In particular, more than five decades ago, to meet the revolution’s requirements, Artillery Regiment 40 (present Artillery Brigade 40) was formed in Dak Blo commune, Dak Glei district, Kon Tum province. The establishment of the brigade marked a new development of regular force in Central Highlands.
