NGOs have had an effect on many problems in communities and their influence has been gradually increasing. The issues of national defense and security can not be exceptions for the activities of NGOs and, as we know, a significant number of public organizations are critical to existing governmental policies on national security and defense. With respect to national defense, NGO activities show that they are becoming new components in the environment of national defense. That is, their perspectives and activities, with regard to national defense and security, have worked as major factors in the national and international environment of national defense. In the field of national defense, NGO influence has, in the past, been insignificant because of special conditions of national division in comparison with those conditions in social areas, but recently, there has been a lot of activity with respect to the reinforcement of military power on the issues of: the U.S. Army being in Korea, deaths under suspicious circumstances on military bases, and environmental problems involving the burial of defoliants. Also there have been a variety of counter-movements centering on progressive groups. Therefore, decision-makers in national security and defense have to more actively listen to peoples opinions and apply them to policies in use. For this, the government should reinforce its existing cooperative systems with NGOs, involving national defense, and recognize the social importance and responsibility they have had in our society. NGOs should understand the positions of the government properly from a wide perspective and carefully present political suggestions on national defense within the larger framework of national security and development. A significant number of the people involved with NGOs have high social positions, as leaders of public opinion and intellectual capability. This means that NGOs can have influence and roles similar to leaders of public opinion. Public relations organizations of the government and army should pay as much attention to the activities of NGOs as they have paid to existing mass media or groups of opinion leaders. Favorable relationships with NGOs can be good levers for the formation of favorable public opinion on the activities of the army. In the future, the status of NGOs as an important driving force in Korean society will be reinforced because the expansion of NGOs is happening quickly in Korean society as well as in the world. The army should recognize NGO influence as a trend and begin to form cooperative relationships with NGO organizations. To make NGOs a good partner for the effective management of national defense, the army should make every effort to pay more attention to NGOs.
