South Korea's arms procurement agency plans to employ more civilians and fewer soldiers, as part of its efforts to reform the organization that has been tainted by a series of corruption scandals, according to the agency's chief.
"We are considering reducing the number of military officers and increasing the number of civil servants," said Lee Yong-geol, head of the country's Defense Acquisition Program Administration (DAPA), in an interview with Yonhap News Agency on Friday.
