During the General Offensive and Uprising in Spring 1975, especially in the historic Ho Chi Minh Campaign, Army Corps 1 and Army Corps 2 (now Army Corps 12) served as core forces, powerful “iron fists” playing a decisive role in securing the great victory.

Upholding the tradition of “Swift action, determination-to-fight, determination-to-win,” along with valuable lessons learned, officers and soldiers of Army Corps 12 are striving to build a comprehensively strong unit that is exemplary and outstanding, continuously enhancing overall quality and combat strength, deserving the title of the heroic “Steel Corps,” meeting the requirements of safeguarding the Fatherland in the new context.
