초록
The Kal-gol (갈골) ballistic missile operating base is located in Koksan-gun (곡산군, Koksan County), Hwanghae-bukto (황해북도, North Hwanghae Province), approximately 52 kilometers north of the DMZ and 125 kilometers north of Seoul—the capital of South Korea.2 Although occasionally and inaccurately referred to as being an “underground missile storage” facility or having “underground launch pads” it is a forward ballistic missile operating base that has underground facilities (UGF) that house ballistic missile transporter-erector-launchers (TEL) or mobile-erector-launchers (MEL) that during wartime will exit the base to conduct launch operations.3 The base is subordinate to the Korean People’s Army’s (KPA) Strategic Force, which is responsible for all ballistic missile units.
