ABSTRACT

This study aimed to analyze the current status of multicultural understanding education within the military in response to the increasing number of multicultural soldiers and to suggest effective improvement measures. A Focus Group Interview (FGI) was conducted with five retired non-commissioned officers who had experience managing multicultural soldiers and three multicultural society experts. The findings revealed that although institutional foundations for multicultural education exist, the lack of clearly defined target groups, limited awareness among commanders and officers, and content misaligned with the realities of military life highlight critical limitations in the current system and its implementation. Based on these findings, this study proposes expanding the target of multicultural education, developing position-specific curricula, producing training materials grounded in actual military cases, establishing a preemptive training system centered on commanders, and increasing the frequency of educational sessions.
