He emphasized that the high-level policy on military restructuring carries historic significance, marking a major adjustment in military organization aligned with contemporary realities and strategic thinking to meet the demands of national defense and Fatherland protection in the new era.
To ensure strict, synchronized, unified, and effective implementation of the policy, Gen. Giang instructed Party committees and command chains at all levels in MR2 to continue thoroughly implementing high-level policies and guidelines on streamlining the political system’s structure, reorganizing administrative units at all levels, and building a two-tier local government model. He called for a comprehensive review and proposals to improve the legal framework governing local military organization.
Speaking with the newly-established units, the defense chief noted that being entrusted with the “Determination-to-Win” flag, symbolizing the Vietnam People’s Army’s proud tradition of “Determined to Fight, Determined to Win,” represents both a great honor and a heavy responsibility for national defense. Therefore, MR2’s leadership, troops, and personnel must fully and correctly understand the significance of this reorganization and the requirements of their new missions.
