This was the assessment of Nguyen Thanh Tung, Secretary of the Party Committee of Lang Giang ward, Bac Ninh City, regarding the contribution made by officers and soldiers of Brigade 673 under Army Corps 12 in recent years.
During the first 2026 field march for mass mobilization activities, held in what is now Lang Giang ward from July 1 to 31, troops of Brigade 673 closely coordinated with local Party committees, authorities, and local people to carry out a range of practical activities.

Contributing more than 900 working days, the troops took part in environmental cleanup, repairs to 25 kilometers of rural roads, clearance of 15 kilometers of irrigation canals, school renovations, and the maintenance of cultural facilities and martyrs’ cemeteries. They also helped 10 policy beneficiary families repair their homes and tend their gardens and crops, provided free haircuts, and supported local public information campaigns.
Through these practical activities, the close bonds between the troops and local people have continued to grow stronger.
The Party Committee and Chain-of-Command of Brigade 673 regularly direct the unit to coordinate with local authorities to assess local people’s needs and organize practical mass mobilization activities. Since early 2026, the brigade has mobilized personnel on 50 occasions, contributing more than 350 workdays to help four households in what is now Lang Giang ward build or repair homes under a nationwide campaign to eliminate temporary and dilapidated housing. Earlier, during the floods in late November 2025, the unit worked with authorities in Lang Giang and Tien Luc communes and Kinh Bac ward, providing nearly 500 workdays to clear landslides, harvest crops, and help local people overcome the aftermath of the disaster, contributing to the restoration of normal life.

According to Political Commissar of Brigade 673 Senior Colonel Luu Van Cao, the unit deeply understands the importance of mass mobilization work. Wherever people face difficulties, soldiers stand ready to be present, share their burdens, and provide practical assistance. These efforts also serve as a foundation for strengthening military-civilian ties and reinforcing public trust in the military.
Through practical and effective activities, officers and soldiers of Brigade 673 have helped further uphold the image of Uncle Ho’s soldiers in the hearts of people. From repaired roads and reinforced homes to activities supporting policy beneficiary families, every task reflects the troops’ sense of responsibility, sentiments, and willingness to share with local people, contributing to public trust in the Party, State, and military.
