It is urgent to design and prepare a new Korean military service system based on the conscription system but expands the characteristics of the voluntary system.

초록

The discussion on the Korean military service system is the most controversial topic ahead of the Presidential election of March 2022 in the Republic of Korea. The change of the military service system has been discussed continuously in diverse backgrounds and contexts as it has a profound influence on the military and national society. The academic discussions on improving the military service system are generally divided into two options: transitioning to the All-Volunteer Military Service (AVMS) and maintaining the conscription service. However, discussions on the military service system are largely stagnant at the ideological and economic levels rather than rational ones. This study seeks ways to improve the ROK military service system facing the demographic cliff phenomenon beyond dichotomous thinking of the conscription service and the AVMS. The future military service system should lead the military structure innovation toward a technology-intensive army through reorganizing the military structure and reshaping the defense manpower system. Furthermore, the new Korean military system needs a change and innovation to secure national growth power in the low-birth and hyper-aging demographic cliff era. It is urgent to design and prepare a new Korean military service system based on the conscription system but expands the characteristics of the voluntary system.
