In 2025, the Hanoi Capital Command has pro-actively given suggestions to the city’s authorities, contributing to the city’s comprehensive implementation and performance of local military and defense tasks according to the set plans. Its affiliates have strictly observed combat readiness regulations, kept a close watch on situational development, and coordinated forces to ensure absolute security and safety for more than 1,000 major events of the Party, State, and other assigned targets in the area. Notably, they have actively participated in disaster prevention and relief efforts, organized training sessions and exercises, and met its recruitment quotas.
