The Korean Revolutionary Army (Korean조선혁명군; Hanja朝鮮革命軍) was formed in May 1929, while leaders of the anti-Japanese struggle gathered at the National People's Office on Umahaengho-dong Street in Jilin-si, Manchuria, and formed the National People's Prefecture, the only revolutionary military government in southern Manchuria. It was organized into the prefecture's regular army. Afterwards, it was transferred to the Korean Revolutionary Party, which was organized to support and foster the National People's Prefecture. When the Korean Revolutionary Party became invalid in November 1934, the Korean Revolutionary Army government was established by integrating the administrative organization, the National People's Prefecture, and the military organization, the Korean Revolutionary Army. Meanwhile, between 1930 and 1934 , the Korean Independence Army under the Korean Independence Party was active in northern Manchuria .
