    Pyongyang, August 25 (KCNA) -- Rodong Sinmun Thursday dedicates a signed article to the 45th anniversary of the publication of President Kim Il Sung's famous work "The People's Army Is a Communist School". The President in the work published on August 25, Juche 49 (1960) re-clarified the revolutionary character and working class character of the People's Army and set forth tasks to be fulfilled to strengthen it into invincible armed forces fully prepared politically and ideologically and ways to implement them.
    The President's Juche-oriented idea and cause of building revolutionary armed forces have been successfully carried forward by leader Kim Jong Il, the article says, and continues:
    The last several decades since the publication of the work have been a period in which revolutionary changes have taken place in the ideological and political work of the People's Army and its politico-ideological advantages have been fully displayed under the wise leadership of Kim Jong Il.
    Kim Jong Il has exerted utmost efforts for increasing the politico-ideological might of the revolutionary armed forces over the last decade, in particular, holding higher the banner of Songun to cope with the grave situation.
    Thanks to his dynamic Songun leadership, the People's Army has demonstrated its might as a vanguard standard-bearer taking the lead in upholding the socialist cause and the first-line guard and death-defying corps that absolutely trust the Workers' Party of Korea and the leader and follow them with loyalty in any storm and stress. The invincible might of the People's Army has been fully displayed in devotedly defending the headquarters of the revolution.
    The People's Army is the loyal vanguard which regards it as its biggest mission and the general goal of all its struggles and activities to devotedly defend the headquarters of the revolution headed by Kim Jong Il.
    This invincible might of the People's Army finds a most vivid manifestation in cherishing socialism as their fixed faith in struggles. This is clearly proved by the fact that a revolutionary sound fighting trait and work style are prevailing in the entire army.
