This study explored the relationship between self-esteem of soldiers and adaptation to military life and verified the mediating effect of depression in such relationships. The subjects of this study were 230 Army soldiers based in Gangwon-do. The collected data were analyzed through descriptive statistics, difference verification, hierarchical regression analysis, and the mediating effect method. First, according to the difference verification, the level of adaptation to military life was higher when the health status was good, among the general characteristics, when the family health was good, when the soldiers had friends, when they were sergeants rather than privates or corporals, and when they had someone to discuss their concerns. Second, the hierarchical regression analysis showed that the soldiers adapted to the military life better with better health status, when they served as combat soldiers, and when they had someone to consult. In addition, the higher the self-esteem, the main variable, and the lower the depression level, the higher the level of adaption to military life. Third, as a result of the mediating effect analysis, depression was found to have a partial mediating effect in the relationship between self-esteem and military adaptation. Therefore, this study presented practical alternatives to increase self-esteem and reduce depression as a factor to cope with soldiers' adaptation to military life.

Bullying, social support, and frustration showed average scores of 2.23, 3.60, and 2.75 points, respectively. There was a positive correlation between bullying, social support, and frustration. All of the subordinate variables of bullying showed significant impacts on frustration (p<.05), with psychological harassment showing the greatest impact (${\beta}=.340$), followed by bullying in interpersonal relationships (${\beta}=.149$) and bullying at work (${\beta}=.130$). In all the interaction items of the subordinate variable bullying ${\times}$ social support, bullying had a significant impact on frustration at p<.01, while the highest impact was shown in the interaction item of bullying ${\times}$ member support (${\beta}=.456$). The results imply that intangible combat power and solidarity among soldiers can be guaranteed only when superiors and peers provide full support for soldiers who are victims of bullying.

This study was a qualitative study performed to understand the nature and structure of the suicide attempt process experienced by maladjustment soldiers. The survey participants targeted 10 soldiers who entered 'Camp Green' due to lack of duty by the 00 Corps of ${\bigcirc}{\bigcirc}$ Prefecture. Data were collected by individual in-depth interviews from October 2016 to September 2017 and analyzed using Colaizzi's phenomenological method. The suicide attempt process by maladjusted soldiers was delineated into four categories such as 'A prison without bars', 'Walk on eggshells', 'A pretentious series of life', and 'A life of desperation'; 9 theme clusters; and 25 themes. As a result, maladjusted soldiers had a generally negative experience related to military culture. Soldiers who fail to adapt to military culture will show extreme behavior unless they are able to overcome their depression. Unless specific understanding of the suicide attempt process is attained, the suicide prevention policies of mission-maladjusted soldiers will be ineffective. The results of this study hope to serve as the basis for a suicide prevention and nursing intervention program.

로마군이 이룩한 군사적 혁신 중의 하나는 포진법과 야전 축성술에 있었다. 전투 중 매일 밤 로마군은 야전 축성을 하였다. 그리하여 로마로부터 그들이 멀리 떨어져 주둔하거나 다른 동료부대로부터 아무리 멀리 떨어져 주둔하더라도, 로마군 부대는 언제나 안전한 기지를 만들었고, 지휘관들은 공격 혹은 방어 전투를 실행할 수 있었다. 야전 축성은 신속하게 이루어졌고, 축성 작업 중에 모든 병사들은 자신이 담당할 특수한 임무를 받았으며 훈련을 통하여 로마군은 축성술에 익숙해져 있었다.

Objectives : The purpose of this study was to examine psychological characteristics of patients who visited psychiatric clinic for medical certificate for military service using MMPI-2-RF. We compared target group with general psychiatric patients with same age range. Methods : A total of 165 male patients for medical certificate and 154 general psychiatric patients were collected from the Department of Psychiatry of three university hospitals. There were significant differences of age and educational level between two groups. We used independent t-test, ANCOVA, ${\chi}^2$ test to examine differences between two groups. Results : Medical certificate group scored higher on the validity scales, the Higher-Order(H-O) scales, the Restructured Clinical(RC) Scales, the Specific Problems(SP) Scales, and the Personality Psychopathology Five (PSY-5) Scales. Especially, EID, RC7, HLP, SFD, SAV, SHY, DSF, and INTR-r showed significant differences between two groups on all three statistical tests. Conclusions : The present study showed that psychiatric patients who received psychological evaluation for military service have significantly higher emotional distress, helplessness, lower self-confidence, and lower quality of interpersonal relationships. And the difference of validity scales between two groups could be related with psychological burden of compulsory military service in the study sample which causes elevation on scales of infrequent responses. MMPI-2-RF would be helpful instrument to assess these emotional and psychological characteristics.

앞으로 장비의 소형화 경향은 계속될 것이다. 병사와 소총에 부착되는 장비가 작을수록 시뮬레이션은 실제상황에 더욱 근접할수 있을 것이다. 대부분의 사용군에서 제병연합훈련은 훨씬 더 장기목표인 듯하며, 초기단계에서는 소규모 보병단위부대에서 TES분야에서만 시장규모가 약 3억불 수준으로 추정된다. 장차 TES사용이 확대되어 TES 분야에서의 활황이 예상되며, 독일, 프랑스 및 영국의 업체들중 최종 승자가 TES시장을 거의 독점할 것으로 전망된다
