하지 않을 수 없다.

  • 이 논문은 한반도 통일이 가시화되고 여건이 조성되어 남북한 군사통합을 추진하게 될 때 무엇을 준비하고 실행해야 하는가를 군사 과제를 중심으로 연구하는데 목적을 두었다. 현 상황에서 남북한 통일의 시기를 예단하기는 제한되나 군사적 폭력을 관리하는 군사통합은 평시부터 준비가 되어 있어야 한다. 만일 군사통합이 실패하면 통일 자체도 위태롭게 되기 때문에 실천적 측면에서 정교한 준비가 요구된다. 이 연구에서는 다음의 주제에 대한 해결방안을 제시하고자 한다. 한반도에 적합한 군사통합의 유형과 전제조건은 무엇인가? 남북한 군사통합 추진 시 군사적 과제는 무엇인가? 이 중 핵심과제와 중요과제는 무엇이고 실천적 측면에서 어떻게 준비되어야 하는가?

  • Since June 25th 1950, the beginning of the cold war (Korean war), Korean peninsula is still in a state of war. Officially South and North Korean government call a truceafter three years from the beginning day, however both countries are still having several combats in these days. So every Korean citizen male has duty for serving military duty and this lasts even after the serving regular military force, as reserved military. Although South Korea is very small country, the size of military is very large so informing all reserved military takes some time. Since this nation is confronting the enemy and considering the global potential threat, South Korean military needs expedite informing system to call up the reserved military to active duty. In this project, the current informing system has been analyzed and compared with the new method which is using social network service such as Twitter. However mobilization order is very critical. So in our new model there are two ways combined. Using twitter to inform and then use traditional ways to finish the order. This method will provide more efficient and accurate way to cover the call ups.

  • 비무장지대(Demilitarized Zone : DMZ)는 군사분계선(Military Demarcation Line : MDL)을 경계로 남북으로 각각 2km씩을 비무장지대로 설정하기로 협정으로 정했지만 지난 65년 동안 무장이 가득한 지대로 유지되어왔다. 남쪽의 경우 민간인 통제선(Civilian Control Zone : CCZ) 이북 지역과 그 배후의 접경지역은 사람들의 출입이 오랫동안 제한되어 오히려 비무장지대보다 자연이 상대적으로 더 잘 보전되어왔다. 자연유산(natural heritage)은 자연생태계의 보호할 가치가 있는 생물과 그 서식지, 그리고 무생물 자원으로 정의된다. 비무장지대에서는 다양한 생물들과 습지를 비롯한 서식지와 지형들이 있음이 여러 조사를 통해 확인되고 있다. 비무장지대는 완벽하고 보전이 잘 되어 있는 서식 공간은 아니었다. 하지만 한반도에서 그만한 다양성과 규모를 가진 공간이 없고, 향후 관리 방향에 따라 복원이 가능한 최적의 장소로서 의의가 있다. 그러므로 비무장지대와 잘 보호된 일부 민통선 이북 지역을 포함한 그 일원의 서식지 유형(habitat type)을 파악하고 지도를 만들어 관리한다면 한반도에서 멸종 위기에 있는 종들이나 멸종한 종들을 서식하게 하는 최적 장소가 될 것이다. 이때 한강 하구와 동해의 석호(lagoon) 등을 포함하는 것이 필요하다. 비무장지대 일원의 조사와 보호 노력을 남북 공동으로 진행해야 하므로, 특히 비무장지대 내부를 남북 과학자와 국제 전문가를 포함하여 국제 과학조사를 추진하고 장기 계획을 세워 보전과 지속 가능한 이용 방안을 모색하는 것이 필요하다.

  • Withe increased North Korea's security threats, the South Korean navy has been faced with deteriorating security environment. While North Korea has increased asymmetric forces in the maritime and underwater with the development of nuclear weapons, and China and Japan have made a large investment in the buildup of naval forces, the power of the Pacific fleet of the US, a key ally is expected to be weakened. The biggest threat comes from China's intervention in case of full-scale war with North Korea, but low-density conflict issues are also serious problems. North Korea has violated the Armistice Agreement 2,660 times since the end of Korean War, among which the number of marine provocations reaches 1,430 times, and the tension over the NLL issue has been intensifying. With tension mounting between Korea and Japan over the Dokdo issue and conflict escalating with China over Ieo do Islet, the US Navy has confronted situation where it cannot fully concentrate on the security of the Korean peninsula, which leads to need for strengthening of South Korea's naval forces. Let's look at naval forces of neighboring countries. North Korea is threatening South Korean navy with its increased asymmetric forces, including submarines. China has achieved the remarkable development of naval forces since the promotion of 3-step plan to strengthen naval power from 1989, and it now retains highly modernized naval forces. Japan makes an investment in the construction of stat of the art warship every year. Since Japan's warship boasts of its advanced performance, Japan's Maritime Self Defense Force is evaluated the second most powerful behind the US Navy on the assumption that submarine power is not included in the naval forces. In this situation, naval power construction of South Korean navy should be done in phases, focusing on the followings; First, military strength to repel the energy warship quickly without any damage in case of battle with North Korea needs to be secured. Second, it is necessary to develop abilities to discourage the use of nuclear weapons of North Korea and attack its nuclear facilities in case of emergency. Third, construction of military power to suppress armed provocations from China and Japan is required. Based on the above naval power construction methods, the direction of power construction is suggested as follows. The sea fleet needs to build up its war potential to defeat the naval forces of North Korea quickly and participate in anti-submarine operations in response to North Korea's provocations. The task fleet should be composed of 3 task flotilla and retain the power to support the sea fleet and suppress the occurrence of maritime disputes with neighboring countries. In addition, it is necessary to expand submarine power, a high value power asset in preparation for establishment of submarine headquarters in 2015, develop anti-submarine helicopter and load SLAM-ER missile onto P-3C patrol aircraft. In case of maine corps, division class military force should be able to conduct landing operations. It takes more than 10 years to construct a new warship. Accordingly, it is necessary to establish plans for naval power construction carefully in consideration of reality and future. For the naval forces to safeguard maritime sovereignty and contribute to national security, the acquisition of a huge budget and buildup of military power is required. In this regard, enhancement of naval power can be achieved only through national, political and military understanding and agreement. It is necessary to let the nation know that modern naval forces with improved weapon system can serve as comprehensive armed forces to secure the command of the sea, perform defense of territory and territorial sky and attack the enemy's strategic facilities and budget inputted in the naval forces is the essential source for early end of the war and minimization of damage to the people. If the naval power construction is not realized, we can be faced with a national disgrace of usurpation of national sovereignty of 100 years ago. Accordingly, the strengthening of naval forces must be realized.
