Along with conducting training activities for militiamen, the Binh Lieu district Military Command has mobilized its troops to disseminate information related to Laws on Military Service, Militia and Self-Defense Forces, National Border, and Marital Acts among families in remote areas.

According to Colonel Tang Van Tinh, Political Commissar of the Binh Lieu provincial Military Command, because Binh Lieu is a border district with the majority of people being ethnic minorities, the command has promoted the role of militiamen who can speak ethnic languages and understand their practices and customs to enhance law dissemination and education.
