With the characteristics of being stationed in an area with many favorable and difficult conditions intertwined, the Party Committee and commander of Regiment 762 determined that TGSX is an important content in regular leadership, a practical solution to proactively source on-site logistics, reduce the cost burden and make the meals of officers and soldiers increasingly richer and of better quality.

Synchronized Leadership - Unlocking Internal Strength

The key to the success of the TGSX work at Regiment 762 is the close and comprehensive leadership and direction of the Party Committee and commanders at all levels. The Party Committee of the Regiment has issued a specialized Resolution, clearly defining the goals, targets and measures to implement TGSX in the direction of "concentration, fundamentality, efficiency and sustainability", at the same time thoroughly grasping and seriously implementing the QN-21 Military Logistics Project of the Army on "Improving the efficiency of increasing production and processing in the Army to ensure suitability, safety and sustainability in the period 2021-2025 and until 2030".

At the covered garden system of Regiment 762, green vegetable varieties are always intensively cultivated in alternating seasons.

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Van Chien, Political Commissar of Regiment 762, emphasized the pioneering role of the leader: “Leading TGSX must go hand in hand with practical action. The Party Committee and the Regiment commander determined that they must join in, both giving directions and rolling up their sleeves to set an example, and not leaving it all to the logistics agency or the grassroots unit. We pay special attention to education work, making officers and soldiers clearly realize that TGSX is not only the task of the logistics sector, but also the responsibility and practical benefit of each person. This is how we promote the spirit of self-reliance, self-improvement, turning vacant land into green vegetable gardens, and turning by-products into a source of animal feed.”

In fact, thanks to the close leadership, the TGSX planning work at Regiment 762 has been implemented methodically and scientifically . The entire Regiment, especially the subordinate units such as Battalion 40, has completed the planning of the TGSX model according to Project QN-21 in a reasonable and effective manner.

Practical effect - More complete meals

From policy to action, units of Regiment 762 have started to build and consolidate the TGSX model in a modern and sustainable direction. A typical example is the TGSX model at Battalion 40. With a total planned area of ​​up to 22,000m², the Battalion has scientifically arranged functional sub-areas: Growing vegetables, growing fruit trees, raising livestock, poultry, fish ponds, processing, and salt pressing.

Major Nguyen Huy Hung, Deputy Battalion Commander of Battalion 40, Regiment 762, shared the secret: “We have invested in renovating and building many important items. To ensure green vegetables all year round, the Battalion has built an additional modern greenhouse, helping to control weather conditions and prevent pests. The livestock area also has 3 newly built concentrated barns (pig barn, cow barn, poultry barn) in a closed process, ensuring environmental hygiene, facilitating disease prevention and control. This helps us proactively source good breeds, increase livestock productivity and ensure clean meat for the kitchen.”

The duck flock of Regiment 762 provides both eggs and fresh food for the soldiers.
The 762nd Regiment's poultry flock currently has nearly 1,600 heads.

Not only stopping at ensuring quantity, Regiment 762 also focuses on applying science and technology to improve quality. Major Le Duy Ha, Head of Logistics - Engineering of Regiment 762, shared: "We have carefully studied the soil and weather to choose a suitable crop and livestock structure, scientifically rotate crops, put high-yield vegetable, fruit tree and livestock varieties into production, ensuring that the unit regularly has vegetables - tubers - fruits to harvest to serve the soldiers' meals, avoiding surplus and shortage."

The good news is that the TGSX work is always closely linked with the emulation movement "Building a green, clean, beautiful unit" and building a "Model TGSX Area". Vegetable gardens and barns not only bring economic efficiency, but also contribute to creating a beautiful landscape, a healthy living and working environment for officers and soldiers.

The efforts in the TGSX work have brought about clear and practical results, contributing to significantly improving the material and spiritual life of the troops. Currently, Regiment 762 has been 100% self-sufficient in the quantity of green vegetables according to standards, self-sufficient in the majority of the quantity of poultry and fish, with the price of the kitchen always being 10 to 15% cheaper than the market price. This allows the Regiment to regularly improve the quality of meals for the troops according to the standards, ensuring adequate nutrition, enhancing health for the troops to complete training tasks well, ready for combat. From TGSX products, the Regiment's processing area also actively makes auxiliary products such as ham, tofu and various kinds of salted vegetables, tubers and fruits, contributing to diversifying the menu, bringing a family flavor to the unit's meals.

Regiment 762 uses 100% biological pesticides.

Major Nguyen Huy Hung added: “Thanks to the fresh, clean food source on site, the unit's healthy population ratio is always maintained at a high level. TGSX is also a form of training, creating an atmosphere of solidarity and cohesion, helping officers and soldiers have more time to relax after stressful training hours. More importantly, the soldiers themselves make the food, and they enjoy it, thereby feeling more attached to and loving the unit.”

The TGSX work at Regiment 762 has promoted internal strength, self-reliance, self-improvement, and effectively implemented the emulation movement "The Army Logistics Sector follows Uncle Ho's teachings". The gardens, fish ponds, and barns are not only places to produce food, but also places to educate and train the qualities and will of officers and soldiers. With steady, scientific, and effective steps, Regiment 762 is continuing to build an increasingly strong unit, excellently completing key political tasks, and deserving to be a bright spot in the logistics work of the armed forces of Thanh Hoa province.
