Južnokorejska vojska nastaje 1948. godine, nakon podjele Korejskog
poluotoka na južni, pod Američkom okupacijom i sjeverni pod Sovjetskom.
To je jedna od najbrojnijih vojski u svijetu. 2008. godine je imala
prijavljeno 3.695.000 pripadnika, od toga 655.000 u aktivnom sastavu i
3.040.000 u redovnoj rezervi. Odnedavno se pripadnici južnokorejske
vojske uključuju u međunarodne mirovne i protuterorističke misije,
potvrđujući time svoju ulogu i odgovornost u svijetu, budući su
petnaesta ekonomska sila u svijetu. Glavnokomadujućim se smatra
Predsjednik Republike, koji vojskom upravlja preko Ministra odbrane,
koji je uobičajeno (ali to nije zakonski određeno tako) penzionirani
general ili admiral visokog ranga. |

Created in 1948, following the division of the Krean Peninsula by
occupying Soviet and U.S. forces, the Republic of Korea Armed Forces is
one of the largest standing armed forces in the world with a reported
personnel strength of 3,695,000 in 2008 (655,000 active force and
3,040,000 regular reserve). More recently the ROK military began
increasing its participation in international affairs, acknowledging its
role and responsibility as the fifteenth economic power in the world in
terms of GDP. The ROK military has participated in various peacekeeping
operations, and counter-terrorism operations. The President is the
Commander-in-Chief of the Armed Forces ex officio. The military authority
runs from the President to the Minister of Defense, who is commonly (but
not legally bound to be) a retired 4-star General or Admiral. |
