..wait for it...reserve :) Roughly 11x its active army personnel are on standby and can be called in to serve in times of war. Does anyone know if this has always been true (in times of US and Vietnam far e.g.)?

For better context, Vietnam population is 97million.

Korea has 77 million people and compulsory national service so almost all males are “reserve”.

Seems larger.
