Usuyeongjeonjindocheop

Usuyeong were naval garrisons that the Joseon dynasty established in Jeolla and Gyeongsang provinces. This jeonjindocheop, an album of battle-formation diagrams, is a record that reveals the military organisation and operational practice of the Jeolla Right Naval Headquarters, and shows what kind of operations the garrison was carrying out. Its contents comprise fifteen items, including the Yejindo and Jikjindo diagrams, which depict various ways of responding when encountering the enemy. Inside the album is a note stating that the naval establishment was reorganised in 1780, the fourth year of King Jeongjo, suggesting that the album was compiled sometime after that year. It is a work of great documentary value for the detailed picture it gives of the organisation and tactics of the Usuyeong in the late Joseon period.
