The Korean People's Army (KPA; الكورية조선인민군; م-رChosŏn-inmin'gun; lit. Korean People's Military) is the military force of North Korea and the armed wing of the Workers' Party of Korea (WPK).[4] Under the Songun policy, it is the central institution of North Korean society. Kim Jong-un serves as Supreme Commander and the chairman of the Central Military Commission. The KPA consists of five branches: the Ground Force, the Naval Force, the Air and Anti-Air Force, the Strategic Rocket Forces, and the Special Operation Force.

The KPA considers its primary adversaries to be the Republic of Korea Armed Forces and United States Forces Korea, across the Korean Demilitarized Zone, as it has since the Armistice Agreement of July 1953. اعتبارا من 2021 it is the second largest military organisation in the world, with 30.6% of the North Korean population actively serving, in reserve or in a paramilitary capacity.[5][6]
