A State builds its national defense to protect its peoples’ lives and its assets by organizing its military and training its soldiers. The military is organized in a pyramidal structure to maintain a strong national defense requiring vigorous and high-quality human resource. The military maintains its young and active status and Long-Service Retirement, By-Grade Retirement, and Retirement by Biological Age are policies implemented to maintain high-quality human resource as well as active military organization. By doing so, the military can be appropriately managed, but many career soldiers are being discharged early, regardless of their will. Being the employer, the state must manage and place political consideration for the career soldiers being discharged early at the peak of their career so that they may successfully resettle back to society. For this, this research focuses on providing alternative plans for the state to induce the factors for the re-employment of retired soldiers and to study the level of influence of the government’support policy on the retired soldiers’quality of life and within the process of their social integration. It is said that soldiers feed on morale.

Based on such background, this research studies the factors for the re-employment of retired soldiers. This research focuses on analyzing the elements that cause influence on the re-employment factors of the retired soldiers. In addition, this research also provides a plan for the re-employment of retired soldiers based on the assessment of the analysis on the government’s re-employment support policy for retired soldiers.
