   Pyongyang, August 14 (KCNA) -- General Secretary Kim Jong Il inspected KPA Unit 1319.
    He was greeted on the spot by commanding officers of the unit.
    He dropped in at a military lecture room and acquainted himself with its use before watching the training of soldiers.
    After learning about how the unit was implementing its training program, he underlined the need to organize effective training to suit the specific conditions so that all the soldiers might acquire a high level of military technique and combat capability.
    Seeing the green foliage formed by trees of various species in the compound of the barracks and the nearby mountains, he said that this vividly reflected ardent patriotism of the soldiers. He appreciated the efforts made by the soldiers of the unit to plant and tend a lot of trees every year to create thick forests.
    At any unit one may visits, one may learn about the laudable feat it performed by radically changing the looks of posts and their surroundings through a dynamic drive to spruce up mountains and rivers of the country to look more beautiful, he said, adding that the soldiers of the KPA are playing a vanguard role in turning the country into a thick woodland and greenery, keenly aware that the country is dearer to them than anything else.
    Then he went round an education room, a bedroom, a mess hall, a wash-cum-bath house and a daily provision store of Hero Kwon Il Nam Company and other places of the unit.
    He acquainted himself in detail with all aspects of the life of the soldiers.
    He praised the unit for having successfully built supply service facilities to the convenience of the soldiers in their living and stressed the need for all the commanding officers to provide better living conditions to the soldiers devoting themselves to the security of the country and the people.
    He had a photo session with the servicepersons of the unit.
    He was accompanied by KPA Generals Hyon Chol Hae and Ri Myong Su.
