The Republic of Korea Reserve Forces (ROKRF; Korean: 대한민국 예비군; Hanja: 大韓民國 豫備軍; RR: Daehanminguk Yebigun), also known as the ROK Reserve Forces, is the 3,100,000-strong[3] reserve force of South Korea.
There are two major branches of the Reserve Forces: the Mobilization Reserve Forces (동원예비군; 動員豫備軍; Dongwon Yebigun) and the Homeland Reserve Forces (향토예비군; 鄕土豫備軍; Hyangto Yebigun), a Home Guard type force.
Soldiers who have completed their service in the Republic of Korea Armed Forces are automatically transferred to the Reserve Forces and must first serve 4 years in the Mobilization Reserve and then 4 years as an Homeland Reservist. During wartime, about 5 divisions would be formed under the Mobilization Reserves, and deployed to the war zone to provide support and regional stabilization. In the meantime, the Homeland Reserve would defend the homeland from any possible attacks from the enemy.

The military has decided to omit the word 'minjok,' which refers to the Korean race, from the oath of enlistment for officers and soldiers, and replace it with 'the citizen.' The measure reflects the growing number of foreigners who gain Korean citizenship and of children from mixed marriages entering military service.
