35 years ago, in the context of ammunition serving national defense mainly provided by the Soviet Union and socialist countries, diverse in types, many types were degraded, the need for maintenance, repair, and restoration became urgent to ensure safety and combat readiness. On November 20, 1990, Senior Lieutenant General Dao Dinh Luyen, Deputy Minister of National Defense signed Decision No. 271/QD-BQP approving the economic and technical justification for the establishment of the X265 Ammunition Repair Workshop, marking the birth of the unit. The workshop is responsible for repairing small ammunition of system 1 and system 2; building and repairing ammunition boxes for facilities and units in the Central region and performing a number of mobile tasks. Since then, November 20 every year has been identified as the Traditional Day of the X265 Workshop.
