North Korean Special Forces
North Korea has always had an interest in unconventional warfare due to Kim Il Sung's start as a communist guerilla fighting the Japanese occupying what was then known as Manchuria. Korean doctrine focuses on the combination of conventional and unconventional forces to fight enemy forces not only on the front line but deep behind it. Doing so decreases the effectiveness of enemy soldiers at the front and saps frontline strength when additional soldiers are sent to the rear to search for these groups.

North Korean Special Forces' missions include reconnaissance, cutting of communications lines, ambush & destruction of supply lines, assault and destruction of enemy command posts and airfields, and kidnapping/assasination of political and military leaders. They would infiltrate behind lines by a variety of methods, including tunnels dug under the DMZ, airplanes or small submarines & boats operating off of the long coastline. Additionally, units may be attacked with attacking US bases located in Japan, normally outside of the range of North Korean forces.

Recent reports indicate that North Korea has been expanding its special operations forces over the last couple of years. As of early 2003 they are thought to have 23 SOF brigades and 18 smaller battalions, totalling between 100-120,000 soldiers. These units fall under one of three classifications; reconnaissance, light infantry, and sniper.

Reconnaissance units operate in small teams behind enemy lines locating and pinpointing targets. This may be done to mark them for destruction or to ascertain enemy intentions and movements. These units have operated in South Korea and have tangled with South Korean counter-terrorism units in the past. One publicized incident involved a special submarine from the 1st flotilla of the 22nd Squadron which ran aground with a team of three commandos and twenty-one Navy crew members. In this incident, starting early the morning of September 19, 1996, one of the North Korean commandos was captured and the rest of the crew killed, either by South Korean soldiers and police or by each other. Reports estimate that there are around 7,000 reconnaissance soldiers spread amongst the 17 reconnaissance battalions in existance.

Light Infantry Units serve as rapid strike forces and are trained to move quickly across any type of terrain regardless of weather conditions. These units act in company or battalion-sized forces and could be considered similar to US Army Rangers in their mission scope. If available, light airborne infantry will insert via helicopter or parachute. There are reportedly 11,000 soldiers in the three Light Infantry Airborne Brigades and roughly 32,000 in the Light Infantry Battalions. Light Infantry Battalions are tasked with responding to enemy forces operating behind their lines, either small groups or beach landings such as the Inchon landing in the Korean War.

Sniper units are similar to the light infantry units but they operate in smaller teams. Sniper teams would be heavily used before hostilities broke out due to the ease of infiltration. Besides the Army sniper brigades, there are also Amphibious and Air Force Sniper Brigades. The Amphibious Sniper Brigades would infiltrate either by boat or submarine and would attack targets such as military bases and ports, and infrastructure like nuclear power plants and industrial centers. Air Force Sniper Brigades would attack airports and airbases as well as air traffic control centers, and air defenses. There are at least ten sniper brigades totalling some 35,000 soldiers.; 21,000 in the six regular sniper brigades and 7,000 each in the Amphibious and Air Force units.

North Korean Spy Operations

N Korea maintains a large army of special forces - some 120,000 men strong. These units are designated as the Special Purpose Forces (SPF) by the US CIA (and military). The primary missions of SPF are:

* Elimination of enemy nuclear, chemical. and command , control, communication and intelligence assets.
* Seizure of major military targets - airfield, naval bases, port facilities, storage facilities, and missile sites in rear-areas.
* Interdiction, seizure and control of enemy lines of communication.
* Interdiction of reinforcements and supplies for enemy forces deployed along the DMZ (demilitarized zone), and in advance/support of regular ground forces.
* Assaults against major fortified defensive positions.
* Reconnaissance and intelligence operations.
* Paramilitary warfare and special operations.
* Capture of chemical, nuclear warfare and missile assets.
* The assassination of enemy political leaders.
* The assassination or abduction of senior military commanders.
* Raids against US 5th Air Force airfields in Japan [Miasma and Yokosawa) and on the island of Okinawa (Kadena AFBJ and conceivably against military installations in US proper.
* Intelligence and special operations (including "direct action") beyond the Korean Peninsula.
* Internal security operations within N Korea.
* Military training to friendly governments and organizations (i.e. Iran, Iraq, Zimbabwe, PLO, Japanese Red Brigades, etc.).

The Special Purpose Forces are in actuality made of a number of independent regular and irregular units reporting to several control organs. The president is the top man of the pyramid. The Korean Workers Party Central Committee, the Central People's Committee and the Political Security Dept. are the second-tier organs.

hehehe, which only means one thing: BUSH and CO. are only interested in OIL and don't really give a rat's ass about the Weapons of Mass Destruction.

[boxingfan529]

bush and co. can't afford another war that would be very unpopular to the americans. they will just use sanctions and other legal means approved by the security council.

but they are now in a tight spot... if they dont attack iran, iran will start selling their oil in EUROS, which will greatly affect the US economy... this is exactly what Saddam did before the US attacked them...


Candidly stated, ‘Operation Iraqi Freedom’ was a war designed to install a pro-U.S. government in Iraq, establish multiple U.S military bases before the onset of global Peak Oil, and to reconvert Iraq back to petrodollars while hoping to thwart further OPEC momentum towards the euro as an alternative oil transaction currency (i.e. “petroeuro”).[3] However, subsequent geopolitical events have exposed neoconservative strategy as fundamentally flawed, with Iran moving towards a petroeuro system for international oil trades, while Russia evaluates this option with the European Union.


....Concerning Iran, recent articles have revealed active Pentagon planning for operations against its suspected nuclear facilities. While the publicly stated reasons for any such overt action will be premised as a consequence of Iran's nuclear ambitions, there are again unspoken macroeconomic drivers underlying the second stage of petrodollar warfare – Iran's upcoming oil bourse. (The word bourse refers to a stock exchange for securities trading, and is derived from the French stock exchange in Paris, the Federation Internationale des Bourses de Valeurs.)

In essence, Iran is about to commit a far greater “offense” than Saddam Hussein's conversion to the euro for Iraq’s oil exports in the fall of 2000. Beginning in March 2006, the Tehran government has plans to begin competing with New York's NYMEX and London's IPE with respect to international oil trades – using a euro-based international oil-trading mechanism.
