S.Korea Mercenaries for JAF image - Endwar mod for Rise of Nations for Rise of Nations: Thrones and Patriots

In 2030, an economic, political and ethnic crisis broke out in the US, causing many countries to be severely affected. As a country with close relations with the US, the South Korean economy was quickly affected and in crisis. Unlike the Asian economic crisis in 1997, this time the US can no longer spend tens of billions of dollars to save the South Korean economy as before. The oligarchs began to leave, leaving behind a chaotic South Korea.
In 2035, the United States broke out in internal armed conflict, the US troops stationed in Korea and around the world were ordered to withdraw to the country to suppress the fighting between the two factions of the far right and the far left. South Korea is now in turmoil with a weak economy and severe military cuts.
In 2036, the APA alliance is emerging with ambition. A surprise attack by 3 million APA troops quickly brought down the South Korean defenses in just three weeks. The South Korean government and 200,000 remnants fled to Jeju Island to entrench with the help of Japan. Joint force JAF was established.
In 2039, the war between the APA alliance and the VPA forces in Indochina broke out. Taking advantage of the time when the APA alliance focused on the Indochina front, JAF forces suddenly organized counterattacks in South Korea and Taiwan. 200,000 remnants of South Korean troops were mobilized as mercenaries to fight under the Japanese generals leading the JAF.
Despite being quickly defeated in the war of 2036, the South Korean soldiers were well equipped and maintained with blood and iron discipline. After recovering the will to fight, the South Korean mercenaries often chosen as the vanguard proved extremely stubborn, ready to slaughter anyone who stood in their way or cooperated with the enemy, becoming nightmare for Chinese soldiers fighting in South Korea.
