   Pyongyang, July 11 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 280.
    He went round the room devoted to the history of the unit, being conducted by its commander.
    Noting that the unit, which grew up to be a-match-for-a hundred combat ranks under the wise leadership and loving care of the party and the leader, has fully displayed the heroic spirit of the Korean People's Army in the defence of the country and socialist construction, he highly appreciated the shining feats performed by the unit.
    He dropped in at the military lecture room to learn about the training of commanding officers.
    He put forward the tasks to be fulfilled by the unit to boost its combat capability, expressing satisfaction over the fact that it has conducted effective training to increase the operation commanding ability, thereby preparing all its commanding officers as stalwart fighters who have great ability to skillfully organize and command any difficult combat duties in a modern warfare.
    After learning about how the unit is fulfilling its duty and how it is keeping combat and technical equipment, he praised the servicepersons of the unit for performing their combat duties with vigilance, keenly watching every movement of the enemy, and at the same time, prizing and handling the weapons of the revolution like the apple of their eyes.
    Then he went round the servicepersons' hall, a library and other entertainment and educational facilities to learn about how a political work is conducted among servicepersons.
    Greatly pleased to learn that the unit has dynamically conducted political and ideological education by using diverse educational materials, thus training servicepersons into fighters strong in idea and conviction who have unshakable faith and sense of obligation towards the party and the leader, he stressed that the Juche-oriented theory of ideology serves as a militant banner to be held aloft by the KPA at all times.
    Then he took deep care of the living of its servicepersons, making the rounds of a bedroom, mess hall, wash-cum-bath house, non-staple food store and other supply service facilities.
    He spared time to watch a performance given by servicepersons of a company of the unit. He congratulated them on their successful performance, expressing great satisfaction over the fact that the servicepersons of the company are living in a revolutionary manner full of optimism and joy.
    He had a picture taken with servicepersons of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Kim Myong Guk.
