Science technique development expanded into, not only land, sea, and air operations but also those of airspace, and cyber battle spaces. It is generally accepted at this time that space centric operations currently cannot be effectively divided from air operations. However, science and technology advancements make it possible to integrate Army, Navy, Airforce, and Marine forces into effective operations as never before. The Republic of Korea Armed Forces needs to establish a more effective joint concept. The US military, considered by many experts as the most effective in the world, understands the necessity of joint operations and accordingly has highly developed its own concept of joint operations. The US joint operational concepts demonstrated their effectiveness during the Iraqi War by dominating the battlefield through effective use of all combat and non-combat power. Following the US Iraqi War experience, the US Department of Defense continued to enhance Joint Capability through the acceleration of US Military Transformation involving all components. The future national security of the Republic of Korea, faced with the peculiarity of communist threat in the form of North Korea, and the conflicting interest of four strong powers; the United States, China, Japan, and Russia, depends on small but strong armed forces employing all available combat power through effective National and Military Strategy, and considering domestic and international constraints. In order to succeed in future wars, military operations following joint operational concepts must effectively employ all available combat power in a timely manner. The Republic of Korea Armed Forces must establish a joint forces concept in order to integrate all available combat power during employment. Therefore we must establish military operations that develop the military structure and organization, doctrine, weapon systems, training and education of our armed forces based on the key concept of joint operations.

Background: Several large outbreaks have demonstrated the threat of community-associated methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (CA-MRSA) in close-contact environments, such as occurs during training and quartering of military recruits training. In South Korea, which is a hospital or healthcare-associated MRSA prevalent area, military service is compulsory for all healthy young men. We surveyed and determined the extent of CA-MRSA colonization in the upper respiratory tracts of Korean military recruits. Methods: The Korean military recruits who were enrolled in a military training facility from November 2004 to March 2005 were eligible for this study. Sputum or nasopharyngeal swap was obtained from randomly selected subjects who displayed upper respiratory tract symptoms. Results: Of the 181 participants, 32 participants (17.7%) were colonized with S. aureus, and 12 participants (6.6%) were colonized with MRSA. Among the cases that were colonized with S. aureus, 37.5% (12/32) were colonized with MRSA. Antimicrobial susceptibility testing showed resistant patterns that were suggestive of the CA-MRSA strains for all of the MRSA isolates. Conclusion: This study of Korean military recruits found a great deal of showed MRSA colonization in them, and the antimicrobial resistant profile that was suggestive of a CA-MRSA strain. Further efforts to prevent the spread of MRSA infections and careful monitoring for CA-MRSA outbreaks are warranted, especially in a high risk group such as military recruits.

South Korean national security strategy should be developed to effectively handle and counter increasing maritime threats and challenges. There are three major maritime threats South Korea faces today; maritime disputes on the EEZ boundary and Dokdo islet issues, North Korean threats, and international maritime security. Maritime disputes in the region are getting intensified and turned into a military confrontation after 2010. Now regional countries confront each other with military and police forces and use economic leverage to coerce the others. They are very eager to create advantageous de facto situations to legitimize their territorial claims. North Korean threat is also increasing in the sea as we witnessed in the Cheonan incident and Yeonpyoung shelling in 2010. North Korea resorts to local provocations and nuclear threats to coerce South Korea in which it may enjoy asymmetric advantages. The NLL area of the west sea would be a main hot spot that North Korea may continue to make a local provocation. Also, South Korean national economy is heavily dependent upon foreign trade and national strategic resources such as oil are all imported. Without an assurance on the safety of sea routes, these economic activities cannot be maintained and expanded. This paper argues that South Korea should make national maritime strategy and enhance the strength of naval forces. As a middle power, its national security strategy needs to consider all the threats and challenges not only from North Korea but also to maritime security. This is not a matter of choice but a mandate for national survival and prosperity. This paper discusses the importance of maritime security, changing characteristics of maritime threats and challenges, regional maritime disputes and its threat to South Korea's security, and South Korea's future security strategy and ways to enhance the role of naval forces. Our national maritime strategy needs to show middle and long term policy directions on how we will protect our maritime interests. Especially, it is important to build proper naval might to carry out all the roles and missions required to the military.

도시화와 4차 산업혁명 기술의 발전으로 대한민국의 메가시티 수는 점차 증가하고 있다. 메가시티는 인간의 삶을 풍요롭게하는 기회요인인 것은 분명하다. 하지만, 야포, 방사포 등 점증하는 북한의 치명적인 재래식 위협을 고려했을 때는 대한민국의 안보를 위협하는 도전요인이기도 하다. 지정학적으로 한반도와 유사한 상황에 처해 있는 이스라엘은 주변국으로부터 가해지는 저고도 위협을 상쇄하기 위해 다중으로 방공체계를 구축하였고, 지난 2021년 발발한 이스라엘-팔레스타인 분쟁에서 실질적인 효과를 거두었다. 이와 같은 개념을 적용한다면 대한민국의 메가시티에 가해지는 북한의 저고도 위협을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있을 것이다. 더 나아가, 메가시티 다중방공체계의 감시, 결심 및 타격수단을 초연결하고 인공지능 기술을 덧입힌다면 북한과 주변국으로부터 가해지는 저고도 위협뿐만 아니라 고고도 위협도 상쇄할 수 있는 게임체인저로 발전시킬 수 있을 것이다. 이를 통해, 대한민국은 정치, 군사, 경제, 사회, 정보, 기반시설 등의 원천인 메가시티를 중심으로 국가 번영과 성장을 이룩해나갈 수 있을 것이다.

Nerve agents (sarin, tabun, soman and VX) are class of military important substances able to cause many severe intoxications during few minutes. Currently, the threat of misuse of these agents is daily discussed. Unfortunately, there is no single antidote able to treat intoxication caused by all of these agents. Owing to this fact, new generation of antidotes, especially acetylcholinesterase (AChE; EC 3.1.1.7) reactivators, is still developed. In this study, we have tested four newly developed AChE reactivators: 1-(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)- 5-(4-carbamoylpyridinium)-3-oxa-pentane dibromide (1), 1-(3-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-5-(4-carbamoylpyridinium)-3-oxa-pentane dibromide (2), 1,5-bis(2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-3-oxa-pentane dichloride (3) and 1,5-bis(4-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-3-oxa-pentane dibromide (4) for their potency to reactivate in vitro tabun and cyclosarin-inhibited AChE. Their reactivation efficacy was compared with currently the most promising oxime HI-6 (1-(2-hydroxyiminomethylpyridinium)-3-(4-carbamoylpyridinium)-2-oxa-propane dichloride). According to obtained results, two AChE reactivators 1 and 4 were able to reactivate tabun-inhibited AChE. On the contrary, there was no better AChE reactivator than HI-6 able to reactivate cyclosarin-inhibited AChE.

상용제품에 종속적인 국방 사이버 방호체계 생태계는 APT(Advanced Persistent Threat) 등 지능화된 최근 사이버 공격양상에 더욱 취약할 수 있다. 일반무기체계는 대부분 특정 방위산업체가 양산한 관급제품으로 원천기술 등에 대한 보호가 가능하지만 사이버 방호체계는 대부분 상용제품으로 군을 공격하지 않고 산업체 공격을 통해 군 공격이 직 간접적으로 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 국방 사이버 방호체계를 구축해나가는 생태계에 있어서 적 공격의 가상 시나리오를 분석해보고, 이에 대한 취약성 및 위협성을 평가 및 검증하여 안전한 국방 사이버 방호체계 생태계 구축을 위한 기술적, 정책적 방안을 제시한다.

So far, the main threat to South Korea was North Korea. That is why South Korea established a strategy based on the threat of North Korea and most of the budget on defense was used to deter North Korea. Even though the neighboring countries(China, Japan, and Russia) are growing as a real threat with abilities and intentions based on their powerful naval forces, South Korea has not yet been able to establish a strategy that regards neighboring countries as a threat. But the decades-old structural mechanism of the Korean security environment is undergoing a radical change on April 27, 2018, through the South-North summit and the Panmunjom Declaration. Under the changing security environment, South Korea was placed in a complicated dilemma that had to deal with threats of two axes(China), three axes(China, Japan), and four axes(Japan, Russia). If the one axis threat(North Korea) is dominated by land threats, the second, third and fourth axis threats are threats from the sea. This paper analyzed the maritime strategy of Korea within the framework of maritime-geopolitics, in other words recognition and expansion of the sphere of maritime. I have designed that the maritime defense space that we can deny from threats is divided into three lines of defense: 1 line (radius 3,000km), 2 lines (2,000km), and 3 lines (1,000km). The three defense zones of the three lines were defined as an active defense(1 line), defensive offense(2 line), active offense(3 line). The three defense zones of the three lines were defined as the sphere of core maritime, As a power to deny the sphere of core maritime, it was analyzed as a maneuvering unit, a nuclear-powered submarine, the establishment of missile strategy, and the fortification of islands station. The marine strategy of South Korea with these concepts and means was defined as 'Offensive Maritime Denial Strategy'.

본고에서는 구한말 학교체육의 중심이 되었던 병식체조의 도입과 발전과정 다루었다. 특히, 일제의 강제하에 관립학교의 병식체조교육이 제한된 이후의 사립학교의 병식체조교육의 민족주의적 특성을 조명하고자 하였다. 사실 1905년 을사조약이후 관립학교의 병식체조교육이 제한되었지만 사립학교의 병식체조는 더 강화되었다고 볼 수 있다. 이는 당시 조선인의 민족위기의식이 더 고조되었고, 또 1907년 조선의 군대해산이후 무관학교 출신 교사들이 사립학교의 체육교사로 자원했기 때문이다. 이들 체육교사들은 병식체조교육을 독립운동의 연장선으로 여기며 사립학교의 체육교사로 부임해 와서 학생들에게 병식체조 교육과 함께 민족주의 정신을 심어 주었다. 이처럼 매우 강한 부국강병과 조국수호의 목적을 가지고 시작한 병식체조 수업은 학교체육 교육안에 속해 있는 활동이었다. 하지만 당시 시대적 부국강병과 국가 침탈의 위기의식으로 인하여 조화로운 신체발달을 추구하기보다 군사훈련의 목적이 더 강했다고 볼 수 있다.
