북한의 비대칭전략에 대한 대응방안 연구

Abstract

This paper is about 2 incidents that can be determined to be the most asymmetric warfare strategies of North Korea in 2010, which are the R·O·K·S Cheonan sinking and the Bombardment of Yeonpyeong. With these two incidents as a basis, this study dissects the asymmetric warfare strategies of North Korea and examines the question, ‘what asymmetric warfare strategies can be implemented by the south Korea Army?’ For the past 60 years, North Korea continuously indulged in military attacks under military adventurism, and based on the result of losing naval battles in the West Sea and being neutralized 3 times at the NLL, the writer evaluates that their attempts from methodological point of view have evolved into more diverse, complex and innovative methods, and their attempts from an intensity level of provocation point of view have brown more and more bold and increasingly advanced. March 26th, 2010 is a tragic day in history when our forces realized the immense danger of the asymmetric warfare strategies of North Korea, which came at the huge cost of the R·O·K·S Cheonan sinking. Through the 3 previous naval battles, the military command of North Korea realized that it was not possible to dominate and destroy the military capacity of the Korean navy using symmetrical strategies to incapacitate them, so they ambushed the Cheonan ship using a method different from anything previous, and this attack had an immense far reaching impact on the politics, diplomacy, military and psychology of our society. Also North Korea has gained the position of posing a direct threat to the livelihood of South Korea through the development of nuclear weapons and diverse array of chemical weapons, and weaponization of submarines equipped with S·L·B·M that are capable of 2nd strikes, which have been assessed as having been completely developed, and in reality the threat of the asymmetric North Korea is increasing everyday through the continuing uncompromising military adventurism etc. of the combative Kim-Jung-eun administration. Therefore in this research, through the analysis of case studies of the asymmetrical strategies and tactics implemented by North Korea, by predicting the next provocation, the author attempts to present level guidelines that can effectively prevent these provocations.
