In the great flood in mid-November, thousands of houses in Dak Lak province had their roofs blown off, walls cracked, foundations broken, partially collapsed or completely damaged. In response to the difficulties and deprivation of the people, the Party Committee and the Military Region 5 Command promptly mobilized nearly 8,000 officers and soldiers of Division 2, Division 315, the Dak Lak Provincial Military Command and other agencies and units to support localities in overcoming the consequences of natural disasters, helping people gradually stabilize their lives. After a week of actively implementing the "Quang Trung Campaign", many houses have completed the foundation and are preparing to put up walls, in the joy of the families.

Soldiers of Division 315 (Military Region 5) are making efforts to speed up the construction progress of houses for households in Team 3, Phu Huu village (Hoa Thinh, Dak Lak). |
At noon on December 8, in the cold rain, Sergeant Tran Gia Loc and members of the welding team of Regiment 95 (Division 2) were still working diligently. The time of demobilization was near, they were racing against time to help the people. Loving the soldiers, despite her old age and weak health, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Xuan (Phuoc Loc village, Xuan Phuoc commune) still took the time to boil a pot of sticky corn and then used a cane to bring it to the soldiers to treat them. Standing next to her dream house that was about to take shape, Mrs. Xuan said: “My husband died early, and my children live far away, so for many years I have been alone in my hometown. After the flood, I was left with nothing, because all my fields, houses, buffaloes and cows were swept away. When I heard that my family received financial and labor support from the State to rebuild the house after the flood, I was very happy! According to the design, this is a dual-purpose house, capable of both flood and storm resistance, with a floor area of nearly 80 square meters , including a living room, bedroom, attic, kitchen, and ancillary works built very solidly and firmly. Currently, the army has completed the foundation, pillars and is preparing to build walls. At this rate, in just over a month I will be able to move to my new house.”
In the communes of Xuan Phuoc, Tuy An Dong, Tuy An Bac, Dong Xuan, Hoa Xuan (Dak Lak), there are many isolated residential areas with very difficult traffic. Some houses, soldiers had to use wheelbarrows, modified vehicles, and stretchers to transport construction materials over a distance of 2-3km. However, regardless of hardship and danger, officers and soldiers were determined to speed up the construction progress so that people could move to their new homes earlier than planned.
Major Tran Anh Khoa, Deputy Political Commissar of Regiment 95 (Division 2), said: “From December 1 to 5, the unit has broken ground and started construction of 15 new houses for households in Dak Lak. For houses near major roads, accessible by motor vehicles, we will arrange each team of 12-15 comrades. For households located in remote areas, the construction force can sometimes reach up to nearly 30 people. To ensure that the construction is solid and beautiful, according to the assignment of the Regiment commander, officers and soldiers of the Engineering Company will undertake the main tasks, the difficult tasks, requiring high technical skills. Other comrades will participate in transporting raw materials, mixing mortar, digging foundations, cutting bricks, bending iron, building formwork, and scaffolding. Some days, soldiers work continuously from 6am to nearly 9pm.”
Arriving at Team 3, Phu Huu village (Hoa Thinh, Dak Lak) when it was already dark, we were surprised by the progress of the construction of houses for people in the flood-affected areas by officers and soldiers of Division 315. Pointing to the topographic map hanging in the tent house, Lieutenant Colonel Vo Duc Cuong, Deputy Division Commander, Chief of Staff of Division 315 said: "After the flood, families whose houses were completely collapsed or partially damaged in Phu Huu village, My Dien were all supported by the unit, helped with working days, built temporary houses, and agreed on a plan to repair the houses for the people early. Therefore, when Military Region 5 officially launched the "Quang Trung Campaign", all the work was implemented very quickly by the unit. Of the 16 houses directly constructed by the unit in Hoa Thinh, up to now, 9 houses are preparing to be roofed. If the weather is favorable, it is expected that in mid-January 2026, some policy households and disadvantaged people will officially be able to move to the new houses. moved to a new home".
Traveling a long way to help people in flooded areas, officers and employees of the General Staff, Da Nang City Military Command, Military School, Coffee 15 Company Limited (Military Region 5), Defense Command of Area 2 - Krong Buk, Defense Command of Area 5 - Dray Bhang, Regiment 584, Regiment 888 (Dak Lak Provincial Military Command) and agencies and units in the Central Highlands are also actively surveying, clearing land, and building houses for people.
Visiting and encouraging young soldiers participating in the "Quang Trung Campaign" in the area, comrade Tran Van Bien, Chairman of Tuy An Dong Commune People's Committee, expressed his gratitude: "Tuy An Dong is one of the localities most severely damaged in the recent historic flood. Without the support of the Central Government, without the attention of the whole country, without soldiers from all over coming to help, it may take a long time for people to stabilize their lives. Thanks to the soldiers, this Tet, dozens of families in Tuy An Dong will be moved to new homes, hundreds of families will have less worries before the flood season. Not only building and repairing houses for households, in recent days, the soldiers have also organized visits and given gifts to policy families and poor households, helped schools overcome the consequences of floods, actively dredged sewers, and cleaned up the roads. In times of trouble and difficulty, the soldiers are always a solid support for the people."
Implementing the "Quang Trung Campaign", speeding up the construction and repair of houses so that people in the "flood center" can celebrate Tet and welcome spring, at construction sites, the spirit of labor competition is being spread by Uncle Ho's soldiers./.
