Welcome to the Korean military history task force, a joint venture of the Korea and Military history WikiProjects. If you have any questions about articles or are generally seeking advice, you're encouraged to ask at the main military history talk page, or you can directly approach one of the task force participants below. The coordinators of the Military history WikiProject can be contacted here. Scope This task force covers all topics related to the military history of Korea. Any article related to this task force should be marked by adding Korean-task-force=yes or Korean=y to the {{WPMILHIST}} project banner at the top of its talk page (see the project banner instructions for more details on the exact syntax). This will automatically place it into Category:Korean military history task force articles.
