The exercise was attended and directed by Deputy Chief of the General Staff of the Vietnam People’s Army Senior Lieutenant General Huynh Chien Thang, and Commander of Military Region 1 Lieutenant General Nguyen Hong Thai.

The drill was themed “Shifting the provincial armed forces to higher combat readiness postures, the locality to national defense posture, organizing, preparing, and conducting defensive operations.”

During the event, leadership and commanding capability of local party committee and authorities was enhanced while relevant agencies, departments and units heightened high sense of responsibility and concentration.

Also in this exercise, participating forces closely followed the real situation of the locality and the nature and duties of each department, promoted creativity, activeness, flexibility and close collaboration, strictly observed discipline, and maintained security and order.

Attentively, live-fire forces ensured absolute safety of personnel and materiel.
