editSummary
editStudents who have stopped their studies and fought with enemies as soldiers in times of war or confrontation.[1]
Explanation of Student Soldier
editA student of a student of soldier is represented by a high school student and a boy below. In a narrow sense, it often refers only to students who were forced to join the Japanese occupation period and Korean war. It is common in modern society for students (undergraduates), especially high school students and younger students, not to have special status, but to draft because they are mostly teenage boys. If they were lost, it is high-lose. However, in an emergency situation, students were drafted into the army and made into soldiers and engaged in the battle. In this way, students who have not been subject to conscription because of their educational background are called to join the military by support when the state is in an emergency situation.[2]
Student Soldier in Korean War
editIt was the first time that the student soldier was organized because they had gathered in Suwon to organize the 'Emergency Student Soldier' in Suwon.[3] Some of them were wearing rifles and ammunition with their uniforms as they were, and they entered the Korean army unit, which was guarding the Han river from June 29, 1950, to participate in the battle.[4] However, the Ministry of National Defense has made most of the student soldier responsible for the rear-end missions, including refugee relief, bulletin reports and street propaganda.[5] Many students were not satisfied with their mission in the rear, but they supported individual enlistment, and the rest asked students to authorize the Ministry of National Defense to form a battle unit with the school only. However, the Ministry of National Defense's high - ranking officials insisted on pursuing the guidance of the Ministry of Defense while retaining the participation of the academics who will bear the future of the nation. The evacuation academics who came to Daejeon on July 14th and the local academics organized themselves again.[6]
The students individually supported the local enlistment and served as soldiers of the Armed Forces. A number of female students were also appointed as nurses.[7] The student soldiers went down to Daegu and were once again organized into 10 divisions of the armed forces and their subordinate units.[8] The student soldiers established a great majors in the Nakdong River Defense Line, which was the last fortress, without a class.[9] About 700 of them were transferred to UN troops in Busan in mid-July. After graduating, they went to Japan and went on a regular operation in Incheon Landing Operation on September 15th.[10] In addition, the 22nd and 26th Regions of the Third Division of the Korea Army, and the 15th Regiment of the First Division of the Korea army, filled the majority of the recruits with the student soldier from the middle of July.[11] In the beginning of August, the 25th generation newly formed army in Daegu also filled most of the troops with student soldier.
In early August, about 1,500 students from the army headquarters of the Army headquarters in Daegu soon joined the Korean Armed Forces in Milyang.[12] They penetrated the enemy's rear area and deployed guerrilla warfare. Among them, the 1st Battalion was put into landing operation in Yeongdeok District, Gyeongsangbuk-do, and 100 victims were killed.[13] The 2nd, 3rd and 5th battalions were put into Taebaek mountain range from early October and cleared the enemy who flew away.[14] After that, it was put into Honam district again from December, and the residue was swept away.[15] The school graduates also accomplished a great deal by carrying out pre-emptive activities for the residents in the vulnerable area south of the 38th and 38th in the restoration area, where frequent visits to spies were frequent.
As the army crossed the 38th parallel, the academics of the restoration area also supported the operation of the armed forces through various organizations themselves. They were grouped together with a 1.4 retreat and continued in the name of the school militia, and many of them enlisted as regular army troops, numbering about 4,000.[16] On the other hand, approximately 700 Korean-Japanese students of Japan were also raised to rescue their homeland. They joined the United Nations forces and participated in the battle, with 59 killed and 95 missing
In March 1951, when the ROK forces and UN troops restrained the tactics of the Chinese army and restored the balance and stability of the front lines, the people who came down to find refugees also began to return to their hometowns to regain their jobs. President Lee Seung-man announced that the young students who will bear the future of the nation should return to the academy urgently to continue their studies. The Ministry of Education issued the following instructions to the students scattered across the country.[17]
① All student soldier will return to their original school
② School authorities will accept unconditional restitution if the military service of the school is canceled due to military service
③ The military and other schools will be returning from military service
④ The students who missed the grade promotion of military uniforms will accept grade promotion according to their wishes.
