Over the past five years, the emulation movement and the development of role models among military female personnel have seen strong and widespread progress. The movement titled “Intelligent and Courageous Military Women Successfully Fulfilling Tasks, Building Happy Families, Worthy of Uncle Ho’s Soldiers in the New Era” has become a driving force, closely linked with major emulation movements and campaigns launched by the Party, State, military, and the Vietnam Women’s Union.
