Former soldiers of Division 571 gather
PANO - Nearly 500 delegates gathered at the Guest House of the Ministry of National Defense in Hanoi on April 20 in celebration of the 50th anniversary of the South Liberation and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - 2025), towards the 52nd foundation anniversary of Division 571, Truong Son Command (July 12, 1973 - 2025).
Division 571 was tasked with transporting logistical supplies, equipment, weapons, ammunition, and deploying forces to battlefields. The unit also undertook international duties to support Laos and Cambodia. During the General Offensive and Uprising in the spring of 1975, the unit used more than 1,000 transport trucks to rapidly mobilize forces to both advance and fight the enemy, entering the heart of the enemy’s strongholds.

In order to preserve and promote the glorious traditions, on May 15, 1995, the liaison board of Division 571 was established. Over the past time, the board has regularly organized “return to the roots” journeys and get-togethers, published books, and supported members with difficult conditions and policy beneficiaries.
