AB - This paper examines the phases of the Korean Righteous Army's military operations by arms and tactical or strategic system. In order to achieve the purpose, I conducted the analysis on the Ahn Jung-geun's troops, which was active in the East Manzhou and the Maritime Province (Primorskiy krai) about 1909. I conclude as follows on the phases and its characteristics of Ahn Jung-geun's military operations against the Japanese Imperialism. First, Ahn's troop was also different from others's conditions. His troops had been used to the rifle such as matchlock or flintlock, and was gradually changing to the musket. His one revealed the mixture of traditional and modern weapons. When Ahn shot Ito Hirobumi at Harbin, his pistol was a Browning (Browning M1900 or M1903). Second, in the military formation and tactics, the Korean Righteous Army as a volunteer was naturally different from high structure and low structure. Their principle of military basic formation was 3-3-5-5 system, but their chain of command was weak and dispersed. Ahn's troops had 100 persons, they developed the way of small-sized military operation, so called guerrilla warfare. Even though Ahn had been full of military knowledge and operational capacity, his military operations were failure for discordance of command with the leaders around as a result. Third, conclusion concern that, although Ahn's troops were in the limited condition, his spirit for fighting against Japan be toward the peace. Therefore it means that his fighting against Japan by armed forces was only a limited measure. On that point, some people say that Ahn is a Romantist. In conclusion, even if Ahn was toward to fight Japan by dint of the Military Base, it seems that he stressed a peaceful intentions in spirit than the fighting, in that conditions.
