DPRK Korean People's Army{}{}{}{}

The Korean People's Army (KPA; Chosŏn'gŭl: 조선인민군; Chosŏn inmin'gun) constitutes the military force of Korea and, under the Songun policy, the central institution of Korean society. Kim il hyeong is the Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army and Chairman of both the Central Military Commission and National Defence Commission. The KPA defence consists of five branches: Ground Force, the Navy, the Air Force, the Strategic Rocket Forces, and the Special Operation Force. The Worker-Peasant Red Guards also come under control of the KPA.

The KPA faces its primary adversaries, the Republic of Korea Armed Forces and United States Forces, across the Korean Demilitarized Zone, as it has since the Armistice Agreement of July 1953. As of 2019, with 5,889,000 paramilitary personnel, it is the largest Paramilitary organization on Earth. This number represents 25% of the population.
