    Pyongyang, December 3 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected the drill ground of KPA Unit 132. He looked round training apparatuses and facilities of the unit before watching the tactical training of commanding officers in the military lecture room. He was pleased to learn that the commanding officers of the unit have been trained as able officers who have acquired high operation commanding capability to successfully carry out the WPK's Juche-oriented military strategy by putting the training on a scientific and regular basis.
    He mounted an observation platform to watch soldiers' training. He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that all the commanding officers and soldiers have been fully prepared as a-match-for-a hundred fighters. He highly appreciated the success made by them in training and set forth important tasks which would serve as guidelines in bolstering the People's Army as invincible revolutionary armed forces.
    Our commanding officers and soldiers have built up Herculean strength to win one victory after another, he said, adding that no force on earth can match the KPA. Noting that the servicepersons of the unit have very strong enthusiasm for training, he underscored the need for the unit to pay primary attention to the combat and political training at all times, bearing deep in mind that the basic way of building up the matchless strength of the army, the master key to training soldiers as a-match-for-a hundred fighters is to intensify the above-said training.
    He took deep care of the soldiers' living, going round an education room, field quarters, mess hall, service facilities, a barn and various other places of the drill ground. He highly appreciated the efforts made by the unit, saying it is very good that it has successfully built the drill ground for satisfactorily ensuring various forms of training and entertainment, educational and supply service facilities, in particular, so that the soldiers in field training may not feel any slightest inconvenience in living. The servicepersons of the KPA are leading a well-regulated life by keeping their camping site neat and tidy even though they spend a single night, he said, adding that this clearly shows the strong discipline and inexhaustible mental power of the KPA, heir to the glorious traditions of the Anti-Japanese Guerrilla Army. He gave servicepersons of the unit a pair of binoculars, a machinegun and an automatic rifle as gifts and had a photo session with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Ri Myong Su, Hyon Chol Hae and Pak Jae Gyong and Vice Department Director of the WPK Central Committee Hwang Pyong So.
