Abstract

In Korea, the birth rate is rapidly decreasing in the 21st century. Accordingly, if the current military service and personnel system are maintained, it will be difficult to maintain even the number of the Army reduced to 365,000. Nevertheless, the Army has a mission to protect the country from external aggression as the last bastion of national defense. To fulfill this mission, there are ways to improve the military service and personnel system, but there are ways to maximize individual combat power to create one warrior that is worth a hundred and overcome the insufficient number of troops through superior mobility to the enemy. This study studied how to solve the shortage of troops as well as strengthen combat power through a combined combat system that can maximize individual combat power and mobility by applying the latter concept, and further analyzed the future battle environment and suggested the developmental direction of the army's combined combat system.

우리나라는 21세기 들어 출생자 수가 급격히 감소하고 있다. 이것은 현행 병역제도와 인사제도를 유지한 상태로는 감축한 36.5만 명의 육군도 유지하기 어렵게 한다. 그럼에도 불구하고 육군은 국가방위 최후의 보루로서 외부의 침략으로부터 국토를 지켜야 할 사명이 있다. 이러한 사명을 다하기 위해서는 병역제도와 인사제도를 개선하는 방법도 있지만, 개인의 전투력을 극대화시켜 일당백의 용사를 만들고 적보다 우세한 기동력을 통해 부족한 병력 수를 극복하는 방안도 있다. 본 연구는 후자의 개념을 적용하여 개인전투력과 기동력을 극대화 할 수 있는 유·무인 복합전투체계를 통해 병력 부족의 해결은 물론, 전투력을 강화하는 방안을 연구하였으며 더 나아가 미래 전장환경을 분석하고 육군의 유·무인 복합전투체계의 발전적인 방향을 제시하여 작전수행 체계에 대한 시사점을 제공하는 것이다.
