AB - The North Korea's National Defense Ministry (NDM, Minjokbowiseong) derived from the National Defense Department(Minjokbowikuk) of the North Korean People's Committee established on February 4, 1948. The NDM was established on September 9, 1948 as a central administrative agency over the Korean People's Army(KMA). The NDM consisted of 15 departments including the Artillery Command and the Navy Command. At that time, there were more than 40 officers, including the minister Choi, Yong-Keon(崔庸健) and the vice minister Kim, I(金一). The North Korean leadership recognized the importance of political education, artillery, and naval forces of the KPA, assigned the related affairs to the deputy ministerial division of the NDM. On the other hand, the Air Force of the KPA, unlike the army and navy, was not an independent army, but a unit under the control of the NDM directly. The political field of the KPA was from the Northeastern Anti-Japanese Union Army group, education and training from the Korean Volunteer Army group, and naval, artillery and miners from the Korean of Soviet origin. The KPA was a political coalition system in which each political party divided professional fields. NDM assigned political and military characteristics to the entire unit by deploying the people in the KPA to a new unit. The forces of the KPA were fostered as armies capable of carrying out modern warfare in a short period of time by sharing political and military characteristics. In addition, the NDM recruited new officers mainly through the North Korean Workers' Party. Since 1949, the North Korean Workers' Party has fully adopted the Soviet-style Nomenclartula system by taking over rights of personnel management to the officers of state institutions and armed forces.
