Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Companies

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

    Pyongyang, July 23 (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 companies under KPA Unit 287. He inspected a battery under it.
    He was pleased to learn that all soldiers of the battery have been trained as crack shots as it has built a good drill ground and put the training on a regular basis.
    Then he went round an educational room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a wash-cum-bath house, a non-staple food store, a barn and other places of the battery.
    He praised the servicepersons of the battery for assiduous life style, noting with appreciation that they have spruced up their barracks like rest homes and tenaciously done sideline farming, stockbreeding and other work to make their living affluent. He gave the servicepersons of the battery a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts and had a photograph taken with them.
    The next leg of his inspection was an auto company under the unit.
    He dropped in at a training room to watch its servicepersons' technical training. He underscored the need for all the servicepersons to handle their technical equipment with good care like the apples of their eyes, noting it is very good that the company has steadily raised the rate of vehicle operations by manufacturing a variety of tools and equipment.
    Then he was informed of the supply service at the company by its commanding officers. He took deep care of the company's soldiers, looking round an educational room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a non-staple food store, a wash-cum-bath house, a vegetable plot and other entertainment and logistic facilities.
    Seeing photographs showing various aspect of their life, he was pleased to see all of them trained into a-match-for-a hundred fighters. He told its commanding officers to let their soldiers have more photographs taken as they like them very much.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the company.
