韩国陆军于6月19日宣布，作为提升职业稳定性人事改革的一部分，从2028年起将允许更多符合条件的士官转为长期服役。
此前，陆军仅选拔申请者中前20%的人员进入长期服役（至少需要服役七年），但今年已将该比例提高至50%。从2028年起，所有无取消资格情形的候选人都将具备申请资格。去年，长期服役的士官人数从之前的约3000人增加到3900人。在征兵人数减少和国家人口萎缩的背景下，韩国陆军正面临招募挑战。陆军还计划到2028年将下士晋升为中士的年限从六年缩短至四年，并将实际晋升周期从4.3年减少至3.2年。其他措施还包括加强有人与无人协同系统及无人机能力的培训，并计划在2027年将下士的平均月薪提高至约300万韩元（约合1950美元）。
