The 1953/54 treaty, US wartime command arrangements as a dated legal-political fact, and a long argument about OPCON transition -- history of a bargain, not a present command diagram. Park-era modernisation, HCI plants, ADD, K1 then K2, K9, Chang Bogo submarines, a later KF-21 project as industrial politics. Hanwha and other chaebols are the works file.
12.12 and 5.18 are military-politics files -- see korea-1979 -- not a force-structure how-to and not a praise song for Park. Kim Dae-jung and Roh Moo-hyun defence-reform talk, later administration reversals, conscription-length politics, and a 2020s export weather that must not be confused with a live ORBAT. This page stays historical.

Reform decades stays dated: 1950-09-15 (Inchon) in The Korean peninsula as a defensive frontier; Vietnam as a 1960s-70s expedition; later UN and Gulf-era deployments as footnotes. Sohn Won-yil (ROKN founder) is a named witness -- The navy's civic founding name -- a maritime half English Korea books skip.
The ROK military is a 1948 institution that survived 1950 by alliance, then spent Yulgok trying not to be only an alliance appendix -- a political history of a defensive force. A 1948 force that 1950 almost ended, Yulgok rebuilt as industry, and a treaty still structures -- as history.
