  "summary": "Defense Minister Kang Shin-chul has reiterated the need to integrate the Army, Navy, and Air Force academies into a single institution, emphasizing the importance of such a reform in preparing the military for future warfare. During a meeting with about 60 cadets from the three academies at the Korea Military Academy in Seoul, Kang reiterated his support for establishing a National Military Academy to better prepare future officers for evolving warfare and strengthen the country's long-term security. The location of the proposed academy remains under consideration, with the government previously envisioning an integrated institution at Jaundae, a compound of military training and education facilities in Daejeon.",
