ㅇNorth Korean Tactics

PART ONE—NORTH KOREAN FORCES

 

Chapter 1 describes the strategic environment, operational environments, and approaches to conflict.

It reviews North Korea’s history and political structure, then delves into the country’s military forces.

Topics covered include military principles; operational framework; concept of evolution and adaptation; planned actions to counter U.S. forces; and motivations, capabilities, and intent.  

 

Chapter 2 explains Korean People’s Army (KPA) actions within the framework of functional tactics.

It discusses the functional method and the terms, symbols, and control measures used to portray and govern North Korean military activities.

A description of action and enabling functions is given, along with common function types performed by action and enabling units.

The chapter concludes with a discussion of mission task execution.

 

Chapter 3 addresses North Korean force structure and command and control of formations.

It reviews KPA service component organizations, command and support relationships, and command and control of military forces.

A concise description of force structure at the tactical echelon addresses regular and irregular forces, with the former primarily at the tactical echelons of division, brigade, regiment, battalion, and company.

PART TWO—NORTH KOREAN ACTIONS

 

Chapter 4 describes the standardized execution of several fundamental tactical tasks based on conditions and situational cues during mission performance.

North Korean tactical drills common to reconnaissance and security, offensive, defensive, and counterstability actions can include―but are not limited to―actions on contact, situational breach, fixing, fire and maneuver, and breaking contact.

 

Chapter 5 describes how the KPA uses reconnaissance, intelligence, surveillance, and target acquisition as essential elements to successfully meet its reconnaissance and security requirements, and addresses the intelligence process.

The section on security provides information on how North Korea protects its military units from being surprised by the enemy.

Examples of reconnaissance and security organizational structures and the types of missions conducted by both types of units are found throughout the chapter.

 

Chapter 6 describes the KPAGF’s primary types of offensive actions at the tactical level.

The ground forces have six purposes for conducting offensive action and use seven different forms of maneuver in their attacks.

These maneuver forms can be used in conducting any type of offensive attacks—integrated, dispersed, and limited-objective attacks at the regimental and divisional level, or assaults, ambushes, raids, and reconnaissance attacks at battalion level and below.

 

Chapter 7 describes the KPAGF’s primary types of defensive actions at the tactical level.

The ground forces have two primary forms of defensive actions: mobile defense and area defense.

North Korean forces only go on the defense when necessary, and desire to return to the offense as soon as possible.

 

Chapter 8 describes North Korea’s counterstability actions, designed to counteract an enemy’s attempts to create a stable environment for the civilian population to live in and flourish.

These activities degrade and disrupt an enemy’s civil security, law enforcement, public services, infrastructure, and effective governance, and destroy enemy resolve to resist the eventual outcome of the unification of Korea under the Kim regime. 

 

Chapter 9 describes North Korea’s system to achieve informational and situational understanding advantages over an enemy. 

The country utilizes 11 different components, all of which are used in conjunction with combat operations. 

North Korea conducts electronic intelligence warfare to obtain information on its enemies, to deceive them, and to achieve effects against them. 

While much of this warfare is conducted above the tactical level on the battlefield, it affects ground forces at all levels.
