His assumption of the supreme commandership provided a decisive guarantee for our revolutionary armed forces to steadily carry forward the history and tradition of victory while invariably preserving their true nature as the armed forces of the Party, the newspapers stress.

The papers laud the respected Comrade Kim Jong Un as a peerlessly brilliant commander who has developed the Juche-oriented revolutionary armed forces, founded by President Kim Il Sung and led by Chairman Kim Jong Il, into the world's strongest armed forces.

The past ten years were the days of great excitement and pride when the prominent personality of Kim Jong Un, a general of Mt Paektu-type, as a great man was demonstrated to the world and the period of upswing was opened up in strengthening the revolutionary armed forces under his energetic leadership, Rodong Sinmun says, and goes on:.

The history of his guidance over the revolutionary armed forces is run through with originality, scientific accuracy and sagacity for most perfectly settling all problems arising in army building and military activities from the point of a Juche-oriented view. Characterized by his warm love and deep trust in the servicepersons, the history is also an epic celebrating the legendary hero who has brought about epoch-making events of great significance in the Korean nation's history in the face of the worst difficulties. The brilliant military strategic idea, outstanding commanding art, profound humanity, matchless courage and pluck of Kim Jong Un constitute the fundamental sources that built the strongest national defence capability and turned the Juche-oriented revolutionary forces into the elite ones regarding it as their very lifeline and primary mission to defend the leader, the country, the social system and the people.

Led by him, our revolutionary armed forces have resolutely frustrated the hostile forces' reckless and frantic military provocations, honorably defended the destiny of the country and the people and the regional peace and security and firmly ensured the birth of a new era of self-respect and prosperity, an era of our state-first principle, by force of arms.

Minju Joson stresses that Kim Jong Un's assumption of the supreme commandership provided a decisive guarantee for firmly preserving the true nature of the People's Army as the revolutionary armed forces and for giving steady continuity to the history and traditions of invincibility of the great Kim Il Sung's and Kim Jong Il's Korea.
