Korea Army Training Center

The Korea Army Training Center (abbreviated KATC; Korean: 육군훈련소) is a South Korean military training institution for the Republic of Korea Army basic training. It is also commonly known as Nonsan Training Center or Yeonmudae.
It is one of the subordinate elements of the Republic of Korea Army Training & Doctrine Command (육군교육사령부). It was established in 1951 during the Korean War, by order of South Korean President Syngman Rhee. The recruits get deployed to their designated units after receiving basic military training at the KATC.
Article 39(1) of the Republic of Korea's Constitution states that all people have the duty of national defense under the conditions specified in the Constitution. The Military Duty Law, mandated by the Constitution, states that all male Korean nationals must fully fulfill their military service duties, as stated by the Constitution and Article 3(1) of this Law.
As a result, under the universal conscription system, all South Korean male citizens between the ages of 18 and 35 are compelled to serve in the military. Recruited troops often undertake short-term basic military training to become elite soldiers, with the majority of manual activity. The service is for a defined period of time, after which soldiers are moved to reserve units. After finishing their military duty, the reserves just get on with their lives in peacetime until they are called up again in an emergency or wartime. New recruits train for five weeks on active duty and three weeks on supplementary duty before becoming private soldiers
During the Korean War, there were training centers from the 1st to the 7th, and it took about two weeks to put it on the frontline. The 1st Training Center was at Moseulpo, Jeju Island, Seoguipo, and the 3rd training center was located in Geoje, South Gyeongsang Province. KATC was established on November 1, 1951 under the name "2nd Training Center" to fix problems of the 1st training center unfit for training recruits from the mainland korean peninsula, and to encourage affiliations with other military training instituitions outside jeju. In commemoration of its establishment, President Syngman Rhee gave it the pen name "Yeonmudae(연무대; 鍊武臺, roughly translated as "The stage of training martial arts")"
A three-day preparatory session in which novices acclimate to the training center before beginning fullfledged training. They spend time listening to instructions regarding procedure routines, official names, living regulations at the training center, and completing out surveys, among other things.
In training course for supplementary service personnel, the overall course and difficulty are shortened and eased comparing with active duty training course, mainly due to the trainees' health and medical issues. Supplementary service personnel are subject to the draft during wartime when almost all active duty Human Resources are exhausted in the war. Also, unlike active duty, they are classified as soldiers only for three weeks; this means after the day when completion ceremony holds, they are reverted to civilian.
