The Yuckjeondae (Korean: 육전대, meaning "Marine Corps") is a North Korean Commando Infantry that appears in Wargame: Red Dragon.
History[]
Despite the literal meaning of Yuckjeondae/육전대/陸戰隊 being "Marine Corps", it should refer to North Korea's 항공육전대 (Aviation Marines), namely paratroopers.
North Korea has operated special operations forces since before the Korean War. During that conflict they continued to conduct successful commando operations against various United Nations and South Korean targets. Learning from those successes, North Korea has expanded their special operations forces to be the largest in the world. Today, these forces are known collectively as the Special Purpose Forces, and fall under the control and direction of the Reconnaissance Bureau. The Reconnaissance Bureau was instrumental in the tunneling operations that North Korea undertook throughout the Seventies, and continuing until today.
The Reconnaissance Bureau is subordinate to the Ministry of the People's Armed Forces. The Bureau, in addition to overseeing special operations, also has the responsibility of maintaining operational control of intelligence agents engaged in military intelligence collection and the training of the unconventional warfare units. The Bureau has also been involved in the infiltration of commandos by land and sea into South Korea for the purposes of sabotage, intelligence gathering and assassinations.
The special operations forces under the Bureau are broken down by category. They are agent operations, reconnaissance, and light infantry/ sniper. The agent operations concern all aspects of infiltrating, operating and exfiltrating agents conducting military intelligence operations.
The main task of these units is to create disruption in the rear areas of the forces in South Korea. Already many troops have been infiltrated south. Many of these commandos have been captured or killed in firefights, but an unknown number are probably already in place. Many of these forces are trained to use disguises, either that of South Korean military personnel or as civilians. Other targets include nuclear and chemical stockpiles and the assassination of military and civilian leaders in the South. Targets beyond the Korean peninsula are also included in their target list, such as US airfields in Japan.
The additional tasking to internal security duties allows the force to hone its abilities and serve the Party and government in a direct way now. Used to help monitor borders and other points of entry, they assist other units in preventing enemy agents from entering and citizens from leaving.They also can be called upon to assist police units in the performance of special duties.
While not considered to be individually the equivalent of many other special operations forces, such as the US Navy SEALs or British SAS, their sheer numbers help tip the scale in their favor. They are a highly trained force to reckoned with both within and outside of North Korea.
