The flag of the Korean People's Strategic Forces (ballistic missiles), like
the flag of the Korean People's Special Operations Forces,
has not been seen in public since 2020, indicating that those two military
services may have, once again, been downgraded and subordinated back to the
Korean People's Ground Forces. Neither flag made an appearance in the stand of
military colors on the balcony overlooking the September 2021 parade
commemorating the founding of the DPRK, and neither flag appeared in the 25
April 2022 parade commemorating the 90th anniversary of the founding of the
North Korean military. In fact, all missile and likely special operations units
in the April 2022 parade carried
Korean People's Ground Forces pattern
colors, further indicating that they have probably been made subordinate to the
Ground Forces once again.
