Abstract

As the Korean navy's capabilities increase, it becomes increasingly necessary to develop sufficient navigational capabilities and train proficient seafarers. However, in terms of securing personnel resources, seafarers will need to be utilized more effectively due to the population decline of recent years. This paper reviews the use of civilian maritime personnel to research potential resources and uses the U.S. military sealift command as a benchmark. As a result, it has been found that it is possible to increase naval combat capability through the establishment of like a military sealift command organization to operate defense civilian support vessels. In addition, it is possible to train civilian seafarers by utilizing the current national education system through existing maritime universities. Furthermore, taking these actions will allow the ROK navy to operate its onboard ship reserve service and designated international ship system more efficiently.

한국의 해군은 점증하는 대양해군의 역량강화에 따라 충분한 항해능력의 확보와 우수한 병력을 확보하는 것이 요청되고 있다. 그러나 병력자원의 확보측면에서는 최근 전체적인 인구감소 추세에 따라 병력의 효율적인 활용이 요구되고 있다. 이 연구에서는 가용자원의 확보를 위해 국방민간인력으로서 선원을 활용검토하고 미국의 해상운송사령부를 벤치마킹하였다. 검토결과 해상운송사령부를 설립하여 작전지원함정을 운영할 경우 해군의 전투능력이 확장이 가능하다. 게다가 기존에 구축된 해양대학 등 국가 교육시스템과 민간의 해기자원을 활용하는 것이 가능하다. 또한 승선근무예비역 제도와 지정국제선박을 보다 효율적으로 운영할 수 있을 것이다.
