This combat training was divided into two parts: ‘Military Science'(strategyand operation)and ‘MilitaryTechnique'(tactics).When NKPA wasestablished(1945~1950),‘TheFieldRegulation'wastaken asNKPA'smain manualin theaspectof‘MilitaryScience'which emphasized cooperation and mobility during warfare.Moving on,‘TheInfantry CombatRegulation'which wasincludedinthe‘TheFieldRegulation'waschosenasthestandardmanual forNKPAinfantryintheaspectof‘MilitaryTechnique'.Itispossibletoconfirm thatitwascreatedbasedontheSovietUnion'smanualfrom relateddocuments likeRG242NARA aswell.From this,soldiersofNKPA couldbetrained well and this led to the outbreak ofthe waron the 38th Parallel.As forthe positiveresultsforNorthKorea,Kim IlSunggainedconfidenceonhismilitary powerwhichhadclearsuperiorityoverthatofROK Army.Later,thetraining based on the manualstrengthened NKPA and contributed to success in the earlypartoftheKoreanWar.Then,Kim stressedtheimportanceoffollowing thismanualcontinuouslyandincluded‘TheInfantryCombatRegulation'init.
