The major floods in mid-November caused thousands of houses in Dak Lak province to have their roofs blown off, walls cracked, foundations broken, partially collapsed, or completely damaged. Faced with the difficulties and shortages of the people, the Party Committee and the Command of Military Region 5 promptly deployed nearly 8,000 officers and soldiers from the 2nd Division, the 315th Division, the Dak Lak Provincial Military Command, and other agencies and units to support local areas in overcoming the consequences of the natural disaster and helping people gradually stabilize their lives. After a week of actively implementing the "Quang Trung Campaign," many houses have had their foundations completed and are preparing to have walls built, bringing joy to the families.

Soldiers of the 315th Division (Military Region 5) are making efforts to speed up the construction of houses for households in Team 3, Phu Huu village (Hoa Thinh, Dak Lak).

At noon on December 8th, under the cold rain, Sergeant Tran Gia Loc and the members of the welding team of Regiment 95 (Division 2) were still working diligently. With their discharge date approaching, they were racing against time to help the people. Out of compassion for the soldiers' hard work, despite her advanced age and frail health, Mrs. Nguyen Thi Xuan (Phuoc Loc village, Xuan Phuoc commune) still managed to boil a pot of sticky corn and, leaning on her cane, brought it to the soldiers to share. Standing beside her dream house, which is about to take shape, Mrs. Xuan said: “My husband passed away early, and my children live far away, so for many years I've been all alone in my hometown. After the devastating flood, I was left with nothing, because all my fields, gardens, house, buffaloes, and cows were swept away. When I heard that the government was providing financial and labor support for my family to rebuild our house after the flood, I was so happy! According to the design, this is a dual-purpose house, capable of withstanding both floods and storms, with a floor area of ​​nearly 80 square meters , including a living room, bedroom, attic, kitchen, and outbuildings, all built very solidly and securely. Currently, the soldiers have finished the foundation and pillars and are preparing to build the walls. At this rate, in just over a month I will be able to move into my new house.”

In the communes of Xuan Phuoc, Tuy An Dong, Tuy An Bac, Dong Xuan, and Hoa Xuan (Dak Lak province), many residential areas are isolated, making transportation very difficult. In some cases, soldiers have to use wheelbarrows, modified carts, and stretchers to transport construction materials over distances of 2-3km. However, undeterred by hardship and danger, the officers and soldiers are determined to accelerate construction progress so that residents can move into their new homes sooner than planned.

Major Tran Anh Khoa, Deputy Political Commissar of Regiment 95 (Division 2), said: “From December 1st to 5th, the unit laid the foundations and started construction of 15 new houses for households in Dak Lak. For houses near main roads where motorized vehicles can access, we will assign 12-15 personnel per team. For households in remote areas, the construction force sometimes reaches nearly 30 people. To ensure that each step is solid and aesthetically pleasing, according to the assignment of the Regiment's commander, officers and soldiers of the Engineering Company will undertake the main and difficult tasks requiring high technical skills. Other personnel will participate in transporting materials, mixing mortar, digging foundations, cutting bricks, bending rebar, assembling formwork and scaffolding. On some days, the soldiers work continuously from 6 am to nearly 9 pm.”

Arriving at Team 3, Phu Huu village (Hoa Thinh, Dak Lak) at dusk, we were surprised by the progress of the construction of houses for flood victims by the officers and soldiers of the 315th Division. Pointing to a topographic map hanging in the tent, Lieutenant Colonel Vo Duc Cuong, Deputy Division Commander and Chief of Staff of the 315th Division, said: “After the floods, families whose houses were completely destroyed or partially damaged in Phu Huu and My Dien villages received support from the unit, including labor assistance, temporary housing, and a plan for house repairs. Therefore, when the 5th Military Region officially launched the “Quang Trung Campaign,” all tasks were implemented very quickly by the unit. Of the 16 houses directly constructed by the unit in Hoa Thinh, 9 are now preparing for roof construction. If the weather is favorable, it is expected that by mid-January 2026, some policy beneficiary families and vulnerable people will officially be moved in.” new house.

Traveling long distances to help flood-affected people, officers and staff from the General Staff, the Da Nang City Military Command, the Military School, the 15th Coffee Company (Military Region 5), the Defense Command of Area 2-Krong Buk, the Defense Command of Area 5-Dray Bhang, Regiment 584, Regiment 888 (Dak Lak Provincial Military Command) and other agencies and units in the Central and Central Highlands regions are also actively surveying, clearing land, and constructing houses for the people.

Visiting and encouraging the young soldiers participating in the "Quang Trung Campaign" in the area, Comrade Tran Van Bien, Chairman of the Tuy An Dong Commune People's Committee, expressed his gratitude: "Tuy An Dong is one of the localities most severely affected by the recent historic flood. Without the support from the central government, without the nationwide concern, and without the soldiers from all over coming to help, it would probably have taken a very long time for the people to stabilize their lives. Thanks to the soldiers, this Tet holiday, dozens of families in Tuy An Dong will be able to move into new homes, and hundreds of families will have their worries about the upcoming rainy season eased. Besides building and repairing houses for the people, in recent days, the soldiers have also organized visits and given gifts to policy beneficiary families and poor households, helped schools overcome the consequences of the floods, actively cleared drainage ditches, and carried out general cleaning on the roads. In times of hardship and difficulty, the soldiers are always a solid support for the people."

Implementing the "Quang Trung Campaign," swiftly building and repairing houses so that people in flood-prone areas could celebrate Tet and welcome the spring, the spirit of labor emulation is spreading across construction sites, carried out by the soldiers of Uncle Ho's army.
