It has been reported that the Border Guard General Bureau of the Ministry of State Security is checking the readiness of border guards ahead of regular synchronous training starting December 1.
On the 20th, a Daily NK Ryanggang Province source said, “The Border Guard General Bureau of the Ministry of State Security is holding a subordinate office to understand the state of readiness ahead of the first military-wide combat and political training, which begins on December 1. “We are conducting large-scale inspections of border guard brigades,” he said.
Notification of the inspection was issued on the afternoon of the 14th, and according to this, the 25th Border Guard Brigade stationed in Ryanggang Province will reportedly be inspected for five days from the 18th to the 22nd.
In this inspection, a comprehensive ideological and material inspection is conducted, including whether there are any loopholes in the training and combat readiness of each unit and how well prepared they are.
The source said, “First of all, the policy is to find out the extent to which soldiers are ideologically and mentally equipped,” and added, “The inspection will be conducted to determine the extent to which loyalty to the party and leader and class education are being carried out through lectures and studies in the political department of each unit.” “We plan to dig into it,” he said.
Sources say that the Border Guard Bureau began censoring ideology because it believed that the strong military spirit that was disappearing amidst the increasingly worsening situation could have a negative impact on national security.
In addition, this inspection also includes a general inspection of the extent to which material preparations, such as weapons, ammunition, fuel, and rear supplies, are well prepared.
It is said that at the time of the inspection notification, the General Border Guard Bureau emphasized that units with material preparedness problems and responsible executives of such units should be prepared to be strongly investigated and punished.
Accordingly, the 25th Border Guard Brigade ordered its regiments and battalions to inspect their weapons depots and ammunition depots and prepare their management status appropriately for inspection, and asked them to be especially careful not to receive a poor evaluation in this inspection.
The source said that the units, which were fired up by this, took out all the weapons left in the arsenals, overhauled them, and took steps to solve the problem of insufficient fuel, putting great effort into making sure that not a single defect was visible.
