Pyongyang, July 4 (KCNA) -- July 4 is the anniversary of the Supreme Command of the Korean People's Army (KPA).
When the war broke out in Korea President Kim Il Sung took a just measure to organize the Supreme Command of the KPA to command the entire armed forces in a unified way.
A decree of the Presidium of the Supreme People's Assembly of the Democratic People's Republic of Korea on organizing the Supreme Command was issued on July 4, Juche 39 (1950) and Kim Il Sung took the assumption of office as the Supreme Commander in accordance with the unanimous will and desire of the entire Korean people and servicemen.
The organization of the Supreme Command made it possible to give a monolithic command over all the armed forces and military actions, take the initiative in the whole course of the war, change the military and political situation in favor of the DPRK and thus bring earlier the victory in the war.
On the same day, the front headquarters and the regional headquarters were also organized by decision no. 7 of the military commission.
With the front and regional headquarters formed, a swift and monolithic commanding system was established from the Supreme Command to the front headquarters, regional headquarters, combined units, units and subunits to cope with the changed military and political situation in the first days of the war. The wartime general commanding system was also fully established on the basis of the monolithic leadership system of the leader.
It was the historic measure which provided a definite guarantee for fully ensuring the leadership of Kim Il Sung over the Workers' Party of Korea, state and army and a great event which opened up a decisive phase for achieving the final victory in the Fatherland Liberation War.
