Kim Jong Il Inspects KPA Reconnoitering Company

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

   Pyongyang, August 6 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected the Reconnoitering Company of KPA Unit 891.
    He took warm care of its soldiers' living, going round an education room, bedroom, mess hall, wash-cum-bath house, daily provision store, sports hall, military lecture room, outdoor resting place and other places of the company.
    He expressed great satisfaction over the fact that the company has built the exterior and interior of its barracks like a rest home and assiduously managed its economic life.
    He highly praised the feats performed by the commanding officers and men of the company, noting that they have made persevering efforts to spruce up their post with ardent patriotism, thereby arranging the area of the company and its surroundings in an admirable manner and tenaciously managing the company.
    Looking up to the 500-year-old Korean poplar standing in the compound of the barracks, he said it is a rare tree. He named the company which tended the tree with good care the Korean Poplar Company.
    Noting that all units including this company have brought about signal changes in the era of Songun, he said that these praiseworthy changes are the precious fruition of the noble patriotism displayed by the servicepersons of the People's Army. He added that noble, indeed, is the spiritual world of the KPA which fully inherited the ardent patriotism and revolutionary spirit of the anti-Japanese guerrillas.
    He watched the training of the soldiers of the company.
    He was greatly pleased to learn that all soldiers have grown to be indomitable fighters staunchly struggling for the security of the country and its people.
    Seeing the heaps of compost of grass collected by the company for the sideline farming next year, he praised it for having done a good job. The KPA is displaying the might of the revolutionary army capable of doing anything in the defence of the country and socialist construction and setting an example to be followed by society and playing a pioneer's role in idea, culture and all aspects of struggle and life, he stressed.
    He gave the servicemen of the company a pair of binoculars and an automatic rifle as gifts before having a photo session with them.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
