Essentially, this amounts to the authorities laying the groundwork to prevent potential corruption and other illegal behavior.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;The authorities are urging the new officers to respond vigilantly to even the slightest phenomena or factors that harm the unity of the party and revolutionary ranks or destroy the one-hearted unity of the army through the party&#8217;s military control system. They are also calling on soldiers to wage an intensive struggle against such phenomena, encouraging them to do a good job in Pyongyang just as they did when they were tightening their belts on the frontlines,&#8221; the source said.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;[The authorities] don&#8217;t usually make major personnel moves in March, the last month of winter training, but this year they are bringing up-and-coming officers in the logistics sector to Pyongyang and repeatedly urging them to do their best to supply the rear of the military,&#8221; the source said. &#8220;I think this reflects the leadership&#8217;s desire for officials to pay special attention to the logistics of the Korean People&#8217;s Army, which is in charge of both war preparations and economic construction.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><em>Translated by David Black.
