Hanoi’s district conducts defensive area exercise
PANO - A one-side, two level defense area exercise with partial use of actual forces was conducted on July 28 by Ba Dinh district’s Party and People’s Committees and People’s Council.
The two-day exercise included three tactical stages: in the first stage, participating units were shifted to the highest level of combat readiness posture and defense status; in the second one, defense tactics were mapped out; and in the last one, defense tactics were operated.
As part of the exercise, the participants practiced attacking terrorists, rescuing hostages, overcoming consequences and conducted fire prevention and fighting.
The exercise aimed to raise commanding capacity of Party committees at all levels, management ability of all-level authorities and to bring into play the staff role on defense-security implementation of relevant departments, fatherland fronts, unions, and socio-political organizations.
It was also to evaluate the determination, defensive plans, commanding capacity and combat readiness ability of the district’s armed forces in defensive building and operation.
Its outcomes will contribute to perfecting the district’s plans to consolidate the posture of people’s war, improve defense and security potential to meet the national protection requirements in the current period.
