General. a. For convenience, the following short titles will be used in this Handbook. These are accepted abbreviations which are widely used, and should be made a part of every advisor's vocabulary. (1) KMAG - U. S. Military Advisory Group to the Republic of Korea. (2) AMIK - American Mission In Korea. (3) JAS - Joint Administrative Services. b. The United States Military Advisory Group to the Republic of Korea is an integral part of the American Mission in Korea. It is under the administrative control of the Chief of AMIK (United States Ambassador), and under the operational control of the Department of Army. Logistical support for the Mission is obtained from the Joint Administrative Services, which is a housekeeping and service division of AMIK. c. The Department of National Defense is organized along lines similar to that of our own national military establishment. The same command and technical channels are followed by Koreans as are followed in the United States. 2. Mission. a. The Chief of KMAG is responsible for the organization, administration, equipping and training of the Korean Security Forces, which consist of the Korean Army, the Korean Coast Guard, and the Korean National Police. b. The objective of KMAG is to train the Korean Security Forces to perform capably the following missions: (1) Maintenance of law and order throughout the Republic of Korea. (2) Defense of the 38°North Parallel (the dividing line between North and South Korea) against aggression. (3) Suppression and extermination of subversive elements in South Korea. (4) Prevention of infiltration of guerrillas into South Korea, and resisting and subduing guerrilla warfare. (5) Protection of the coastal waters of Korea against smuggling of persons, goods, and materials into or out of Korea, and the prevention of piracy. 3. Intelligence. The U. S. Military Advisory Group is not primarily an intelligence gathering agency. It will conduct intelligence training, as part of the training mission, for the South Korean Security Forces, in order to provide advance information in cases of subversive activity or possible invasion. 4. Scope of U. S. Army Activity. As the term "advisor" indicates, military personnel of the U. S. Army assigned to KMAG give only broad, general guidance to the Korean Security Forces, as opposed to detailed instruction. Advisors do not command - they ADVISE!
