[김관용의 軍界一學]The commander of the DRC army has commanded the US Army … Changsung personnel · changes in the educational system

[이데일리 김관용 기자] The Security Advisory Meeting, which is celebrating its 50th anniversary this year, is a representative annual security forum that supports Alliance development. It was launched in 1968 under the name "Ministerial Defense Meeting" when military tensions mounted due to North Korea's kidnapping of Pueblo. Since the fourth meeting in 1971, the diplomatic representatives of both countries have been transformed into a government security forum attended by the government. The name has been changed to the current SMC. In 1977, the SCM decided to train the ROK-US Combined Forces Command in the tenth year and, the following year, the CFC itself was created. In 1978, the South American Military Committee (MMC), an advisory body of joint Chiefs of Staff, was also created. As a result, a unified defense system has been established and implements the directives of both countries through SCM → MCM → Korea-US CFC.

50th Anniversary of SCM Approves Four Strategic Documents Relating to the Transfer of Power in Wartime

The 50th meeting of the SCM, held on October 31 in Washington, DC, at the Pentagon (US Department of Defense), was an important meeting for the transfer of operational control in time of war. Defense Secretary Chung Kyungdo and US Secretary of Defense James Mathis have agreed on four strategic documents related to the transfer of control of the CMS in wartime. It is an institutional device to maintain and develop the United States-United DRC defense system even after the transfer of armed forces to the DRC army.

The documents signed and approved by Korea and the United States are as follows: Common Defense Directive COTP amendment on the basis of the condition Revision of the memorandum of understanding of the future command structure Command South Korea Relationship between the parties concerned (TOR-R).

The Combined Unified Defense Directive includes a total of nine articles. The US military continues to remain in the Korean peninsula, even after the transfer of its war command, and it is said that it will respect its defense commitments to the Republic of Korea. . It also states that the ROK-US Combined Forces Command and Combined Forces Command (Combined Forces Command, Navy Command, Air Force Command, Navy Corps and Special War Command) must be organized in a to deter external aggression against the Republic of Korea and to defend against the failure of the suppression. The commander of the United Nations Command is the commander of the 4th Armed Forces of the DRC, and the 4th Armed Forces Officer of the United States is the second. At present, the USFK is the commander of the US Army Captain (USFK Commander) and the commander of the ROKA is the Deputy Commander. However, the Pentagon explains that when the commander and the commander of the combined forces DRC-US exchange the commander and the deputy commander, the organization in matters of staffing remains at the same level as the current command of the forces combined DRC-United States.

Such a future composition of unified command has the following meaning: the armed forces of the DRC command the US Army, the most powerful army in the world. It is also possible that the US military has accepted the unified defense system led by the Republic of Korea. It is unusual for US forces, who apply the so-called "pershing principle" of not being placed under the command of another army, to give command to the DRC army.

◇ Consensus of the Commander of the Armed Forces of the DRC

However, we should pay more attention to the fact that the appointment of the commander of the DRC – US allied forces to the DRC military commander has a considerable impact on our personnel and our education. In the meantime, the staff system of the DRC army officers was a form of promotion in the order of naval and air forces. I am expecting some degree of promotion from the middle clbad leader or above. In the case of the army as well, there was a relatively large number of people to promote, but the army promoters shared the positions of the Chief of Staff of the Army. , the Commander of the First and Third Field Armies, the Commander of the Second Operation and the Deputy Commander of the CFC.

However, the commander (leader) who should lead the ROK-US allied forces is unable to give a way to distribute it. Even if the DRC army has acceded to the captain, it is inevitable that there is a remarkable difference in the strategy and tactics of the most powerful US forces in the world. The experience of the exhibition itself is different. Since the commander of the DRC army must lead the US military, the Minister of Defense has no choice but to worry about the choice of the US Army. 39, a different person in the past. If the selected ROK-United States Combined Forces Commander is to be transferred to the Chiefs of Staff (the Constitution) or the President, all generals will have to strive to comply with the requirements to become Commander of combined forces. The education system for the general appearance is also likely to change naturally.

The US Secretary of Defense and the United States has decided to conduct an badessment of basic operational capability next year to test the future unified command system led by the Republic of Korea in this MSC. It is to check the ability of the ROKA Commander to perform combined operations through large scale US-ROK exercises, such as UFG exercises. During this process, the commander must constantly think of ways to win the battle against the stress of war throughout the two weeks of training and ask his subordinates to verify their competence.

After having verified the basic operational capability of the first step, the verification of the full operation capability (FOC) of the second step and the verification of the full mission capability (FMC) of the third step are performed. Unlike the one that depended on the US military, the DRC army should conduct the combined operation and combat capability of our military commanders should still improve during this process . Although some fear that the transition to war will weaken the military alliance between the DRC and the United States and dissuade deterrence, this could be an opportunity for the DRC army to turn into a new one. battle-oriented army in the current bloody administrative center.
