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

   Pyongyang, August 4 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 1366.
    After learning about the unit's performance of duty, he looked round the apparatuses contrived and manufactured by it on its own.
    It is gratifying that the unit manufactured various apparatuses helpful to increasing the combat capability by enlisting the wisdom and creative ingenuity of the commanding officers and men and are making a good use of them, he noted, highly appreciating the revolutionary spirit of self-reliance displayed by the unit.
    He was pleased to learn that the servicepersons of the unit are well versed in combat and technical equipment and prizing and handling weapons of the revolution like the apples of their eyes and creditably carrying out their tasks, firmly determined to defend the happiness of the people and the man-centred socialist system in the DPRK at the cost of their lives.
    While making the rounds of an education room, bedroom, mess hall, wash-cum-bath house, daily provision store and other entertainment, educational and supply service facilities, he paid deep attention to the service and living of the servicepersons.
    He highly appreciated the habit of reading prevalent in the unit, saying that only when one reads many books can one deeply grasp the Party line and policies and acquire wide-ranging and profound knowledge about politics, economy and culture.
    He praised the unit for having provided the soldiers with good living conditions by assiduously managing the economic life, underscoring the need for the commanding officers to always pay deep attention to the supply service, well aware of its importance, and thus provide them with the best living conditions as they are devoting themselves to protecting the security of the country and people.
    Seeing the imposing appearance of the unit's servicepersons, he said that voluntary and steel-strong discipline is the essential characteristics of a revolutionary army and a sure guarantee for boosting combat capability. He called for making sustained efforts to thoroughly establish revolutionary military discipline.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
