A Proposal of Logistics Development for Republic of Korea Army.

Abstract

The main objective of this research is to propose some directions concerning logistics development for the Republic of Korea Army (ROKA). In particular, it concerns modern concepts such as integrated logistics support (ILS). Traditionally, Korean logistics has been treated as secondary. But, in the current situation, attention must be placed on Logistics. This thesis introduces historical and geographical circumstances of the Korean peninsula and appraises military problems, especially logistics. It compares South and North Korea's military powers and then analyzes the relationship between ROK and US. It proceeds with setting the concept of modern military logistics and explaining some ILS aspect concretely, It gives insights to logistics in the system life cycle including approaches to the cost-side as well as to effectiveness, For the decision-maker, the life cycle cost (LCC) model should be considered during the acquisition cycle to assure proper logistics development. Keywords: Environment, Relationship, Military Power, Uncertainty, Evolution, Cost-Effectiveness, and Cost Estimating.
