	Republic of Korea Air Force - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The Republic of Korea Air Force (ROK Air Force, ROKAF, Hangul: 대한민국 공군, Hanja: 大韓民國空軍) is the air force of South Korea.
		Air Force logistics Command was established in 1966, and emergency runways were constructed for emergency use during wartime.
		The Republic of Korea Air Force later issued a public statement saying that the accident was apparently caused by both crew members entering a state of g-loc that lasted 16 seconds and resulted in loss of control of the aircraft.

		The ROKAF will be receiving the aircraft, the E-737 AEW, in two installments with the first one arriving on the peninsula in 2011 and the rest in 2012.
		Most recently, the issue of South Korea's participation in the PSI was brought up in a meeting between South Korean lawmakers and the Republic of Korea Navy (ROKN), during which time Uri lawmakers raised questions regarding the ROKN's preparedness for participation in the PSI.
		As for North Korea, the country with the most capable nuclear and ballistic missile programs of the three countries, it appears to have been left in the back-burner with Bush administration officials tirelessly justifying inaction with their claim that breaching agreements cannot be rewarded with further diplomacy.

	Recasting the Viability of a Small Ally's Airpower: South Korea in Focus (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Given the intrinsic nature of mission deficiencies in South Korea’s rifleman-intensive force composition, the overall combat readiness of its military forces is lacking in force viability (i.e., survivability, mobility, lethality, and maneuverability).
		The ROKAF’s efforts to enhance lethality by increasing its stocks of precision-guided munitions (PGM) are hampered by budgetary constraints arising from the burden of maintaining an excessive number of infantry troops.
		South Korean citizens residing in the vicinity of air bases surrounded by sprawling "concrete jungles" are constantly exposed to perennial noise pollution and the danger of possible accidents involving fighter aircraft carrying bombs.

		The ROKAF was caught at the early stage of its formation; in fact Kimpo was the only air base it had available and none of the five airfields that were under speedy construction was ready by the start of the hostilities.
		Corruption was rampant in Korea and the U.S. simply accepted it as the way things were done in the "oriental cultures." It could have made a significant input as it was providing 100 percent of Korea's GNP during the early years of Korea's government.
		As Korea in the years after the war was desperately poor, they relied heavily on US aid and materials to build their organization.

		For South Korea, the acquisition is seen a step toward military independence from the U.S, which has stationed large conventional forces in South Korea since a truce with the communist dictatorship in North Korea ended the 1950-53 Korean War.
		When Korea E-X was launched in February 2004, ROK officials said they hoped to detect and track North Korean troop movements and no longer have to rely on U.S. surveillance aircraft based in Okinawa.
		ROKAF AEWandC aircraft could also supplant South Korean ground radars, which North Korea would be expected to destroy in the opening phases of an attack.

	A DECISIVE PRESENCE: The United States Air Force in the Korean War (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09)
		Shortly after American and Soviet forces were withdrawn, the Communist North Korean People’s Army staged the invasion of South Korea that began the three-year conflict often referred to as “the Forgotten War,” a lethal combination of communist aggression, ancient rivalry, and United States “containment” policy.
		The 3rd Air Rescue Squadron used H-5 and H-19 helicopters to move front-line casualties to nearby mobile army surgical hospitals or MASH units (made famous by the novel, movie, and television series of the same name), thereby increasing casualty survival rates.
		The air war in Korea pioneered SHORAN night radar-controlled bombing, which was later used extensively in the Vietnam conflict, and the first combat employment of in-flight refueling.
