Second-in-Command Officer of the La Ee commune Military Command A Dih Yen held that the standing militia force’s members are from the Co Tu and Gie Trieng ethnic minority groups. They all want to protect their homeland so that local people can promote farming and raising livestock. All of them voluntarily join the force, contributing to ensuring local social order and security.
According to Jo Ram Huan, Party Secretary and Political Officer of the La Ee commune Military Command, La Ee is a border commune located in the Western region of Nam Giang district, bordering Dak Don and Dak Dieng villages in Dak Chung district, Sekong province, Laos. There are many challenges and difficulties facing the locality.
With high determination, over the past time, the La Ee commune Military Command has closely coordinated with local public security force and the La Ee Border Post to conduct patrols.
They also regularly assist local people in repairing houses, building concrete roads, installing light poles, and harvesting rice. Ms. Dinh Thi Huong, a resident of Dak Ngol village, La Ee commune said that when recent Typhoon Trami passed through, the militiamen supported her family to repair house and clean the environment, helping them overcome consequences of the natural disaster.
Lieutenant Colonel Tran Van Hong, Political Commissar of the Nam Giang district Military Command, underscored that Nam Giang district has six communes, including La Dee, La Ee, Cho Chun, Dak Pring, Dak Pre, and Dak Toi, with a shared borderline of 70 kilometers in length. In recent years, with the support of leaders at higher levels, the headquarters of military commands in the border communes have been upgraded to ensure living and working conditions for the standing militia force.
These meaningful activities have encouraged them to accomplish all assigned missions, contributing to building a firm borderline.
