Abstract

At a time of heightened terrorism threats from terrorism organizations and increasingly realistic threats such as North Korea's drone incursions, few studies have focused on the military, despite the fact that it is one of the biggest targets of terrorism. Therefore, this study utilized the Global Terrorism Database (GTD) to conduct an in-depth analysis of terrorism incidents and military-related terrorism damage data over the past 50 years to face the reality and risk of terrorism against military facilities and to propose alternatives.
 The analysis revealed that the number of military victims and the percentage of victims are increasing, the number of deaths per incident is higher in military-related terrorism incidents than in general terrorism incidents, and the type of attack in military-related terrorism incidents is becoming more complex, while the type of attack in general terrorism incidents is becoming more monolithic with explosions. As a result of this analysis, it is necessary to adjust the priority of counter-terrorism alternatives according to the proportion of targeted facilities, and establish defense measures for each targeted facility. We hope that this study will serve as a basis for the military's future terrorism prevention measures and provide a foundation for further research.
