3. Reinforcing a Realistic Unit Training

| Unit training | Under the objective of fostering strong combatants and combat units
that f ight and defeat enemies, the MND is pursuing projects to introduce scientific training

equipment and acquire scientif ic training area to ensure the right conditions for a realistic unit
training in each service.
Chapter 3
The ROK Armed Forces has been adopting scientif ic training equipment because of

the transformation of military strength to a qualitative and technology-intensive structure
necessitated by the reduction of troops as well as constraints 36) on education and training
environments. The ROK Armed Forces has adopted training systems that utilize training
equipment incorporating advanced science and technology, and continue to expand training

and exercises using such systems. Advanced training equipment include the Multiple Integrated
Laser Engagement System (MILES 37) ), Tank Multipurpose Simulator (TMPS), submarine

anti–ship simulation training equipment, Air Combat Maneuvering Instrumentation (ACMI),
and Electronic Warfare Training System (EWTS).
In parallel with the adoption of scientif ic training
equipment, the ROK Armed Forces is building scientific

training centers to ensure that the environment for
realistic training is focused on combat missions. The
Army is setting up corps- and division-level scientific

centers while organizing training sites by region and
consolidating the training sites of military camps. The
