AB - During large-scale disasters, governmentstypically request military involvement. People now question the capability of the private sector, state and local governments to respond to emergencies following their poor response to Hurricanes Katrina and Sandy. Due to the military’s efficient response, its role was expanded within disaster management. After Katrina, the U.S. government created theDefense Authorization Bill in 2007 which supports presidential power to employ troops at the state and local level for reinforcement while mitigating the Posse Comitatus Act of 1878, which prohibited the military from enforcing civilian law. The National Guard can be deployed into the disaster areas and the Coast Guard, with its clear chain-of-command has a prominent role in disaster management. They were active during many disasters including Hurricane Katrina, Sandy and the Oklahoma tornados. This praxis in the U.S. can be applied to the South Korean military’s situation of crisis and emergency management. However, the Korean military’s roles are limited compared to those of the U.S. Thus, Korea could employ ‘mobilized divisions.’ These divisions could be used during emergencies and disasters in a similar manner to ensure quick response times. In addition, we can employ the military's clear chain-of-command to be better prepared for disasters. However, the military is not in complete unity, meaning it needs to further cooperate with civil governments and private organizations. Given the armistice with North Korea, it is not easy to mimic the U.S. military’s role in emergencies. Thus, employing the military in disaster management should not influence the national defense against North Korea. In addition, the military should not be misused for political purposes.
