To accomplish the assigned tasks, both routine and unexpected, the brigade was asked to continue thoroughly following resolutions of the 13th National Party Congress, the 11th Party Congress of the Vietnam People's Army, and directives from the Party Central Committee, Politburo, Central Military Commission, and Ministry of National Defense.
The Party chief underscored the imperative of seizing every opportunity to improve the comprehensive quality and combat readiness of the Artillery Corps. He envisioned transforming it into a revolutionary, elite, and modern force, ensuring that the brigade lives up to its role as the main ground firepower of the military.

To achieve this, he pushed for the integration of information technology and digital transformation into military training and troop management. Developing comprehensive databases is also the key to improving efficiency in both training and operational management, the General Secretary said.
Secrecy was another key area of focus, General Secretary To Lam said, stressed the absolute necessity of maintaining strict confidentiality regarding equipment, technical systems, communication networks, operational plans, and advanced weaponry.
The brigade was required to restructure and optimize its staff, ensuring they are streamlined, agile, flexible, and aligned with modern military and weaponry strategies.

It is necessary to study and follow President Ho Chi Minh's thought, morality and lifestyle and spread the campaign “Promoting tradition, contributing talent, deserving to be Uncle Ho’s soldiers” in the new era, he said, calling for enhancing the comprehensive leadership and combat capacity of the Artillery Corps’ Party Committee and its Party organizations.
Since its founding day on June 29, 1946, the State has honored 83 units, 17 officers and soldiers with the title “Hero of the People's Armed Forces,” with six units earning this distinction twice, according to its Commander Maj. Gen. Nguyen Hong Phong.
