Korean Chinese Optimization Prime

Korean Chinese Optimization Prime (KCOP) or read as K Coops. It was first created on December 5, 1945 for the defense of Southeast Asian Nations from being invaded by Imperial Japan. The project lacked funding and was opposed by European nations and by the newly formed United Nations, and was finally abandoned after the separation of the two Koreas.

Objective

KCOP’s main objective was to create a world-class army in order to avoid invasion from world powers and to establish trade among the nations. The first original nations were Korea (South and North were unified), Malaysia, Democratic People’s Republic of China and the Philippines. Lacking manpower and government powers the Philippines dropped out of KCOP at an early stage, and Malaysia also abandoned after the separation of two Koreas. In the early stage KCOP created a killing technique at the expense of Chinese soldiers called Thenshe Fou. It was later improved and reformed as 특공 Tuk Gong, or translated special. The deadly technique is only currently taught fully to North Korean armies where there are no laws on soldier brutality. The revised much less aggressive version has been adapted into the ROK army currently and is taught to the ROK Special Forces. Also India, USA, Russia, and England’s special forces practice and learn this form at an annual gathering of Spec Ops at Kyung Ju and Kang Nam.

Formation

KCOP is often viewed or known as a form of martial arts when it is actually a treaty/ organization such as NATO. In 1956 when peace talks flew between South and North Korea KCOP was formed again with China in order to create this time not an army but a special task force and an intelligence agency. China and North Korea came up with candidates for the program in just two weeks. South Korea on the other hand had no candidates, for ROK was a Democratic nation. After four weeks of stalling the S Koreans took inmates sentenced to death to go to KCOP. This group was later called Sil Mi Do. On January 3, 1967 as sparks flew between the Koreas and after the nuclear tests of China, KCOP was finally dismembered.

Aftermath

The original KCOP’s spec ops soldiers were trained under extreme conditions and were highly honored in China and North Korea upon return. Unfortunately in South Korea it was decided to execute and exterminate the whole Sil Mi Do forces. The forces in Kyung Ju led a revolt and stormed to the Parliamentary house in Seoul and were all killed just three blocks from the Parliamentary house. After seeing this, forces in Kang Nam were reserved and later sent to Vietnam in the Vietnam War. 89 were sent to Vietnam at the beginning of the war and only 15 members were not able to come back home after the war. There are no military records showing what had happened to the rest of the 75 soldiers.

Rumors

According to wide reports the North Korean government does not deny the fact the KCOP tactics and the current use of KCOP

The Chinese government has claimed to have abandoned the KCOP for it cost too much money and manpower in order to run it.

Although South Korea denied any current activity of KCOP evidence have been found by the CIA of active KCOP operation. convert|230|nmi|km west of Dokdo island is a small South Korean military base. This base has international restrictions of satellite imaging and has a no-fly zone for a 45-kilometer radius. Also waters within 60 kilometers of the base are restricted from all vessels. An estimated amount of 600 KCOP trainees, mostly inmates with violent criminal records are the likely candidates. Due to the high mortality rate of 1:2 of KCOP half of the 600 “missing” inmates can be presumed dead.

This was also followed by the scandal in 2003 where four of the “missing” inmates were found buried on a private island off the Australian coast.
