North Korea Begins Moving Troops Back to DMZ Guard Posts
I doubt anyone who follows inter-Korean issues ever expected this to last very long:
North Korea appears to have dispatched soldiers to some empty guard posts inside the Demilitarized Zone, sources said Thursday, following its warnings that it would beef up its military presence in border areas.
On Wednesday, the General Staff of the (North) Korean People’s Army vowed to set up “civil police posts,” which had been withdrawn from the DMZ under an inter-Korean military agreement, as part of next steps against South Korea after the demolition of the inter-Korean liaison office in the border town of Kaesong.
According to the military sources, several soldiers were spotted being dispatched to empty sentry posts inside the buffer zone from late Wednesday.Â
North Korea is believed to have around 150 such posts, and some of them were vacated in accordance with the inter-Korean tension-reducing pact signed in Sept. 19, 2018.

Wouldn’t be surprised if they slowly take over ROK positions too. All without firing a shot.
J6Junkie, I actually would. The ROKA frontline divisions are no joke.
Front line divisions used to be tough…now with K pop, make up and smartphones they are a push over….
Doesn’t matter when the ROK president says to disarm weapons and welcome them south.
