For a large organization such as a military service which can foresee future growths in its manpower requirements, a systematic tool that can provide analysis of its present manpower structure and policies in terms of meeting the future requirements, is in order today. This paper proposes a network model for such a purpose. The ROK Navy officer corps manpower system is studied and formulated as a network model, which may be expressed as a linear programming problem of minimizing total cost. An appropriate cost concept is developed and the out-of-kilter algorithm of Ford and Fulkerson is computer programmed to be used as a solution procedure for this network problem. A case study is conducted with a set of hypothetical data on a possible Navy combat-line specialty manpower problem.

The low birthrate and the need for national defense reform in Korea drive the Navy to develop efficient human resource planning such as a manpower forecasting model. However, to our knowledge, there is no study exploring the manpower forecasting model for naval ships in Korea. The purpose of this paper is to develop a model for forecasting manpower demand in naval ships. Data for analyses were drawn from 19 ships in the Korean Navy. Results indicate that mission type is significantly related to the number of manpower. Specifically, battleships need the more manpower than the battle support ships. The results also showed that the weight of hull structure-engine and the weight of the weapons system significantly increased the number of manpower. However, the weight of the combat system was not significant. In addition, whereas the automation level of hull structure-engine and the automation level of weapon system was found to be negatively related to the number of manpower, the automation level of combat system was positively related to it. The model developed here contributes to an advanced human resource planning of the Korean Navy. Implications, limitations, and directions for future research are discussed.

NCOs of the amy-navy-air force are the foundation in maintaining, developing and leading the army making manpower aquisition very important. Currently, the operation or the recruitment business is being overlapped by each training institutions leading to uneffectively decreasing the curiosities of the applicants regarding their future. Even though the NCO selection policy is strong in the aspect of retaining uniqueness, use of acquired specialist, and statute revision, it is showing insufficiency in publicizing, selection effectiveness, promotion of peoples' conveniency, and budget reduction. Therefore, if the unification regarding the recruitment of each military sectors are run by the MMA(Military Manpower Administration), which is the institute that is fully responsible for the recruitment duty, it can acquire excellent man power while decreasing effort and resources, provide accurate information to the NCO applicants on time, and provide improved services through the convenient facilities and systems.

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.

The Army, Navy, and Air Force are currently making various efforts to apply defense IoT technology by reflecting the characteristics of each military. However, there are concerns that comprehensive collection, management, and analysis may be limited because each military has no overlapping system or guaranteed interoperability of data, and there are inefficient aspects in terms of using and investing a limited defense budget. In this study, evaluation items and priorities for pilot projects were selected by applying Delphi technique and AHP method to determine which projects are preferentially effective when commonly applied in terms of Army, Navy, and Air force. As a result of the analysis, the project basis and driving force, project feasibility, performance and ripple effect, redundancy and connection were identified in the order of IoT-based small detachment units and unmanned base construction, intelligent smart unit, smart ground ammunition depot, and smart training management system. According to the comprehensive results reflecting the weights of each evaluation item, the fact that small detachment units and unmanned base construction project are recognized as the first project to be applied to the Army, Navy, and Air Force is a valid approach to be effective while each military is burdened with personnel management because of the reduction of manpower. Through the research results, it is expected that the direction of application to the policy of the defense IoT project can be confirmed in terms of efficient use of limited budgets.

MRO is important concept in military logistics. It is required to reforming military budget and manpower because of decreasing troops and other factors. For this reason, military logistics needs to change and improvement. MRO is necessary concept in this situation. In that case, How improve Naval Weapons Systems MRO for this changing time? For example, ROK air force applies Aerospace MRO industries in their Weapons Systems. But, ROK navy's MRO concept is uncertain and current MRO is divided just three step, Organizational Maintenance, Field Maintenance, Depot Maintenance. So it is time to develop systematic MRO concept for improving Naval Weapons Systems and Logistics. In this research, This0 study is about expanded application of PBL and the need to make relationship between Private enterprise and Military.

The Canadian military participated in World War I and felt the limitations of the recruitment system through the continuous shortage of troops caused by the prolonged war, therefore expanded the role and scope of female manpower. The use of female manpower, which began with medical support for the first time, increased its necessity and importance as medical support personnel were dispatched overseas and women's manpower was expanded to combat support missions for the Army, Navy, and Air Force. Since then, the proportion of female manpower has been limited to 1.5% of the total number of employees at the end of the Second World War and the reduction of troops and the dismantling of the women's unit. In this situation, the Austrian Defence Force gradually accepts the recommendation of the Royal Canadian Women's Status Committee to improve the service conditions of women, marking a turning point in expanding the role of women in the Canadian military. The the Austrian Defence Force conducted long-term combat experiments to increase the proportion and role of female manpower, increasing reliability through observation and analysis to prove whether female manpower is suitable for combat troops. Korea also wants to draw implications for the future direction by comparing the history and current appearance of the Canadian military's use of female manpower with the Korean military at a time when the problem of a shortage of troops is emerging due to the recent decline in fertility and low birth rates.
