RCT (Realistic Combat Training) can be used for the enhancement of the individual performance. It also brings about the improvement in the unit evaluations. It is also used for the honing of the readiness of the combat as well as for providing challenging and interesting training to the North Korean Army. RCT also helps in the improvement of the results of the SQT (Skill Qualification Test) as well as that of the ARTEP (Army training and evaluation program). The manual has been prepared on the basis of the OPFOR (Opposing Force of the United States Army) program. This has been designed for the use of the military commanders, the training managers along with the commanders. This can be regarded as a training reference that can help in the identification of the North Korean country as a potential rival or adversary of the United States. In the description of this potential adversary, the information regarding the North Korean Army has been provided about the military forces as well as about the entire nation. The information also includes the strategic as well as tactical organization, doctrines, equipment and weapons. It also contains the notional OB (order of battle) that could be suitable for the various unclassified exercises as well as simulations.

Despite frequent predictions of imminent collapse, the Democratic People’s Republic of North Korea continues to pose a threat to South Korea. The armed forces continue to be the core of the regime, deploying formidable paramilitary and internal security forces against its own people, maintaining a wide network of intelligence services throughout the region and developing an arsenal of weapons of mass destruction. The Armed Forces of North Korea provides a detailed account of the links between the regime and the forces, and then describes each wing: air, naval, ground forces, paramilitary, internal security, and intelligence reviews.

Civil-military relations is one of the most challenging dimensions to deal with regarding North Korea. Since 1998, Pyongyang's foremost policy has been declared as "military-first." While experts debate the precise meaning and significance of this policy, considerable consensus exists that it gives the leading role to the Korean People's Army (KPA). Hence, military leaders in the Democratic People's Republic of Korea are very powerful and influential figures. Who are they? What kind of power and influence do these leaders wield, and how do they exert it? How do KPA leaders interact with dictator Kim Jong Il and their civilian counterparts? Mr. Ken Gause sets out to answer these questions in this monograph.

North Korea is a country of paradoxes and contradictions. Although it remains an economic basket case that cannot feed and clothe its own people, it nevertheless possesses one of the world's largest armed forces. Whether measured in terms of the total number of personnel in uniform, numbers of special operations soldiers, the size of its submarine fleet, quantity of ballistic missiles in its arsenal, or its substantial weapons of mass destruction programs, Pyongyang is a major military power.
