Are there any female soldiers in the Korean army?

1. Of course there are female soldiers in Korea. The recruitment of female soldiers in the Korean army began on 1968. At first, it was limited to medical rescue operations, and later began to recruit female soldiers from all arms. From 65438 to 0990, the Korean army began to recruit female soldiers according to the unified arms of men and women, and the deployment scope of female officers was expanded, and female soldiers entered the army artillery and air defense forces. In March 2004, female officers began to serve on ships, in June 2005, female helicopter pilots appeared, and in 2006, the first female combat force commander of the Marine Corps appeared.

According to some public information, there are about 750,000 regular troops in South Korea, but the proportion of female soldiers is very low. In 2065,438+04, there were about 9,000 female soldiers, and in 2065,438+00000, more than half of them were in the army. (Zhongxin. Com quoted Korean media as saying that the national government monitoring data submitted by South Korea's Ministry of National Defense showed that as of June 20 16, there were 10263 female soldiers in South Korea, including army 69 15, navy 1264, air force 1694 and marine corps 30. Among the female soldiers, there are 2 generals (brigadier generals), 823 school officers, 3,924 junior officers, 24 quasi-noncommissioned officers and 5,490 deputy noncommissioned officers. Among them, female officers account for 5.5% of all officers. )

Korean female soldiers receive gas bomb fumigation training.

(Korean female soldiers received a very uncomfortable "tear gas poisoning" training. Female soldiers were asked to wear gas masks and open several tear gas bombs in a closed space for fumigation. It is impossible for a gas mask to completely filter gas. The face and tears of the female soldiers involved have changed a lot, which is very uncomfortable. )

There are no literary and art soldiers in the Korean army at present. The official name of the former Korean literary and art soldiers was "Propaganda Support Team of the Ministry of National Defense", but due to the constant scandals, in July 20 13, South Korea announced the abolition of the literary and art soldier system. Since then, the relevant publicity and performance work has been completed by the temporary recruitment of folk artists by the army.

3. South Korea implements male compulsory military service. Male citizens between the ages of 20 and 30 must perform military service, and those who deliberately refuse to perform military service will be sentenced to imprisonment. Only those who are seriously ill or have made great contributions to the country can be exempted from military service. Women volunteer for military service. However, because of this, men's physical examination before service is relatively loose, and women's physical examination is strict, and few women can pass the physical examination (it is said that cosmetic surgery is considered unqualified). Training and daily life are extremely difficult during service, and the monthly allowance is only about 180 yuan.

At present, only Korean men give up Korean nationality in order to avoid military service, and no foreigners mainly ask for military service. According to the situation of East Asian countries, South Korea should not allow foreigners to enter the army. Foreigners go to South Korea for military service, and South Korea is worried that this is a North Korean spy.

Korean soldiers need to be prepared for war. South Korea and North Korea are still at war legally. At present, there is only a ceasefire agreement, and there is no peace agreement. Hot wars and conflicts may break out at any time. Moreover, as an ally of the US military, the Korean army is likely to go to Afghanistan, the Middle East and other hot spots to assist the US military (South Korea sent troops to Afghanistan in 2002, mainly to provide medical services and engage in civil and military engineering construction).
