DPRK Servicepersons in Full Combat Readiness
Pyongyang, August 27 (KCNA) -- The men and officers of the Korean People's Army are taking a combat posture as remarked by Marshal Kim Jong Un, KPA supreme commander, in a banquet arranged in celebration of the anniversary of leader Kim Jong Il's start of the Songun (military-first) revolutionary leadership (August 25).

The U.S. and south Korean regime, disregarding the DPRK's warning, kicked off the Ulji Freedom Guardian joint military drill to create a touch-and-go situation in the Korean Peninsula.

Kim Jong Un's inspection tours of frontline units encourage servicepersons when the security of the country and the people is jeopardized seriously.

His inspection tours of the southwest front and east front make service personnel harden their determination to mercilessly deal an annihilating blow to the provokers.

A KPA officer, Rim Kwang Il, told KCNA:

"The Supreme Commander issued an order that if the enemies drop even a single shell on our inviolable territory and territorial waters, the KPA should deal prompt deadly blows at them and the whole army should turn out as one and lead the battle to an all-out counter-offensive for accomplishing the great cause of national reunification. And he examined an operational plan for implementing it and finally signed it.

The men and officers of our unit are now ready for action to cope with the reckless war provocation moves of the U.S. imperialists and the south Korean puppet regime.

One must draw the line somewhere.

We will never remain onlookers to their reckless moves of aggression.

I will devote myself to defending the headquarters of our revolution, the destiny of the country and the nation.

Only victory and glory are in store for us advancing under the immortal banners bearing portraits of smiling President Kim Il Sung and leader Kim Jong Il."
