The Neo-Korean Ground Forces are the land warfare component of the Neo-Korean State, comprised of 605,000 soldiers, the body's attached logistical staff, and a currently unknown number of reserve soldiers. It is the largest branch of the Neo-Korean Military, owing to the many land-based neighbors possessed by Neo-Korea.
The NKGF, in both organization and strategy, is based primarily on the experiences of the KDS in the Great War, alongside the conflict between the remnants of such in the Korean Civil War, although to a lesser degree it also traces its legacy to Kaesong's own military. The NKGF is not subordinate to any body excluding the State as a whole, with this independence derived from the compromises made to assured the support of certain military officials during the civil war, alongside general disregard of such by the primarily military-associated ruling figures of the early period of Neo-Korea's existence. This change has lead to persistent rivalries germinating amongst all three branches, with sometimes severe effects, such as the Great Mutiny which shattered the Neo-Korean Navy being to some degree a result of the Ground Forces desiring control over such affairs, and thus launching a failed assassination attempt on admiral Ohara Satoru
The Ground Forces are a pseudo-professional force, with "proper" conscription (excluding the 2-year period of membership and training as a member of the reserve_ being rarely invoked, with the flow of new individuals into the military being fairly common and stable. The Ground Forces are primarily designed around defensive operations- either in their own territory or on behalf of an associated power, lacking offensive expeditionary capabilities. It is de jure controlled by the Paramount Leader/Generalissimus of All Korea, but is operated on the day-to-day by the Field Colonel General of the Northern State Army.
History
Organization
The Ground Forces are comprised on-paper entirely of active-duty forces, with the reserve soldiers being counted as members of the general Neo-Korean Force Reserve system and thus shared (once again, on-paper) with the airforce and navy. These active-duty forces are split in a roughly 3:2:1 fashion in regards to the number of Motorized/Light, Mechanized, and Armor groupings (alongside associated logistical staff) respectively. Not incorporated into this distribution are the Neo-Korean Coastal Defense Forces which, while under the NKGF, are generally crewed by a share of the reserve forces the NKGF are granted instead of by active-duty members.
