  • Objective: This study was designed to describe the trends in body mass index (BMI) during 6 years (2002-2008) and to identify associations between these trends and the amount of physical activity of South Korean career soldiers. Method: This study targeted the 40 993 (38 857 men and 2136 women) of the 58 657 career soldiers who had undergone four (2002, 2004, 2006, and 2008) biennial medical examinations conducted by the National Health Insurance Corporation; 17 664 soldiers with missing data on height, weight, and physical activity were excluded. A linear mixedregression model was used to categorize changes in BMI due to age versus those due to amount of physical activity. Results: Career soldiers experienced significant increases in BMI compared with baseline data gathered in 2002. The increases in each age group were as follows: men aged 20-29: 1.16, men aged 30-39: 0.61, men aged 40-49: 0.05, women aged 20-29: 0.35, women aged 30-39: 0.30, women aged 40 -49: 0.26, and women aged 50-59: 0.21. However, men aged 50 or older showed significant decreases (as high as 0.5) in BMI compared with baseline data obtained in 2002. They also experienced significant decreases in BMI compared with those who reported no physical activity. The differences between baseline and final BMIs were: 0.02 for men exercising 1-2 times per week, -0.07 for men exercising 3-4 times per week, -0.19 for men exercising 5-6 times per week, -0.21 for men exercising seven times per week, -0.05 for women exercising 1-2 times per week, -0.19 for women exercising 3-4 times per week, -0.30 for women exercising 5-6 times per week, and -0.30 for women exercising seven times per week. Conclusions: Obesity in South Korean career soldiers increased markedly between 2002 and 2008, and our data showed that the amount of physical activity was inversely related to increases in BMI. Policies to prevent obesity are needed to reduce this trend.

  • 이 연구는 세계군인체육대회에 참가한 여성군인의 경험과 상호교차적 환경에서의 정체성 교섭에 대해 의미를 분석하고자 하였다. 연구참여자는 눈덩이표집법에 의해 세계군인체육대회에 참가한 여성군인 3명을 선정했다. 자료수집은 심층 면담을 진행했다. 수집된 자료는 면담내용의 시간적 흐름에 따라 내러티브 분석을 통해 내용의 의미를 이해하려고 했다. 결과는 시간적 흐름에 따라 운동입문에서 군 입대 전, 군 입대, 군대 생활, 세계군인체육대회 참가계기와 과정, 세계군인체육대회가 끝난 후의 이야기로 구성되었다. 스포츠와 군 사회는 성을 이분법적 담론으로 내재화하고 있었으며, 이런 양성불평등적 인식에 대해 여군들은 자신의 능력개발을 통해 정체성을 확립하고 있었다. 하지만 여군이 처한 현실은 여전히 보수적이었으며, 제도적 사회문화적 인식이 개선되어야 할 것으로 보인다.

  • The essay focuses on the relationship between the soldiers and the oppressed women in Lynn Nottage's Ruined (2009) in terms of Julia Kristeva's abject to show how the abjected Congolese women expose the falsehood of the order and identity that the military forces try to construct and maintain by war and violence. According to Kristeva, the abject is something that is rejected for the repulsion and horror it arouses but constantly draws the subject to it at the same time. Physically impaired and socially stigmatized, sexually abused Congolese women find a shelter in Mama Nadi's bar, the only place where they can continue their lives as the abject since the place, like the women themselves, lies outside the symbolic order occupied and corrupted by the men of DRC. Although the men involved in the armed conflict have abjected the women in pursuit of their own system and order, the women are not simply the objects of abuse and oppression. The men have to rely on Mama Nadi and her women not only to reaffirm their identity and power by suppressing them but also to fulfill their biological needs. In addition, the women's resistance against the soldiers demonstrates their power to challenge the men's symbolic order and expose its frailty. Apropos of the abject's resistance, various artistic genres such as poetry, music and dance appear in the play as an escape from the grim reality and a means of challenging and transcending the symbolic order. Bringing all these artistic elements together into a powerful piece of theatre-often considered as an 'abject' genre nowadays, Nottage demonstrates both the power of theatre as well as the tenacious Congolese women.

  • A uniform is generated in the course of confirming a singular mode of dress that is adopted by a community for a specific purpose. In particular, women's uniform has a close relations to their position in the community they belong to. And women's uniform has closely been associated with finding ways into their communities over the centuries, and is part of women's development process. Women's history of using organized uniforms has not been longer than men's. Their realm of activities began to be enlarged due to the World War, and women's uniform has gradually settled down and moved toward diversity. The origin of many uniforms worn by today's women can be traced back to the end of the last century, and this fact indicates that women started to find their ways into many new fields at that time. There has been a lot of changes until current women's uniforms come out. It's intended in this study to contribute to designing more creative and productive women's uniform, by taking a careful look at typical early uniforms for service personnels, nannies, nurses and soldiers that are an indication of their work and working environment.

  • 현대전에서 예비전력은 매우 중요한 역할을 한다. 그동안 예비전력에 대한 주 관심 대상은 남성이었고, 여군 예비전력은 거의 관심을 받지 못해 왔다. 이제는 여러 상황 변화에 따라 여군 예비전력의 필요성에 관심을 가져야 할 때이다. 인구감소에 따라 상비군 전력 자원뿐 아니라 예비전력의 자원 감소, 전쟁 양상변화에 따른 여군이 장점을 가지고 임무수행할 수 있는 분야의 발전, 그리고 양성평등 및 여성의 사회적 역할 증대의 시대적 상황 변화가 주요한 요인이라고 볼 수 있다. 군에서 현역 여군이 증가하는 이유이기도 하다. 그러나, 현재 전역 여군은 예비군에 편입되는 것이 필수가 아닌 선택사항이다. 예비군 편입을 희망하는 퇴역 여군 수가 증가하지 않는 경우, 현역 여군 수가 증가함에 따라 예비군에 편입되는 간부의 수는 감소하게 될 수 있다. 이에 본 연구의 목적은 전역 여군의 예비역 편입 확대 필요성과 현역 여군의 증가가 예비역 여군 전력에 미치는 영향을 연구하는 것이다.

  • 호주군은 1899년 제2차 보어전쟁에 참전한 이후, 제1·2차 세계대전, 6·25전쟁, 베트남 전쟁 등에 참전하였다. 호주군은 전쟁의 장기화로 나타난 군인의 사회적 인지도 하락과 지속적인 병력 부족 현상을 극복하기 위해 여성인력의 지위와 역할을 지속 확장하였다. 제2차 보어전쟁 간 의료지원으로 시작한 여성인력의 역할은 제2차 세계대전 시기 통신, 정비, 운전, 비밀문서 관리, 레이더 감시 등 전투 지원 임무로 확대되었다. 베트남 전쟁 이후 각 군 참모총장은 여성의 군 참여 확대를 위한 위원회를 설치하고 여성이 아닌 군인으로 인정하는 정책을 시행했다. 전쟁과 평화유지 활동에서 여성인력의 활약은 2014년, 특수부대를 포함한 모든 전투 직위가 여성에게 개방되는 계기가 되었고, 각 군은 2030년까지 여성 비율을 증가하는 계획을 수립하였다. 우리나라 역시 최근 지속되는 저출산문제로 인구절벽과 병력 가용자원 부족 문제가 대두되고 있는바 본 연구를 통해 호주군의 여성인력 활용의 역사와 현재의 모습을 통해 우리 군이 나아가야 할 방향에 대한 시사점을 도출하고자 한다.

  • This study focuses on Yusam, a military raincoat that was worn during the Joseon Dynasty. The purpose of this study is to review the types and management system of Yusam. Documentary records, paintings and relics were used as research materials. Yusam was recorded as either Yusam(油衫) or Yu-ui(油衣) in writing. It usually looked like a skirt and was worn like a cape, but there were differences in length. Some of them took the form of a short coat with half-sleeves and side slits. Research analysis results of Silrok, Ilseongrok and the archives of the military camp in the later Joseon are as follows: First, Mokyusam and Jiyusam coexisted as military raincoats. Mokyusam was made with cotton and perilla oil, while Jiyusam was made with traditional Korean paper, a cotton edging and perilla oil. Second, the differences between general Yusam and military Yusam include the material of the clothing, the materials for waterproofing, the color, and the manufacturer. Third, each military camp supplied soldiers with hundreds to thousands of Yusam. Military officers and King's guards wore Mokyusam because Mokyusam was higher than Jiyusam. Fourth, soldiers Yusam together with Yujeongeon, Chorip, Galmo, or Hwihang as a hat. Fifth, the higher the rank, the higher the price of Yusam and the longer the term of usage. On the other hand, as the rank got higher, the cost of the supplementary oil rose, while the duration of usage got shorter.

  • The cotton fabric armour for lower class soldiers can be found from the historical records of the mid-Joseon Korea. And the records show that the form and the structure of the armour was modified in the late 19th century in order to provide better protection from gunshots for the soldiers in the midst of the invasions from the West. This is a survey and research of the only artifact of the cotton fabric armour remaining in Korea - for its form, dimensions, and design. Using the historical records as reference, we can confirm the structure and characteristics of the cotton fabric armour of the Joseon period. This cotton fabric armour, preserved in National Museum of Korea, is a vest-type armour made of 30 layers of cotton. On the right shoulder, there is a button for tying knots and strings were tied under both armpits. On the surface of the cotton fabric armour there were some characters and patterns stamped in black. Presently, this artifact in Korea is the only specimen relic of its sort, but there are some other related relics in foreign countries including helmets and belts. Continuous researches would help extend the scope of armour study beyond the traditional researches that only focuses on the armours of the officials, thus helping us to understand the military costumes in traditional Korea.

  • Experts are concerned about the lack of troops and security vacuum due to the low birth rate in the Republic of Korea. They consider policies to expand the proportion and role of female soldiers to address these issues. In this regard, We would like to introduce the successful use of female personnel in the Ukrainian military and draw implications for the Korean military. This will provide a clue to offset the shortage of troops in the Republic of Korea.
