This study explores the potential utilization of elderly reserve personnel as a solution to the decreasing reserve force manpower resulting from South Korea's serious low fertility and aging population issues. By analyzing cases from advanced countries such as Japan and Germany, we sought to develop a new paradigm that incorporates healthy and skilled personnel who exceed the current age limit of the reserve military service. Based on this analysis, we propose three specific utilization models: expertise-based support reserves, non-regular service senior reserves, and disaster response/community support reserves. Furthermore, we analyze the challenges and expected benefits of implementing such systems, and suggest policy recommendations including legal framework refinement, efficient management system establishment, and customized training program development. This research is expected to contribute to proactively addressing demographic changes and building a sustainable reserve force system.
