� In response to the establishment of the Diet bill to partially revise the National Civil Service Law and related regulations, study is underway on laws that will be applied to SDF personnel, considering the specific features of special services.

� The Defense Agency Committee for the Promotion of Measures to Support the Development of the Next Generation was established.
