On September 9, 2016, North Korea conducted their fifth nuclear test signaling
nearly successful completion of their nuclear weapons program. This imposition is
a life and death situation for South Korea due to the opposing position with North
Korea who is directly acrossed the Demilitarization Zone. In order to overcome
this security threat, what military strategy does South Korea need to develop?
Based on this questions a study has been conducted to answer the concern.
The methodology for resolving the question produced numerous propositions:
First, what military strategy is needed and what elements should be included?
Second, which elements of the military strategy produce and impact on the
decisions? Third, based on the current North Korean nuclear aggression, what kind
of military strategy should South Korea choose? Forth, once chosen, what are the
implementation plans for success? These four propositions were studied thoroughly.
As mentioned above, in order to overcome this security threat, how can South
Korea plan a military strategy. The choice of the best military strategy alternative
that South Korea can choose from has reached the conclusion of the offensive
strategy and Alliance deterrence strategy.
