    Pyongyang, December 19 (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 a sub-unit of KPA Unit 531. After receiving a salute, he watched the training of its servicepersons. He set forth tasks to be fulfilled by the sub-unit to further increase its combat capability, expressing satisfaction over the fact that all the servicepersons of the sub-unit have been trained as a-match-for-a-hundred fighters equipped with a high level of combat technique and capability.
    Walking the compound of the barracks standing among fruit trees and seeing their compound kept neat and tidy, he highly praised the sub-unit for having spruced up its revolutionary post to meet the need of the era of Songun.
    All the servicepersons of the KPA are the true patriots who ardently love their country like hero Ri Su Bok, he said, adding that the socialist country is like an invulnerable iron wall as its outpost is guarded by the soldiers strong in ideology and faith.
    He took profound care of the servicepersons' living, going round a bedroom, a mess hall, a kitchen, a store for what they produced through sideline farming and other places.
    After being informed that the sub-unit has registered successes in its sideline farming this year, he underlined the need to make an effective use of the materials for preparing non-stable food produced through it and serve the soldiers a variety of more food that cater to their taste.
    Examining a variety of food to be served on the "day for soldiers" in the kitchen, he was pleased with the sincerity shown by the officers' families who love them as their own flesh and blood and highly appreciated the efforts made by them.
    He gave the servicepersons of the sub-unit a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts before having a photo session with them. He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong, First Vice Department Director of the C.C., WPK Ri Jae Il and Vice Department Director of the C.C.,WPK Hwang Pyong So.
