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

   Pyongyang, January 7 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 776 honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment.
    Kim Jong Il looked round the room dedicated to the history of the unit, guided by the commander of the unit.
    He underscored the need for the unit to continue exalting its honor as a guard unit, noting that the unit which has grown to be ranks of matchless fighters under the wise leadership and warm care of President Kim Il Sung is a unit of merits as it has performed proud feats in the defence of the country and socialist construction by displaying unparalleled patriotic devotion and popular heroism for the Party and the leader, the country and the people.
    After learning about the unit's performance of duty, he dropped in at an operational command room and military lecture rooms to acquaint himself with the training of its commanding officers. He set forth important tasks to be fulfilled by the unit to increase its combat capability in every way.
    Going round the servicepersons' hall and library and other cultural and educational facilities, he got familiar with the political work conducted among them.
    Then he took deep care of soldiers' living, looking round supply service facilities.
    He highly appreciated the successes made by the unit in the past, noting that the unit honored with the title of O Jung Hup-led 7th Regiment is a model not only in the combat and political training but in the establishment of military discipline and its management and in all other aspects.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He also inspected a sub-unit of the unit.
    After watching soldiers' training, he expressed satisfaction over the fact that its commanding officers and soldiers are undergoing intensive training to build up strength strong enough to beat any enemy. Training is the primary revolutionary task for the soldiers, he said.
    Then he took deep care of soldiers' service and living as a father would do, making the rounds of an educational room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a wash-cum-bath house, a non-staple food store, a barn and other places.
    He gave the servicepersons of the sub-unit a pair of binoculars, a machine gun and an automatic rifle as gifts and had a photograph taken with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su and Ri Yong Chol, first deputy department director of the C.C., WPK.
