ABSTRACT

This study aims to diagnose the current management system of division-level archives in the Republic of Korea Army and propose an integrated management plan centered on corps-level echelons to enhance the efficiency and expertise of Army archives management. To this end, the study employed literature review and case study methods and empirically analyzed field conditions and perceptions regarding the integrated management of Army archives through surveys and interviews conducted with Army records management specialists and practitioners. Four improvement measures are proposed for the integrated management of Army archives. First, with respect to organizational management, existing division-level archives should be reorganized into corps-level integrated archives that reflect regional and operational characteristics, and be reconstituted under the direct control of the Army Archival Information Management Group as an independent body to ensure administrative and functional control. Second, in the aspect of personnel management, the expertise of records management specialists should be enhanced through their concentrated deployment to each integrated archive, thereby ensuring continuity of duties. Third, in terms of facilities and infrastructure, dedicated standalone preservation buildings should be secured, and the stability of physical preservation environments should be strengthened. Fourth, implementation should proceed sequentially through a phased advancement strategy that follows systematic processes. The study findings may serve as foundational data for future policy formulation and organization restructuring of Army records management.
