The Military Affairs Command (Korean: 군무도독부), also called Dodokbu (도독부) or Dokgunbu (독군부), was an independence army organized by Choi Jin-dong and headquartered in Bongo-dong, Wangcheong-hyeon, Manchuria, in 1919.
Settled in Wangcheong County, North Gando, waiting for an opportunity, they recruited young people from the Korean community to the Military Affairs Command.
This group joined forces with Hong Beom-do's Korean Independence Army and carried out active operations to enter the country.
The Military Affairs Command was an elite unit of the independence army who invited Russian instructors and trained for a long period of time as if it were real combat.
He even dispatched three people, An Jeong-geun, Wang Sam-deok, and Cho Sang-seop, to Manchuria and Maritime Province as representatives of the provisional government to realize an integrated army.
Starting in the spring of 1920, this integrated unit achieved great success by mainly attacking the Japanese army in the area of North Hamgyong Province near the Duman River.
The area around Seodaepa, Wangcheong-hyeon, the base of the Northern Military Administration Office, was his own land provided by General Choi Un-san.
