Promoting the role of political nucleus

Brigade 649 (Brigade) is tasked with strategic water transport to serve the combat readiness and combat of units throughout the army. The task requires absolute loyalty, discipline, and a high sense of responsibility from each officer and soldier. Therefore, political and ideological education in the unit is always considered important by the Brigade Party Committee. The Party Committee, Party committees at all levels, and Party cells have thoroughly grasped and strictly implemented the resolutions, directives, and regulations of the superior Party Committees on ideological and political work. Implementing the Project "Innovation of political education work in the unit in the new period", the Brigade has completed 100% of the content and program of political education and annual dissemination of legal education to the subjects with high quality and efficiency.

To ensure that the ideology of the unit's cadres and soldiers is always steadfast, the Party Committee of Brigade 649 thoroughly grasps and strictly implements Conclusion No. 01-KL/TW dated May 18, 2021 of the Politburo on continuing to promote the study and following of Ho Chi Minh's ideology, morality and style and "self-examination" and "self-correction" in the spirit of the resolutions and conclusions of the 4th Central Conference of the 11th, 12th and 13th terms on Party building and rectification and the political system; Resolution No. 847-NQ/QUTW dated December 28, 2021 of the Central Military Commission on promoting the qualities of "Uncle Ho's soldiers", resolutely fighting against individualism in the new situation and Regulation No. 144-QD/TW dated May 9, 2024 of the Politburo on revolutionary ethical standards of cadres and party members in the new period. Every year, the Party Committee directs units to develop plans; Cadres, party members and the masses write a commitment to strive, cultivate and train; maintain monthly self-criticism associated with the performance of assigned duties and tasks.

The Party Committee and its subordinate Party cells proactively grasp, manage and resolve well the ideological situation of the unit's officers and soldiers. In early 2025, the unit implemented a plan to reorganize and streamline the organization and apparatus. Colonel Tran Van Minh, Party Committee Secretary and Political Commissar of the Brigade, said that with the motto "ideological work goes one step ahead", the Party Committee and Brigade commanders stepped up propaganda and dissemination to officers and soldiers of the Party's and Central Military Commission's policies and resolutions on reorganizing and streamlining the organization and apparatus in the army; emphasizing the necessary purposes and requirements to build a lean, compact and strong army to meet the requirements of the new situation. During the reorganization process, Party committees and Party cells increased meetings, exchanges, and grasped the thoughts and aspirations of officers and soldiers, thereby building a plan to arrange and assign tasks appropriately.

At the same time, the Brigade Party Committee focused on implementing the directives and instructions of the superiors on emulation and reward work; closely combining the implementation of the Emulation Movement to Win with the emulation movements of all levels and sectors, campaigns, peak emulation periods, surprise emulation, and seminars on important political events of the Party, the country, and the army. The unit's cadres and soldiers enthusiastically responded and participated. At the propaganda contest on promoting the qualities of "Uncle Ho's soldiers" resolutely fighting against individualism in the new situation organized by the Department of Motorcycles and Transport, the unit won first prize.

The solutions of the 649th Brigade Party Committee have contributed to raising the awareness and ideology of the cadres and soldiers, contributing to the successful completion of the set goals and tasks. Up to now, the unit has stabilized its organization and apparatus; 100% of the cadres and soldiers are steadfast, determined, and make efforts in their work; and have successfully completed many tasks such as combat readiness and military transportation. The Brigade Party Committee is strong in politics, ideology, ethics, organization, and cadres; the unit is strong in all aspects.

Actively master new means of transport

Mastering modern transportation techniques and means is an important task of the unit, which officers and soldiers are unanimous in striving for from thought to action. In early 2025, the unit was equipped with the 51-11-86 Military Transport Ship, with a capacity of 3,000 tons and many new features and modern technology. Immediately after receiving it, the Brigade soldiers actively studied and mastered the use of the vehicle. This success was contributed by the Logistics-Technical Department, a newly established unit when merging the Logistics Department and the Technical Department. Lieutenant Colonel Pham Van Chung, Political Commissar and Party Secretary of the 51-11-86 Ship, said that because the instruction documents were mainly in foreign languages, the Party cell encouraged and created conditions for officers and soldiers to study and improve their foreign language skills. Thanks to that, the soldiers of Ship 51-11-86 quickly approached and grasped specialized techniques in operating equipment, ensuring safety during operations.

Also thanks to the attention and encouragement of the Party Committee and unit commanders, many officers and soldiers are passionate about researching and improving techniques, becoming advanced models in the entire army. Senior Lieutenant Pham Van Tu, Ship Engineering Assistant, Logistics-Engineering Department, confided that the vibrant competitive environment of studying and improving technical skills at the unit has motivated him and his teammates to research and innovate. He boldly took the lead directly as the Chief, and together with the innovation team, completed many useful topics and initiatives, winning the Army's Creative Youth Awards. The spirit of studying and scientific research of officers and soldiers has contributed to meeting the requirements of mastering modern means and techniques to serve the army's strategic transport work in the new situation.

From the experience in ideological work, the Party Committee of Brigade 649 determined that in the 2025-2030 term, it will continue to be determined to build a strong Party Committee and Brigade that is comprehensive, "exemplary and typical". The Party Committee of the Brigade set a target of 100% of officers and soldiers having strong political will, ready to receive and complete all assigned tasks. Strive for 100% of units under the Brigade to meet the standards of an absolutely safe political unit in order to contribute to building a politically strong army; maintaining the ideological position in the army, laying the foundation for building a strong, disciplined and modern unit.
