Korean Central News Agency of DPRK via Korea News Service (KNS)

   Pyongyang, December 14 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected the Command of KPA Unit 255.
    He, conducted by the commander of the unit, went round the room devoted to the history of the unit.
    He said that the unit is a proud unit which has performed shining feats in the sacred struggle to defend the gains of socialism won by the Korean people at the cost of blood since the past Fatherland Liberation War.
    After acquainting himself with the unit's performance of duty, he dropped in at a military lecture room and learned about the training of its commanding officers.
    He praised the officers and men of the unit for having discharged their guard duty in a responsible manner and all commanding officers for having made strenuous efforts to acquire rich military knowledge, military technique and commanding ability and set forth the tasks to be fulfilled by the unit to increase its combat capacity.
    Going round a servicepersons' hall, a library and other entertainment and educational facilities, he acquainted himself with how the political work is conducted among servicepersons.
    He highly praised the unit for having conducted the revolutionary education and working class education in a unique manner and by various forms and methods to suit the characteristic features of servicepersons and established the habit of reading, in particular, to make all of them enthusiastic readers. He stressed the need to pay primary attention to the ideological education so that servicepersons may be fully prepared as ideologically strong fighters.
    Then, he took deep care of the living of the servicepersons, making the rounds of a bedroom, a kitchen, a wash-cum-bath house, a non-staple food store and other supply service facilities.
    He said that all the commanding officers should clearly understand the importance of the supply service and always pay deep attention to it and thus provide the best living conditions to the servicepersons standing guard over the defence line of the country everyday despite rain or snow to protect the security of the country and the people.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
