Military, East Sea, Vietnam field survey results announced (CG)When a North Korean man traveled to the coast near the Unification Observation Deck in Goseong, Gangwon-do, he was caught by a surveillance camera (CCTV) 10 times, but the military missed it eight times, revealing a serious loophole in the surveillance and surveillance network.
The military did not know for 3 hours and 11 minutes until the man was identified by moving to the civilian control line (civil control line) Socho after he came to the shore, and after 31 minutes of being caught in Socho, the situation was delayed by spreading the situation to major departments and officers. Criticism of response is also raised.
On the 23rd, the Joint Chiefs of Staff announced the results of on-site investigations by North Korean men on the north of the East Sea Civil Control Line on the 23rd and the military’s countermeasures.
According to the Joint Chiefs of Service, a North Korean man climbed to the shore near the Unification Observation Deck at 1:05 am on the 16th and moved south along the shore in front of the coastal iron fence, leaving the wetsuit and flippers in the rocky area.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said, “It is assumed that this man’s maritime movement was in North Korea while wearing a wet suit and swam over the sea,” he said.
As a result of the inspection team checking the unit’s coastal CCTV, the man was detected 5 times on 4 CCTVs from 1:05 am to 38 am, and the alarm sound (alarm) sounded twice on the monitoring room monitor.
Nevertheless, the control room watchdog missed this, and appropriate measures were not taken by the unit.
Subsequently, the inspection team also checked CCTV in other places along the route the North Korean man traveled.
Between 4:12 and 14 am, a North Korean man was detected three times on the CCTV guarding the fence of the Naval Joint Operations Support Center at the forefront of the east coast, but the alarm did not sound and the guards did not notice.
Then, it was detected twice by Socho CCTV on the civilian control line between 4:16 and 18 am, and the workers identified and reported the situation.
A total of 10 North Korean men were detected by CCTV, and the military only identified and communicated the situation when they were detected for the 9th and 10th time.
However, criticism is raised that even Lee is reporting procrastination.
This is because the civilian control line Socho identified it at 4:16 a.m., and it was only spread to key departments and positions through the high-speed situational transmission system at 4:47 p.m.
In particular, in this field investigation, it was revealed that the North Korean man did not even know the existence of the coastal iron fence drainage passage that passed between 1:40 and 1:50 am.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said, “In order to confirm the drainage drainage that the unknown personnel (North Korean male) have passed through, we identified three drainage ditches that are not on the unit management list between the coastal search.” It is estimated that it was in a state.”
In July of last year, North Korean defector Kim Mo ordered the front line units to inspect the floodgates and drainage channels through a drainage channel near Yeonmijeong in Wolgot-ri, Ganghwa-do, Incheon, but the 22nd Division, where this incident occurred, did not properly comply with these instructions.
As a result of the on-site inspection, the Joint Chiefs of Staff explained that the management of the situation room and video (monitor) of the unit could not be identified because they did not comply with the mission execution procedures, and that the facility management was poor even in the order to check the floodgates and drains and take supplementary measures.
In addition, after first identifying a North Korean man on Road 7 north of Jejin Socho of the Civil Control Line, it was concluded that the execution of the operation was insufficient, such as not complying with the situational action manual, and not complying with the situational action manual when determining the initial situation of the 22nd and 8th Corps. .
As a follow-up measure, the Joint Chiefs of Staff announced that it would establish operational discipline for the commanders of all units and personnel performing the alert by holding a meeting of operational commanders led by Chairman Won-cheol Won.
Based on the problems identified through this case, he emphasized that the concept of operation of the scientific boundary system will be supplemented, and that it will be corrected as soon as possible through a thorough investigation of the drainage passages and water gates below the iron fence.
He added that it will diagnose the status of the 22nd Division’s mission performance by integrating the Ministry of Defense, the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and the Army Headquarters, and take measures to ensure the conditions for mission performance, such as unit formation, facilities, and equipment reinforcement requirements.
Some people question the effectiveness of these measures, as they rethinked the follow-up measures such as’Knock defection’,’rail fence jump defection’, and’Daesu-ro North Korea’.
The Joint Chiefs of Staff said, “The military recognizes this situation seriously and will intensively pursue fundamental supplementary measures with the resolution of the transformation of the pangol.”
