   Pyongyang, August 1 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 1622.
    He dropped in at the training hall to acquaint himself with the training of servicepersons of the unit.
    He set forth tasks to be fulfilled by the unit to further increase its combat capability, expressing satisfaction over the fact that the commanding officers and men of the unit have grown to be a-match-for-a hundred fighters by undergoing effective trainings, pursuant to the WPK's policy of training.
    He saw the positive examples set by officers, commissioned officers and soldiers who distinguished themselves in training and highly appreciated the shining feats they have performed by exerting great efforts for training.
    Noting that all the servicepersons of the unit could possess a high level of military technology and combat capability as it has paid primary attention to the training, he said intensifying the training provides a sure guarantee for boosting the combat capability of the unit.
    After acquainting himself with the work conducted by the unit to turn the areas around the unit into a thick woodland and greenery, he praised it for having created a large area of forest and tended it with good care and highly appreciated patriotism displayed by its servicepersons.
    He took deep care of its soldiers' service and living, making the rounds of an education room, bedroom, mess hall, non-staple food store, wash-cum-bath house, barber's and other entertainment and educational and supply service facilities.
    He learned about the quality of the CDs shown on a TV screen and the use of entertainment equipment and expressed satisfaction over the fact that the unit has provided the soldiers with good conditions for a cultural and emotional life.
    He called on the commanding officers of the unit to pay deep attention to the living of the soldiers, always bearing deep in mind the teaching of President Kim Il Sung that supply service precisely means a political work, and indicated ways to do so.
    He gave the servicepersons of the unit a pair of binoculars, a machine gun and an automatic rifle as gifts and had a photo session with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
