THE GREATEST STRENGTH OF THE NORTH KOREAN MILITARY IS THEIR ARTILLERY FORCE. THE NORTH MAY HAVE MORE, HOWEVER, QUALITATIVELY THEY ARE MOSTLY 1950-1960 VINTAGE SYSTEMS AND SHOULD BE EASILY DEFEATED BY OUR COMBINED AIR FORCES. THEY HAVE OVER 10,000 PIECES OF ARTILLERY, WITH MOST OF IT BEING SELF-PROPELLED AND MOBILE TO KEEP UP WITH THEIR GROUND FORCES.

THEY HOPE TO DESTROY U.S. AND SOUTH KOREAN FORCES THROUGH OVERWHELMING FIREPOWER. THEIR LONGEST RANGE SYSTEMS CAN REACH NEAR SEOUL.

N.K. ARTILLERY SYSTEMS ARE ALSO CAPABLE OF DEVLIVERING CHEMICAL AGENTS.
