The Capital Garrison (Geumwiyeong, (금위영 (禁衛營) was one of the central military camps established during the reign of King Sukjong in the late Joseon dynasty. It was referred to as one of the "Five Army Camps" (오군영) along with the Military Training Agency (Hullyeongdogam (訓鍊都監), Royal Guard Command (Eoyeongcheong (御營廳), Command of the Northern Approaches (Chongyungcheong (摠戎廳), and the Royal Defence Command Sueocheong (守禦廳), which formed the core of the central military system in the late Joseon period. In terms of defending the capital city, it was also called the "Three Military Gates" (삼군문) along with the Military Training Agency and the Royal Guard Command. Capital Garrison was created by integrating the Jeongchocheong (精抄廳) and Hullyeonbyeoldae (訓鍊別隊) in the early years of King Sukjong's reign. Its main responsibilities included the defense of Hanyang Fortress, the protection of palaces such as Changdeokgung (昌德宮) and Changgyeonggung (昌慶宮), and providing security during the king's processions.[1]
