Under the framework of “Quang Trung Campaign,” aimed at supporting people whose houses were damaged or destroyed by natural disasters, the Air Force and Air Defense Service was tasked with building 21 houses in eastern communes of Dak Lak Province. Specifically, Division 375 constructed eight houses in Son Hoa Commune, while Division 377, Division 372, and the Air Force Officer Candidate School built 13 houses in Tuy An Dong Commune.

Despite numerous challenges during construction due to complex terrain and unfavorable weather conditions, the units demonstrated a proactive spirit, closely coordinated with one another, made full use of available time, and accelerated construction progress. After nearly one month of continuous effort, all 21 houses were completed, meeting design requirements and technical standards, and were handed over to beneficiary families in a timely manner.

In addition to house construction, the units actively participated in various community support activities. The Air Force - Air Defense Service mobilized organizations and individuals to donate material assistance to help families repair damaged houses and renovate cultural houses. At the same time, they coordinated with local forces to build 1,400 meters of concrete roads, repair 120 sets of desks and chairs for students, and carry out environmental clean-up activities at schools, village roads, and community cultural facilities.

On this occasion, the Command of the Air Force - Air Defense Service and its units presented each beneficiary family with essential household items such as televisions, refrigerators, cooking stoves, rice cookers, electric fans, tables, chairs, beds, and wardrobes, helping them soon stabilize their lives.

To date, 100% of units within the Air Force and Air Defense Service have successfully completed “Quang Trung Campaign,” further promoting the noble image of “Uncle Ho’s Soldiers” and the exemplary qualities of Air Defense - Air Force soldiers in the new era.
