are managed by servicemembers and civilian military employees in each unit, who
are rather unprofessional, which results in inefficient management. Cognizant of the
need for efficient and professional facility management to maintain the quality and
ensure the long-term use of the residential facilities, the MND is currently seeking to
promote integrated management for each region through outsourcing to the private
sector. To this end, the MND launched a pilot program for the consigned
management of residential facilities in the 1st Corps region in January 2018, and
converted approximately 30,000 households to consigned management by 2019.
Also, the MND is gradually expanding consigned management of residential
facilities. In October 2018, to ensure the proper maintenance and repair of facilities,
the MND established the "standards of responsibilities for repairing military
residential facilities" to clarify the distribution of repair responsibilities between the
state and individuals. By maintaining residential facilities in good condition through
acceptable budget and responsibility distribution, the MND will continue to make
efforts to help servicemembers and their family members live in a more pleasant
environment.
