Innovation in organization and direction of rehearsals

The new feature in the training work of Military Region 5 is the innovation in organization and method of directing the exercise. If in the past, the situation and plan of the exercise were often built in advance in the style of "acting according to the direction", now the direction is according to the method of "directing according to the direction". That is, it is necessary to base on the fighting determination of the commander of the exercise unit to direct the situation so that it is close to the characteristics of the situation and the unit's tasks. This method not only contributes to improving the level and command and management capacity of the unit's cadres participating in the exercise but also improves the capacity of the agency conducting the exercise. On the other hand, to grasp the essence of the training work, the commanders of the agencies and units organize surprise and regular inspections, thereby frankly pointing out shortcomings and newly arising problems... on that basis, promptly propose directions and measures to overcome and completely resolve the weak points and weak aspects in the training work.

Field training combined with mass mobilization work

Imbued with the teachings of President Ho Chi Minh : “Mass mobilization is very important. If mass mobilization is poor, everything will be poor. If mass mobilization is skillful, everything will be successful”, in recent years, agencies and units of Military Region 5 have regularly coordinated with local Party committees and authorities to carry out mass mobilization work (CTDV) with creative measures, contributing to strengthening the solidarity between the army and the people, and training the style of revolutionary soldiers.

Every year, units organize for troops to conduct field training combined with service activities for one to two months. After completing the training content, units move on to service activities. Accordingly, officers and soldiers of the units directly go to each hamlet and village to propagate and mobilize people to understand the Party and State's consistent policies and guidelines, especially the ethnic and religious policies; promote the strength of national solidarity... Units perform well their advisory functions, propose policies and measures to build, consolidate and improve the effectiveness of the grassroots political system; focus on improving the leadership capacity and fighting strength of Party organizations, the administrative capacity of the government and the effectiveness of local socio-political organizations.

With the goal of focusing on difficult areas and building a solid "people's heart position", in recent years, agencies and units under the Military Region 5 have closely coordinated with local Party committees and authorities to synchronously and effectively deploy social security models aimed at people in difficult areas, remote areas, and ethnic minority areas to create a spread from the army to the people, successfully implementing the goal of "pacifying the people, grasping the people, winning and keeping the people". The Party Committee and the Military Region Command have had many creative and appropriate policies and measures, in which the most prominent are the policies to participate in "eliminating hunger and reducing poverty", building "rice jars for the poor", building pilot models of new rural construction that have been implemented by agencies and units with practical results, contributing to maintaining political stability in the area...
