   Pyongyang, June 13 (KCNA) -- Supreme Commander of the Korean People's Army Kim Jong Il, general secretary of the Workers' Party of Korea and chairman of the National Defence Commission of the DPRK, inspected KPA Unit 147. Conducted by the commander of the unit, he went round the room for the education in revolutionary relics and the room devoted to the unit's history.
    The unit could grow to be matchless combat ranks under the loving care of President Kim Il Sung, he said, calling on the unit to successfully carry out the President's behests and demonstrate its might as an ever-victorious contingent.
    He acquainted himself with the unit's performance of duty before watching the training of its servicepersons.
    He set forth the tasks to be tackled by the unit to increase its combat capability, satisfied to learn that the commanding officers and men of the unit are possessed of military technique and combat capability through their tireless training and performing their guard duties in a tense and mobilized posture in a responsible manner.
    He was glad to meet with the soldiers with whom he had become acquainted on his way to inspect the front more than ten years back and congratulated them on having grown to be competent commanding officers of the KPA.
    Walking in the compound of the barracks clad in thick verdure of trees of various species, he learned about the management of the unit.
    He highly praised the servicepersons of the unit for having set an example in managing the unit, greatly pleased to know that they have planted a lot of trees of good species and tended them with good care, creating a thick woodland and keeping the barracks and their compound neat and tidy.
    One can see such majestic appearance of regular forces wherever KPA soldiers are posted, he said, adding this signal change is the precious fruition of ardent patriotism displayed by the soldiers in the era of Songun.
    Looking round entertainment, educational and supply service facilities, he praised the unit for having provided the soldiers with good living conditions.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong.
