Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

KCNA

    Pyongyang, October 24 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the DPRK National Defence Commission, again went to the forefront and inspected KPA Unit 894 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment. He was greeted by the commanding officers of the unit on the spot and dropped in at the operation commanding room of the unit where he received a report on the situation from the commander of the unit and learnt in detail about the unit's performance of its duty.
    He highly praised the exploits performed by all the servicemen of the unit, greatly pleased to learn that they have achieved many successes through their strenuous efforts to thoroughly implement the WPK's military line of self-defence. He set forth important tasks for increasing the unit's combat capability in every way.
    After seeing records showing the path covered by the unit and materials on the struggle waged by heroes in the servicemen's hall, he said that this unit is a proud one which has performed shining feats in the sacred struggle to defend gains of socialism in the past.
    The noble self-sacrificing spirit displayed by the servicemen of the unit in their devoted struggle for the Party, the leader, the country and the people will shine long in the annals of the country, he added.
    He watched servicemen in training, going round the military science study room built in a unique manner.
    Noting that it is very gratifying for the unit to have built a splendid study room for implanting sufficient knowledge needed for actual battles into officers and men and conducted an effective training and education, he underscored the need to fully prepare the servicemen as a match-for a hundred fighters.
    He took deep care of the service and the life of the servicemen, looking round an education room, a bedroom, a mess, a food processing room, a sidedish store, a vegetable greenhouse and other places of the unit.
    He highly appreciated such revolutionary fighting trait and way of life as managing their economic life assiduously and methodically in the same way as the anti-Japanese guerrilla army managed its unit, greatly pleased to learn that the unit has provided the soldiers with excellent living conditions by building sufficient entertainment and logistic facilities and kept the compound of its barracks and their surroundings as neat and tidy as a park.
    He spared time to see an art performance given by servicemen of the company under the unit. He had a photograph taken with the officers and men of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and First Vice-Department Directors Ri Yong Chol and Choe Chun Hwang of the C.C., WPK.
