    DEFENSE WHITE PAPER Message from the Minister of National Defense The year 2010 marked the 60th anniversary of the outbreak of the Korean War. Since the end of the war, the Republic of Korea has made such great strides and its economy now ranks among the 10-plus largest economies in the world. Out of the ashes of the war, it has risen from an aid recipient to a donor nation. Korea’s economic miracle rests on the strength and commitment of the ROK military. However, the threat of war and persistent security concerns remain undiminished on the Korean Peninsula. North Korea is threatening peace with its recent surprise attack against the ROK Ship CheonanDQGLWV¿ULQJRIDUWLOOHU\DW<HRQS\HRQJ Island. The series of illegitimate armed provocations by the North have left a fragile peace on the Korean Peninsula. Transnational and non-military threats coupled with potential conflicts among Northeast Asian countries add another element that further jeopardizes the Korean Peninsula’s security. To handle security threats, the ROK military has instituted its Defense Vision to foster an ‘Advanced Elite Military,’ which will realize the said Vision. As part of the efforts, the ROK military complemented the Defense Reform Basic Plan and has UHYDPSHGLWVZHDSRQSURFXUHPHQWDQGDFTXLVLWLRQV\VWHP,QDGGLWLRQLWKDVUHYDPSHGWKHHGXFDWLRQDOV\VWHPIRURI¿FHUVZKLOH strengthening the current training system by extending the basic training period and by taking other measures. The military has also endeavored to invigorate the defense industry as an exporter so the defense economy may develop as a new growth engine for the entire Korean economy. To reduce any possible inconveniences that Koreans may experience, the military has reformed its defense rules and regulations to ease the standards necessary to designate a Military Installation Protection Zone.

World War II Before taking up the basic subject of the discussion which follows, it would appear appropriate to ascertain just what events led to the creation of two such disparate independent nations as the Republic of Korea (hereinafter referred to as South Korea) and the Democratic People’s Republic of Korea (hereinafter referred to as North Korea) out of what had been a united territory for centuries, whether independent or as the possession of a more powerful neighbor, Japan — and the background of how the hostilities were initiated in Korea in June 1950.

  • A Visit to Panmunjom
    NOT FOR PUBLICATION WITHOUT WRITER'S CONSENT INSTITUTE OF CURRENT WORLD AFFAIRS SBB-7 Boogak Mansion 1-203 Pyungchang Dong C hungno Ku Seoul ii0, Korea March 5, 1984 A Visit to Panmunj om Mr. Peter Bird Martin, Director Institute of Current World Affairs 4 West Wheelock St. Hanover, N.H. 03755 Dear Peter, I took a day off my Korean-language study routine a few weeks ago and signed up for a trip with one of the local tour companies. It was my first indulgence in tourism since I've been here, and I'm glad I took the time off for some fun and relaxation. Korea must be the only country in the world where for just $25 you can tour a war zone. Every weekday at 9:40 a bus leaves from the downtown tourist hotels and drives north along the Munsan Corridor (the classic invasion route to Seoul), about 29 miles, to Panmunjom, often called "truce village," which is in the middle of the Demilitarized Zone. "You are on the spot.'" boasts one brochure. "This is the one place in the world where you can freely cross over to the communist-held area and return just as freely. Tourists are permitted to take pictures." The photo for this caption, however, was recently bumped in a new brochure for a shot of "The Third Tunnel of Aggression," which has been added to the itinerary. The picture shows two South Korean soldiers in the tunnel, which runs under the DMZ from North Korea, posing as though sweeping the tunnel with metal detectors, while a couple of their buddies point rifles into the camera.

    Within Limits The U.S. Air Force and the Korean War Wayne Thompson and Bernard C. Nalty Air Force History and Museums Program 1996 i Within Limits The U.S. Air Force and the Korean War Despite American success in preventing the conquest of South Korea by communist North Korea, the Korean War of 1950-1953 did not satisfy Americans who expected the kind of total victory they had experienced in World War II. In that earlier, larger war, victory over Japan came after two atomic bombs destroyed the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki. But in Korea five years later, the United States limited itself to conven- tional weapons. Even after communist China entered the war, Americans put China off-limits to convention- al bombing as well as nuclear bombing. Operating within these limits, the U.S. Air Force helped to repel two invasions of South Korea while securing control of the skies so decisively that other United Nations forces could fight without fear of air attack. ii Invasion Before dawn on Sunday, June 25, 1950, communist North Korea attacked South Korea, storming across the improvised border that divided the peninsula into two countries. Some five years earlier, when Japan surrendered, the United States had proposed that American forces disarm Japanese forces in Korea south of the 38th parallel and Soviet troops perform the same task north of that line. Once the Japanese had been disarmed and repatriated, Korea was at last to become independent after almost fifty years of domination by Japan. This scenario depended on continued cooperation between the Soviet Union and the United States, but the wartime alliance soon collapsed.

  • Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ)
    Department-General of Policy and Foreign Affairs Research Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) 2011 The North Korean side of the Demilitarized zone DMZ North The military demarcation line (MDL) of separation between the belligerent sides at the close of the Korean war forms North Korea's boundary with South Korea. A demilitarized zone (DMZ) extends for 2,000 meters (just over 1 mile) on either side of the MDL. Both the North and South Korean Governments hold that the MDL as only a temporary administrative line, not a permanent border. The Korean Demilitarized Zone (DMZ) is an area of land encompassing 4 kilometers- wide strip of land straddling the 151 mile long Military Demarcation Line (MDL). The 27 July 1953 Armistice Agreement established the DMZ along the approximate line of ground contact between the opposing forces at the time the truce ended the Korean War. The opposing sides agreed under the Armistice Agreement from entering the territory, air space or contiguous waters under control of the other. Even though North Korea committed violations at sea and in the air, and infiltrated armed agents along South Korea's extensive coastline and outlying islands, it is in and along the DMZ that most Armistice violations have occurred.

  • Ki-Moon Lee, S. Robert Ramsey, a History of the Korean Language
    This page intentionally left blank A History of the Korean Language A History of the Korean Language is the first book on the subject ever published in English. It traces the origin, formation, and various historical stages through which the language has passed, from Old Korean through to the present day. Each chapter begins with an account of the historical and cultural background. A comprehensive list of the literature of each period is then provided and the textual record described, along with the script or scripts used to write it. Finally, each stage of the language is analyzed, offering new details supplementing what is known about its phonology, morphology, syntax, and lexicon. The extraordinary alphabetic materials of the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries are given special attention, and are used to shed light on earlier, pre-alphabetic periods. ki-moon lee is Professor Emeritus at Seoul National University. s. robert ramsey is Professor and Chair in the Department of East Asian Languages and Cultures at the University of Maryland, College Park.
