The survey focused on the Navy’s role in firmly safeguarding the national maritime and island sovereignty, as well as assisting locals in poverty reduction, marine economic development, and new-style rural construction movement. The delegation also learned about the research and production activities of defense economic enterprises; experience in military training, regularity building, and discipline observance work; the quality of detachment-level political officers, and issues posed to the school’s training program.

Reality shows that these naval units consistently and strictly maintain training and combat readiness regulations, actively innovating methods to suit maritime operations. Regularity building, and discipline observance work have seen solid improvements, while the troops’ material and spiritual lives have been enhanced. Defense economic enterprises and research units have effectively performed technical and logistical assurance, practically contributing to military, defense, and marine economic tasks.
During the working sessions, the units suggested that the school continue to link theory with practice and update new knowledge on the marine and defense economies. Simultaneously, it is necessary to improve practical skills in Party and political work, as well as ability to handle practical situations for cadets trained to become detachment-level political officers.

According to Senior Colonel Pham Duyen Minh, the trip served as a highly useful practical lesson outside the lecture hall, providing vivid materials for teaching social sciences and humanities. Based on the survey results, the delegation will advise the school’s Party Committee and Chain-of-Command on solutions to improve training and scientific research quality. This aims to realize the motto “The training quality of the school is the combat readiness capability of the unit,” meeting the requirements of building a regular, elite, and modern military.
