I know a little less about military strategy as I do about the PLA and KPA  but I don't forsee massive charges up the DMZ in the first few days but rather an extensive air campaign or maybe even carpet bombing of DPRK's front line. Only problem with my wonderful militarily genius strategy is that the people of SK might be living under a hail of artillary shells while we slowly whittel down KJI's army. |
North Koreas's side of the DMZ has thousands of HARTs (Hardend Artillery sites each needing a direc thit to take out. Belt after belt after blet of mines, bunkers pill boxes and fighting postions by the thousandsa and unlike Iraq no open flanks thanks to the mountains.
The US Army could chew through it with time, but not fast enough to save Seoul. The USMC might be able to outflank the DMZ, but we dont have enough sealift to keep them supported if the army cannot get through fast enough.
