The units strictly maintained combat readiness; proactively monitored, assessed, and accurately predicted the situation at sea; and promptly advised and effectively handled situations, preventing any passive or unexpected events. In the first six months of the year, the units deployed over 545 ships and boats to carry out missions to protect sovereignty , enforce the law; prevent and combat IUU (Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated) fishing; and conduct search and rescue operations, covering more than 323,000 nautical miles safely.

Units inspected 171 vessels, confiscated over 1 million liters of diesel fuel, nearly 1,000 tons of coal, and many other infringing items, with total fines exceeding 23 billion VND. Simultaneously, they coordinated the arrest of 18 cases/37 individuals involved in drug-related activities. They also received, coordinated, and verified 102 cases of maritime rescue and relief, safely rescuing 71 crew members and fishermen.

The Emulation Movement for National Defense is also linked to mass mobilization work, social welfare, and propaganda on the sea and islands. Units have effectively coordinated and organized programs such as "Coast Guard accompanying fishermen," "Coast Guard accompanying ethnic and religious communities," the "I love the sea and islands of my homeland" contest, and many practical social welfare activities. Through these efforts, they have disseminated legal information and combated IUU fishing to over 31,490 people; provided information to over 6,117 fishing vessels with 52,837 crew members; and donated over 4,100 national flags along with many gifts, scholarships, and bicycles to people and students in difficult circumstances.
