In 1999, after graduating from Vinhempich Military Technical College (now the Military Technical Officer School - Tran Dai Nghia University), Hoang Dinh Hinh was assigned to Brigade 40. Given the harsh climate of the Central Highlands and the Brigade's diverse and outdated vehicle equipment, which was quickly deteriorating and lacking standardization, Hinh was deeply concerned and strived to find solutions to help ensure good technical maintenance, overcome difficulties in spare parts and repairs, and support the unit's training, mobility, and combat readiness.
There were nights he stayed up all night, voluntarily working overtime on days off and holidays to find solutions to technical problems arising from the unit's training, drills, and long marches. With a high sense of responsibility and a passion for research and innovation, Major Hoang Dinh Hinh has made many initiatives that contribute to ensuring the unit's vehicle and machinery maintenance, typical examples include: a training course on Road Traffic Law; a device for testing the electrical system for firing BM-21 artillery; a training model for the electrical system on military vehicles; and a device for testing and adjusting the compressed air pressure regulator for air compressor systems...
What is truly admirable about Major Hoang Dinh Hinh is that he not only actively researches and innovates in his field of work, but also finds ways to overcome any technical difficulties his unit and soldiers face during missions. Major Hoang Dinh Hinh recounted: "During training exercises and live firing drills with my unit, I noticed that when deploying artillery positions, soldiers have to drive stakes to securely fix the artillery carriages, so retrieving the artillery takes a lot of time and effort digging and pulling out the stakes. To reduce the soldiers' workload and ensure timely completion of missions, I successfully researched and manufactured a device for pulling out the stakes securing the artillery. The operating principle of this device is similar to a jack, with a clamp to pull up the stakes, helping soldiers retrieve the artillery quickly, without much effort or requiring many people to operate. This innovation has been applied in the artillery forces of the 3rd Army Corps and some artillery units throughout the army."
With a spirit of diligent work, creativity, and high responsibility, and having excellently completed his duties, Major Hoang Dinh Hinh was awarded the title of Emulation Soldier of the entire army in 2020, received a Certificate of Commendation from the Minister of National Defense in 2017, and a Certificate of Commendation from the Command of the 3rd Army Corps for his achievements in scientific research, initiatives, and technical improvements...
