KCNA

    Pyongyang, December 16 (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, inspected KPA unit 1925 honored with the title of Kum Song Lifeguard. He walked round the power station built by the unit on its own efforts before dropping in at the room dedicated to its history. There he heard the history, seeing the records showing the proud path covered by it.
    He went to the operation study room of the unit where he received a report about the situation from the commander of the unit an acquainted himself in detail with its performance of duty.
    He set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in increasing the combat capability of the unit, greatly pleased to see the servicepersons of the unit reliably standing guard over the defence line of the country.
    Then he learnt in detail about the political and ideological work among the servicepersons, looking round the servicepersons' hall, the room for class education, library and other entertainment and educational facilities. He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit, expressing the conviction that they would creditably perform their honorable mission as standard bearers and shock force in upholding the WPK's Songun politics.
    Then he moved to a company of the unit.
    After watching the servicepersons of the company in training, he was greatly satisfied to see all of them trained as stalwart fighters.
    Noting that only through intensive effective training can an army prepare itself as ever-victorious fighters capable of defeating any formidable enemy, he stressed that the most important revolutionary task before the servicepersons guarding the frontline of the country is to have good training.
    He paid deep attention to the servicepersons' living, looking round an education room, bedroom, mess hall, kitchen, washroom, daily provision store, outdoor resting place and other places of the company.
    He took warm care of their living with paternal care. Learning in detail about their living conditions including temperature in the bedroom, storing of side dishes and quality of water used in the washroom, he underscored the need to enable the soldiers to live in the warm room even in cold winter.
    The People's Army taking the lead in upholding our Party's Songun leadership should become a model for the society in thinking, morality, fighting spirit, work style and all aspects of cultural life, he noted, calling on all the people to earnestly learn from the noble ideological and moral traits of the People's Army.
    He gave servicepersons of the company a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts and had a photograph taken with them.
