Major Le Manh Hung, Captain of Production and Political Base Construction Team No. 3 (Team 3), shared that Dao San commune (Lai Chau province) has high mountainous terrain, harsh climate, little arable land, and difficult transportation, so to help people, first of all, we must find a suitable livelihood so that people have food and clothing, and then feel secure in staying in the village. From that thought, the officers and staff of Team 3, together with the local Party Committee and government, discussed and surveyed each area of ​​land and each production habit to guide the people.

The team has implemented many specific models such as raising buffalo, cows, and horses for breeding; raising fattening cattle, black pigs, and commercial rabbits; growing orchids, ornamental peach trees, and medicinal plants, which are suitable for the soil and bring high income. Not only providing breed support, the team also opens training classes, sends cadres to each village, holds hands, guides on care techniques, disease prevention, and implements models.

At the same time, the Team regularly coordinated to effectively implement the program "Army officers and soldiers help children go to school" and the models: "Hot rice for children to go to school", "Adopted children of production teams and agencies". In 2025 alone, the Team mobilized and contributed nearly 5 tons of rice to support 341 students at 12 schools. In addition, the Team also adopted Phung Thi Mai, a 7th grade student living in Lung Than village, Dao San commune.

The practical models and activities have been effectively implemented, making people trust the army more and more. On that basis, the Team proactively coordinated with Dao San commune and villages and hamlets in the area to effectively implement Project 1371 "Promoting the role of the People's Army in participating in the dissemination and education of law, mobilizing people to comply with the law at the grassroots level in the period of 2021-2027" and Project 57 "The Army participates in propagating and mobilizing ethnic minorities to actively fight to defeat the plots and tricks of hostile forces to divide the great national unity bloc in the new situation".

Actively participate in building local political bases, helping the Party Cells of Xi Phai and Sin Chai villages (Dao San commune) improve the quality of mass mobilization, develop party members, party cell activities, and improve the leadership and direction capacity of the party organization.

Thanks to that, the people have had a better life, abandoned many backward customs, stayed in the village and border, and have more trust in the Army, in the Party's guidelines and policies, and the State's policies and laws."

From there, it issued resolutions, plans, and coordination regulations that closely followed the characteristics and tasks; directed agencies and units to proactively coordinate with local Party committees, authorities, agencies, departments, and branches to regularly exchange information, forecast, correctly assess the situation, and promptly handle issues arising in the area. Thanks to such close leadership, Economic-Defense Group 356 completed 10/11 targets set out in the Congress resolution for the 2020-2025 term, including many outstanding results. Party building work was deployed synchronously, admitting 15 party members, exceeding the set target by 25%; there were no weak party organizations. The work of managing, educating and training party members was carried out seriously, ensuring the correct principles; the leadership capacity and fighting strength of the party organization and the contingent of cadres and party members were significantly improved.
