The Ministry of National Defense reintroduced the non-commissioned officer corps (RNTC) system for colleges from 2015 and has been testing it for five years. The reason for this is that the acquisition of non-commissioned officers in the military is low and the level of manpower management is low. Through the implementation of the NCO(RNTC) system, the military expected that the colleges would stably acquire non-commissioned officers with excellent resources in various major fields, and the colleges expected positive results in entrance exams and employment. However, when analyzing the results of the pilot operation, it can be evaluated that the expected results have not been achieved. It was found that the system needs to be supplemented and improved to achieve the purpose of the system implementation in the promotion of recruitment of district candidates, selection evaluation, operation and the cooperative system between the military and colleges. Therefore, in this study, a development plan was presented to supplement the system and operation system so that the non-commissioned officer corps system can be smoothly established at universities and obtain the expected results from the military and colleges.

The battlefield environment of the Korean peninsula is rapidly changing due to the advancement of the weapon system brought by the political situation of adjacent countries and the 4th industrial revolution. The reduction of population also caused a sharp drop in the recruitment of military personnel, making it unavoidable to reform the military structure. This meaningful study is timely with recent news reports on the shortage of recruitment by 10,000 persons in the last five years. Universities are also seeing a decrease in the number of new students due to the reduced school-age population, and affiliated universities are responding to this issue with great seriousness. With a reduction in manpower, requirement-handling military units need to step up their efforts to secure competent noncommissioned officers while affiliated universities must also train capable noncommissioned officers. As a solution to the matter at hand, this study aims to suggest a method that may vitalize both the navy and the navy-affiliated universities based on the results of literature research.
