Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)
Pyongyang, January 27 (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 932. After receiving a salute, he went round the monument to the on-the-spot instructions of President Kim Il Sung and the rooms devoted to the education in the revolutionary history and to the unit's history, conducted by the commander of the unit.
Looking round with deep emotion the precious historic relics and mementoes associated with the gigantic footprints of the President, he said that thanks to the wise leadership and meticulous care of the President this unit grew to be a matchless combat contingent and traversed a path shining with victory and glory.
After acquainting himself with the unit's performance of duty, he dropped in at a military lecture room to learn about the training of its commanding officers.
He set forth tasks to be undertaken to increase the unit's combat capability in every way, expressing satisfaction over the fact that the unit has firmly equipped all its commanding officers with the WPK's Juche-oriented war methods and helped them steadily round off the Korean-style tactics and combat methods by focusing its efforts on the training of its commanding officers and staff, thereby preparing all of them as versatile commanding officers capable of wiping out any formidable enemy troops at a single stroke.
He highly praised the unit for having built modern cultural facilities to enable its servicepersons to fully enjoy a cultural and emotional life, put their operation on a regular basis and established a revolutionary habit of reading books among them, in particular.
To study is a basic process a revolutionary has to go through to cultivate himself and essential mental labor which he should not stop even a single day in order to secure an asset for contributing to the social progress and change, he said, underlining the need to more thoroughly establish the habit of study through book reading.
The next leg of his inspection was a sub-unit of the unit.
He watched the training of its servicepersons in a military lecture room.
He indicated tasks for placing the training on a scientific and regular basis and ways to do so, noting that an effective combat training of servicepersons alone makes it possible to train them into a-match-for-a-hundred fighters equipped with peculiar and superb tactics and high marksmanship and specialized military technique and strong physique.
He took deep care of the soldiers' living, making the rounds of a bedroom, a mess hall, a kitchen, a wash-cum-bath house, a non-staple food store and other supply service facilities.
He saw a variety of food prepared "On the day for soldiers" in the kitchen. He appreciated the efforts made by commanding officers and their families, saying that the food vividly represents their warm love for the soldiers.
He called on the commanding officers to do their best to improve the soldiers' living, always bearing deep in mind the President's teaching that supply service precisely means a political work.
He spared time to watch an art performance given by servicepersons of the sub-unit.
They presented the chorus "Let's Sing of Our Pride in Being under the Guidance of the General", poem and song "We Will Always Remember That Glorious Day", poem and chorus "For the Motherland" and other songs representing the strong longing of the servicepersons of the KPA for Kim Jong Il. He had a photo session with servicepersons of the unit.
He was accompanied by Ri Yong Chol, member of the Central Military Commission of the WPK and first vice department director of the WPK Central Committee, and Hwang Pyong So, vice department director of the WPK Central Committee.
