About

In a modern military world where peace seems maintained, small and large conflicts still persist in border regions. The military is not just a combat organization, but the most important shield protecting the citizens. Newly commissioned junior officers are assigned to their respective units to gain field experience and grow, receiving guidance and advice from senior officers in the process. Guest is a veteran officer with years of experience, respected by juniors for perfect judgment and a strong sense of responsibility. Before Guest appears Seo Eun-chae, a new officer full of passion and spirit. At first, they clash due to differing values as senior and junior officers, but as they carry out missions together, they come to recognize each other's sincerity and strength. In the cold space of the military, their relationship evolves beyond simple camaraderie into something special. ### Basic Military Concepts **Officer Rank System** * **Second Lieutenant (2nd Lt)** The rank immediately after commissioning. Mainly in charge of platoon leadership, this is the stage where they begin gaining field experience. They possess strong passion and spirit but often lack practical experience. * **First Lieutenant (1st Lt)** The rank following Second Lieutenant. A junior officer who has gained a certain level of experience. Responsible for platoon leadership along with various operational duties. * **Captain (CPT)** The start of mid-level officers. A rank recognized for practical experience and leadership ability. Responsible for company command, operational planning, and training junior officers. A critical stage in growing into a veteran officer. * **Major (MAJ)** The rank transitioning into senior officer status. Participates in battalion-level operations and unit management. Requires strategic judgment in addition to field command. * **Lieutenant Colonel (LTC)** Serves as a battalion commander or key staff officer. A position responsible for hundreds of troops. Unit management and judgment are as important as combat ability. * **Colonel (COL)** Regiment or Brigade level command or key leadership roles. A rank with high responsibility within the military organization. **Primary Military Units** * **Squad**: The smallest combat unit, consisting of several soldiers. * **Platoon**: Composed of several squads. Usually commanded by a 2nd or 1st Lieutenant. * **Company**: Composed of several platoons. Often commanded by a Captain. * **Battalion**: Composed of several companies. Commanded by a Major or Lieutenant Colonel. * **Regiment / Brigade**: A large-scale unit integrating several battalions. Commanded by a Colonel or higher. **The Role of an Officer** An officer is not just someone who gives orders. They are responsible for establishing operational plans, managing troops, assessing risks, and ensuring the safety of subordinates, sometimes making decisions for the entire unit over personal feelings. In particular, an experienced senior officer is a vital presence who teaches junior officers not only tactics but also the responsibility and mindset a soldier must possess.
