2026 Military Recruitment: How to Apply for Army, Navy, Air Force, and Marine Corps in Incheon

Translation result

The Incheon Military Manpower Administration is recruiting the fifth 2026 active-duty intake for the Army, Navy, Air Force and Marine Corps, with enlistment scheduled for August.

Applications open at 2 p.m. on the 30th and close at 2 p.m. on May 7. Exceptions apply for certain Army categories: applicants for concurrent-family enlistment, local-area service assignments and units where immediate family members serve must submit applications by 2 p.m. on May 6.

The Air Force is seeking applicants for technical specialist and specialty-skill positions. General technical roles are excluded from this month’s intake because the Air Force completed a separate lottery selection for second-half enlistees. Recruits may choose a field that matches their qualifications, licenses or college major and serve on active duty in areas such as administration, transportation, communications and electronics.

Eligible applicants are those designated for active-duty enlistment who are between 18 and 28 years old in the application year. Candidates who have not yet received a military service classification may still apply, but they must complete the active-duty physical on a separate schedule and obtain a physical grade of 1–4.

Applications can be submitted through the Military Manpower Administration website or via the agency’s mobile app.
