Military Armistice in Korea: A Case Study for Strategic Leaders
Abstract
The purpose of this research project is to show that the Korean War Armistice Agreement and the negotiations involved provide tremendous insight that is critical for military strategic leaders today. The Armistice Agreement has set the framework for the last 48 years of strategic relations between North Korea and South Korea as well as the United States and other countries in the region. At the highest levels of military leadership any input to the National Military Strategy or underlying National Security Strategy regarding Korea must be built on an understanding of the Armistice Agreement. At the mid to upper levels of military leadership an understanding of the lessons learned from the negotiations will significantly help officers faced with negotiation challenges in the future. I have proposed twelve lessons learned for the military officers that will face negotiations in the future. Analyzing the background of the Korean War, the Armistice Agreement and the lessons learned from the negotiations offers a clear view of the senior military leaders' interaction with the%senior political and diplomatic policy makers. It offers a tremendous opportunity to develop Strategic Leadership competencies.
