According to previous reports, NK regime is planning the largest military parade in its history in coming October. So massed troops could be for massive display of military hardwares and goose-stepping troops.

However, once troops are massed, they can be used for different purposes, too. Such as locking down Pyongyang and purge any possible obstacle to Kim Junior's succession in one massive sweep.

I have a hard time believing those 2 NORK combat divisions are there for a military parade. I would imagine the NORKs have special parade units for that.

Moving combat divisions off the line (particualry for resource poor NK) and to the capital sounds like Kim wants a little muscle closer to home just in case things with his son’s transition to power don’t go smoothly or, on the other side of the spectrum, perhaps even a coup in the works.
