Ensure a solid defense zone in all situations

(GLO)- From October 15-17, the Gia Lai Provincial Military Command successfully organized a one-sided, one-level Command and Staff Exercise on the map. Gia Lai is the first locality among the five provinces and cities of Military Region 5 to complete the exercise, contributing to ensuring a solid defense area in all situations.

The 1-sided, 1-level Command and Staff Exercise on the map is carried out in 3 phases. Phase 1 implements the transfer of armed forces into combat readiness states; the staff transfers localities into defense states. Phase 2 implements the organization of defensive combat preparations. Phase 3 practices defensive combat.

The exercise aims to train and test command capacity, staff capacity and coordination between agencies and units when implementing two-level local government. At the same time, it verifies the protection plan, ensuring the defense area is secure in all situations.

A conference passed a resolution to put the exercise on full combat alert.

This year's exercise was held in the context of many changes in national defense missions, placing higher demands on staff and command capacity and coordination between agencies and units. After the merger of district and commune-level administrative units, Gia Lai province's terrain became larger, more diverse and more complex, stretching from the land border to the sea border area.

The change in management scale poses many new requirements in the organization of command, operation and national defense and security, requiring military agencies at all levels to promptly adjust and supplement plans suitable to the actual situation. Therefore, this year's exercise has a particularly important meaning: it is both an opportunity to train and test staff and command capacity; and a step to verify the effectiveness and coordination ability between agencies and units in the conditions of the newly expanded area after the merger.

At each stage of the exercise, agencies and units in the provincial armed forces quickly began practicing the contents according to the plan. Each officer and soldier upheld the sense of responsibility, strictly followed discipline, and promoted initiative and creativity in each step of handling situations. The plans and strategies were reviewed, supplemented, and ensured to be tight, close to reality, and suitable to the characteristics of the province's defense tasks.

The leaders of the Provincial Military Command listened to the agencies report and propose changing the combat readiness status.
