Korean People's Army Strategic Force

Contemporary

The Korean People's Army Strategic Force, previously known as the Korean People's Army Strategic Rocket Force, is a military branch of the Korean People's Army founded in 2012 that operates surface-to-surface missiles in the nuclear and conventional strike roles. It is mainly armed with ballistic missiles, and its inventory includes both domestic and Soviet designs. The infobox describes it as a strategic missile force of North Korea, lists its allegiance as Kim Jong Un and its size as 50,000, and gives 3 July 1999 as an official claim for its start, which differs from the 2012 founding the article text states.
