The structure theorem for completely 0-simple semigroups established by Rees [5] in 1940 has proved a very powerful tool in the investigation of such semigroups. In this paper the theorem is applied to an investigation of the subsemigroup of a completely 0-simple semigroup generated by its idempotents. Previous work on this problem has been carried out by Kim [4], but the present note offers a more direct approach.
