 Comparative military ranks of Korea - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Comparative military ranks of Korea refer to the ranks and insignia maintained by the three primary military powers on the Korean Peninsula, those being the South Korean military, the armed forces of North Korea, and the military forces of the United States.
Most ranks of South and North Korea are identical, with some exceptions including some supreme North Korean ranks which have no equivalent in South Korea or the United States.
The rank is denoted by a gold collar pip and, in the case of the ROK Navy, a broken sleeve stripe.

 Korea, South Introduction - Flags, Maps, Economy, Geography, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, International ...
Korea also served as one of several cultural bridges between its two regional neighbors, taking pride in passing along advanced Chinese political, philosophical, religious, and literary ideas and models to what Koreans consistently perceived as a less well- developed Japan.
At the turn of the century, Korea was the object of two wars as China and Japan in turn fought to maintain footholds on the peninsula and to exclude a Russia keenly interested in Korea's warm-water ports.
As South Korea's comparative advantage in labor became increasingly subject to challenge from developing economies in Asia and elsewhere, however, planners looked to even greater social investment in high technology fields, such as materials science, biotechnology, electronics, and aerospace, and to an economy that would become technology-intensive sometime during the 1990s.

In addition to military expenditures, armed forces, and arms transfers, which serve as absolute measures of military effort, it is useful at times to compare these measures to other variables to obtain relative indicators of military effort.
Use of the ME/CGE ratio as a measure of military effort is limited in this edition by the lack of 1994 central government expenditures data for countries of Subsaharan Africa and Central Asia, resulting in aggregate data not being available for those regions and the developing and world totals.
Military expenditures per member of the armed forces (ME/AF) is a different kind of relative indicator.

 Lieutenant General -   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-10)
Lieutenant General is a military rank used in almost every country in the world.
The rank traces its origins to the Middle Ages where the title of Lieutenant General was held by the second in command on the battlefield, normally subordinate to a Captain General.
The oddity in precedence, where a Lieutenant General outranks a Major General whereas a Major would normally outrank a Lieutenant, is caused by the rank of Major General previously having been known as Sergeant Major General, which was in turn subordinate to Lieutenant General.
