Army of the Indoctrinated: The Suryong, the Soldier, and Information in the KPA - HRNK

Army of the Indoctrinated: The Suryong, the Soldier, and Information in the KPA

George Hutchinson’s The Suryong, the Soldier, and Information in the KPA is the second of three building blocks of a multi-year HRNK project to examine North Korea’s information environment. Hutchinson’s thoroughly researched and sourced report addresses the circulation of information within the Korean People’s Army (KPA). Understanding how KPA soldiers receive their information is needed to prepare information campaigns while taking into account all possible contingencies. The report examines official propaganda and indoctrination delivered to North Korean soldiers, all along the chain of control and command. Hutchinson provides the information, analysis and recommendations needed to inform KPA soldiers on the real situation outside North Korea, the human rights violations affecting them, and the corruption of their leadership.
