At a refresher course on defense-security |
Under the guidance of the Ministry of National Defense, military units organized, managed, and effectively trained reserve forces; improved the quality of militia forces; and effectively promoted the role of Party organizations of the military commands at commune, ward, and township levels.
Military units have closely worked with local authorities to implement projects in building and developing militia forces in localities, particularly border and coastal ones.
In the period of 2015-2020, the whole military organized nearly 6,100 defense-security courses for about 504,000 trainees.
So far, the militia force, accounting for 1.5 percent of the population, is strictly managed and effectively trained by military commands at all levels, while Party cells of grassroots level military commands are strengthened.
The above achievements contribute to building the whole people’s defense posture in line with the people’s security posture in the current context.
