Dongmyeong Unit (Korean: 동명부대, Hanja: 東明 dongmyeong means 'light from the east') is one of the UN Peacekeeping Forces sent to Lebanon by the Republic of Korea Armed Forces (ROKA). It was formed on 21June2007.[1] The conflict in Lebanon began in 1975, after an outbreak of armed clashes between Christians and the Lebanese, Syrian and Israeli militaries leading into the Lebanese Civil War. To prevent ongoing hostilities, the United Nations passed United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions 425 and 426, activating the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL). As part of its contribution to UN forces, the Republic of Korea sent the Dongmyeong Unit as a rotational force to Lebanon in July2007. The Dongmyeong Unit consisted of 300people, including one battalion of Korean Special Forces and specialist troops filling various roles including engineering, communications, transport, maintenance and medical support.
The Dongmyeong Unit is the fifth Peace Keeping Operation (PKO) mission of the Republic of Korea and the second combat unit raised after the Sangnoksu Unit.[2]
