Today’s technological advancements have altered the paradigm of war. “The Third Wave” has swept over society’s economic system, forcing its armed forces to change at every level not only technology but also organizational structure, doctrine, strategy, tactics, training, and logistics simultaneously. Under the guidance of the defense transformation paradigm, this paper explores roles that ROK(Republic of Korea) Ground Forces are expected to assume in the future and requirements that ROK Ground Forces have to meet to fulfill their responsibility. Based upon this analysis, some policy options for South Korean government are suggested. South Korea needs to concentrate her energy on defense transformation in a way that ROK Ground Forces can ensure five key elements for the future warfare: responsiveness, agility, lethality, survivability and sustainability.

Based upon this analysis, some policy options for South Korean government are suggested. South Korea needs to concentrate her energy on defense transformation in a way that ROK Ground Forces can ensure five key elements for the future warfare: responsiveness, agility, lethality, survivability and sustainability.
