FILE - In this Nov. 25, 2010 file photo, a South Korean Marine looks at destroyed houses on Yeonpyeong Island, South Korea, following a North Korean artillery attack. North Korea's military, founded 81 years ago Thursday, April 25 2013, is older than the country itself. It began as an anti-Japanese militia and is now the heart of the nation's “military first” policy. North Korea provided a chilling reminder of what its artillery is capable of when it showered the front-line South Korean island with shells, killing four people and underscoring the threat that its artillery troops pose at the disputed sea border.

U.S. Army soldiers ride an armored vehicle during their military exercise near the border village of Panmunjom, that separates the two Koreas, in Paju, north of Seoul, South Korea, Wednesday, April 24, 2013. For weeks, North Korea has threatened to attack the U.S. and South Korea for holding joint military drills and for supporting U.N. sanctions. Washington and Seoul said they've seen no evidence that Pyongyang is actually preparing for a major conflict, though South Korean defense officials said the North appears prepared to test-fire a medium-range missile capable of reaching the American territory of Guam.
