In the historical development of military logistics, the Korean War heralded the rise of the U.S. Army's CONEX system, considered the prototype of containerization. The Vietnam War marked a turning point in the global spread of containerization, achieving a ‘Co-evolution’ in both military and commercial logistics. As a direct participant in both these ‘hot wars’ during the Cold War era, Korea experienced the container logistics revolution. This study aims to clarify Korea's strategic position and transnational connectivity within the historical trajectory of this container logistics revolution. To this end, it analyzes the decolonization of the Pacific, the construction of transnational connectivity by the US empire, the origins of Korean container logistics through wars, and the process of Korea's integration into the transnational connectivity of the US military-industrial complex. The findings reveal that the origins of Korea's container logistics and the establishment of its transnational connectivity were a process of integration into the web of connections of the U.S. military-industrial complex under the U.S.-led global hegemonic strategy. This process was shaped by the interaction and influence of the postwar imperial project of global militarization, the ‘internationalization’ of the militarist developmental state, and Hanjin's ‘imitation learning’ through its participation in the U.S. military's OSP(Offshore procurement) during the wartime.
