  • The military respond well to external publics in the event of a crisis int that they are operated based on the trust of the people. Unlike other organizations, however, the Korean military has the distinctiveness that soldiers experience military life as internal publics for a certain period of time and after serving in the army, they become those who evaluate the military as external publics. Therefore, it is important to examine what would be effective crisis management strategies in terms of communicating with active-duty soldiers. Given that active-duty soldiers are accustomed to using SNS these days, this study investigated whether message forms (digital image vs. text) affect the perception of the military in crisis, acceptance of the given message, and attitude toward the military. Our empirical findings suggest that image-based messages are more likely to increase levels of message acceptance than text-based messages. Based on the results, we discussed practical implications on communication strategies for managing the military in crisis.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to identify the obesity stress, weight bias and health care on Body Mass Index (BMI) in soldiers of non-combat area and to provide data for improving the quality of their life. Methods: This research involved 165 soldiers working in non-combat area. Data collection was conducted from November 1 to 20, 2015. Statistical analysis of the collected data were t-test and ANOVA, $Scheff{\acute{e}}$ method post hoc analysis, Pearson's correlation coefficients, and multiple liner regression using IBM SPSS 22.0. Results: The mean score of obesity stress was moderate ($19.05{\pm}5.28$). The mean score of weight bias was 69.03 and health care was 2.41 points. There are a positive correlation between obesity stress and BMI (r=.19, p<.05). Weight bias (r=-.19, p<.01) and health care (r=-.26, p<.01) among the subjects had negative correlations with BMI. In a multiple liner regression, obesity stress (${\beta}=.18$, p<.05), health care (${\beta}=-.18$, p<.05) were associated with BMI. Conclusion: Based on the findings that obesity stress and health care influence BMI, there is a need to control stress and to properly set proper guidelines on health care for soldiers.

  • Objective : This study was undertaken to compare the diagnostic performances of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MR myelography (MRM) and myelography in young soldiers with a herniated lumbar disc (HLD). Methods : Sixty-five male soldiers with HLD comprised the study cohort. A visual analogue scale for low back pain (VAS-LBP), VAS for leg radiating pain (VAS-LP), and Oswestry disability index (ODI) were applied. Lumbar MR, MRM, and myelographic findings were checked and evaluated by four independent radiologists, respectively. Each radiologist was asked to score (1 to 5) the degree of disc protrusion and nerve root compression using modified grading systems devised by the North American Spine Society and Pfirrmann and the physical examination rules for conscription in the Republic of Korea. Correlated coefficients between clinical and radiological factors were calculated. Interpretational reproducibility between MRI and myelography by four bases were calculated and compared. Results : Mean patient age was $20.5{\pm}1.1$. Mean VAS-LBP and VAS-LP were $6.7{\pm}1.6$ and $7.4{\pm}1.7$, respectively. Mean ODI was $48.0{\pm}16.2%$. Mean MRI, MRM, and myelography scores were $3.3{\pm}0.9$, $3.5{\pm}1.0$, and $3.9{\pm}1.1$, respectively. All scores of diagnostic performances were significantly correlated (p < 0.05). However, none of these scores reflected the severity of patients' symptoms. There was no statistical difference of interpretational reproducibility between MRI and myelography. Conclusion : Although MRI and myelography are based on different principles, they produce similar interpretational reproducibility in young soldiers with a HLD. However, these modalities do not reflect the severity of symptoms.

  • Military officials in Korea are forced to change jobs early due to the retirement age after active service. Measures are needed in view of the 55% average employment rate of middle and long term soldiers during the last five years. The last government of Park Geun-hye push ahead creating of 50,000 jobs in discharged soldier with policy, but the results were not great. Therefore, it is time to drastically change the government's efforts to create large-scale jobs for discharged soldiers. It is necessary to break away from the traditional ways of expanding opportunities for employment at the academic level. So it became necessary for discharged soldiers to actively review ways to build their own organizations. For such reasons, this study presents a measure to create job through food service, Security personnel training and Manpower provision business, Special Soldier Control and Training Center Operation business, Han River Water Cleaning Project, Caring business, and delivery business by establishing their own social cooperation to create jobs for discharged soldiers.

  • When a traumatic subject experiences extreme stress, various psychiatric problems, including PTSD, can occur if they do not respond appropriately. In addition, non-war soldiers who experience life-threatening events while serving in the military may experience severe and chronic PTSD symptoms. However, there are still insufficient domestic studies on what traumatic events soldiers are exposed to and how much PTSD symptoms they experience. Therefore, this study provides a method that can be used as basic data for PTSD and psychological support of military service personnel by identifying trends in domestic research. Furthermore, it studies PTSD not only of soldiers but also of 'civilians' who have experienced combat, and provides symptomatic treatment and relief programs to civilians according to the difference in PTSD between general trauma and war trauma. It is expected that these studies will increase military confidence and enable the military to play a leading role in war trauma PTSD research and prevention, treatment and mitigation.

  • Objectives : Military Medicine, as its name suggests, deals with the subject of medicine in military settings. War has always been part of human history, and continues to be so even to this date. As such, many soldiers who take part in battles suffer from, or under the danger of, trauma and disease. Very few records in Korea deal with military medicine. Through a research, however, it was discovered that Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang contains a number of mentions regarding the subject matter. As such, the paper will review military medicine as mentioned in Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang. Methods : Bingbushouji as discovered in Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang was reviewed and its main treatment, origin, usage, and reference were categorized and given considerations. Results : Bingbushouji was referened 29 times in Euibangyuchwi and 22 times in Hyangyakjipseongbang. In most instances, Bingbushouji was used as simple prescription, and its usage mainly revolved around the exterior of human body, such as applying directly on the skin. Conclusions : A study of the texts in Euibangyuchwi and Hyangyakjipseongbang revealed that Bingbushouji was put together to treat the ailments and diseases of the soldiers during wartime, and to provide treatment to soldiers and non-combatants statying in a region where medical expertise is scarce.
