The Korean Volunteer Army (Korean: 조선의용군; Hanja: 朝鮮義勇軍), was an armed wing of the Chosŏn Independence Alliance, formed in 1942 by reorganizing the North China branch of the Chosŏn Volunteer Corps. Based in Taihang Mountain, they fought an armed struggle against the Japanese until the end of World War II. They were disbanded and many of them were incorporated into the Korean People's Army. At the time of the establishment of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea, they were called the Yan'an faction, but were purged until 1958 after the Korean War.
