that most conspicuous the knife owned by the fence we formed plan is to consistency. when the previous administration i think that most of the music of national defence is very cautious. he and his teeth as we form a band of the aviary a quiz or even into quotation for the highlights to a little more deeper into this reform package for the number of trips to combine more than one hundred ten thousand by year twenty twenty two. could this mean they will see a shortage of soldiers and to maintain stability in the case of emergency. i think there is some sort to stand down i understand the key posts to worry about a reduction of the worst bill however i think that the reduction is not toys and meditate. due to the very lol while most weight of south korea. and of course so if we

want to modernize the armed forces sweetie to reduce the staff to strike in a private companies if they want me for him to come pristine you to cut down the personnel costs. so under the plan itself also plans to reorganize its frontline a net cord level units into central players in military operations. a what is that exactly mean in and says does this indicate that we expect a frontline conflict i think due to your knowledge the people actually use of military units. the deal was one day squad. and platoon company battalion regiment division four and army column is the highest actually in korea. he is commanded by forced us to know that we have two army commands in dili and the winds do. the plan of the ministry of national defense he is to come by in vitro army commands into one in the future. and the rain

redistribute the assets the army command so have have right now to the core commands. so it's the military more responsive more responsive and more flexible and think yes another notable change and reform package is thus also tops and a pro active deterrence strategy to the current act this a deterrence strategy know how babies to death for and will it prove effective in dealing with north korea's provocation. oh and armed forces to fall into that the only cool job options in case of north korean nuclear plant or nuclear attack is to pre emptive strike the nuclear weapons so we would lie to our purchase more be careful and just find a target in advance and a two strike and destroy the contents of a precisely well speaking of defense

spending the defense budget constraints that some people concerned the military wants to increase by seven point two percent a year but it's grown by about four point two percent he think we need to spend more on defense. i think you need me as a mission to france at that and you cry out to. and then you add it to council. some less so necessary process to go to all fall is all more urgent and demanding projects. right after poppy that upcoming university thank you very much for joining us this evening. it's my pleasure looking out to some other top stories on the global front from the ongoing search operations for a missing passenger jets is a fast moving developments in
