Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Unit

Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

    Pyongyang, June 1 (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 992. He climbed a forward command post from where he learned about the terrain conditions and the deployment of forces and received a report on the situation from the commander of the unit, feasting his eyes on the defence theatre.
    He set forth tasks which would serve as guidelines in increasing the unit's combat capability in every way and consolidating the defence theatre as firm as an iron wall, satisfied to learn that its servicepersons have converted the defence theatre into an invulnerable fortress and performed their duties in a responsible manner.
    Looking over the defence theatre, he said the country is like an iron wall as the soldiers, their hearts burning with the determination to share destiny with the party and make a long journey of the revolution with loyalty to the last, are firmly standing guard over the defence line, tightly holding rifles in hands ready to wipe out the enemies.
    He dropped in at the military lecture room to familiarize himself with the training of commanding officers. He underscored the need for the unit to thoroughly establish the habit of training so that all of them may acquire the commanding ability as required by a modern warfare. He went round a servicepersons' hall, a library and other entertainment facilities to learn about how the political work is conducted among them.
    He stressed the need for the KPA units to establish a revolutionary habit of reading and thus encourage the soldiers to avidly read various kinds of books in order to firmly arm them with the WPK's revolutionary idea and help them steadily boost their cultural attainments.
    Walking the compound of the barracks, he learned about how the unit is managed.
    The People's Army has created the really praiseworthy soldier culture in the era of Songun, he noted, adding this is a precious fruition of the mental power of the army which steers the era and the revolution.
    He took deep care of the soldiers' living, looking round the unit's facilities for supply service.
    He praised the commanding officers and soldiers of the unit for having remained true to the WPK's Songun policy in single-minded unity, noting that the unit has done a lot of work including the increase of its combat capability and the improvement of its management.
    He had a photo session with servicepersons of the unit.
