and technology force by promoting Defense Reform 2.0 and smart defense
innovation. We are reorganizing the structure of our Armed Forces into an
advanced science and technology-based elite unit structure suitable for the
future battlefield and an operations and combat-focused personnel structure
while actively implementing advanced technology of the Fourth Industrial

Revolution, including drones, artificial intelligence and robots into the
field of defense. Going forward, we will construct formidable military
power, which will lead the future by building defense capabilities based on
technological development.

In addition, in order to create a content national defense environment

and transform into a force trusted by the people, we are firmly establishing
a fair, transparent and efficient national defense management structure
and embedding an inclusive culture within our Armed Forces. We are
establishing a transparent, efficient national defense management structure
through the expansion of public participation, transparency in defense
projects, and enhancement of the defense industry’s competitiveness.
Furthermore, we are actively promoting policies to enhance the convenience

for the people, such as relocation of military airbases and creation of military
facilities that coexist with local communities. In addition, we are building
a "force that stands alongside and is trusted by the people" by dramatically
improving the service conditions for servicemembers and the military
medical system, and by preparing support measures capable of embracing
discharged servicemembers and veterans.
