  • 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.
