After inspecting the construction site, the Commander of Military Region 5 stated that despite the narrow terrain in many areas, the difficulty in transporting materials, and frequent rain, the units have proactively overcome these challenges to ensure construction proceeds on schedule and to the required quality standards. To date, most housing construction sites have completed the foundation work and are moving on to the next stages according to the design.

Lieutenant General Le Ngoc Hai emphasized: "Up to this point, units within the Military Region and units of the Ministry of National Defense have simultaneously commenced construction. The armed forces of the Military Region strive to complete at least 50% of the houses assigned by the local authorities by January 15, 2026, to soon provide safe housing for the people."

At the construction sites, the Commander of Military Region 5 requested that the forces continue to maintain the construction pace, strictly adhere to technical and aesthetic standards, and be determined to hand over the houses to the people before the Lunar New Year 2026.

Following the directives of the Prime Minister and the Ministry of National Defense, the 5th Military Region Command quickly established hundreds of mobile construction teams to deploy to localities to rebuild houses for the people.
