The subjects of resolution: are the leadership and command organizations at all levels, the education and training management agencies, the mass organizations in the army; the force includes the team of lecturers, management staff and the soldiers themselves. In which, the leadership and direction of the Party Committee, the commanders and the participation of the soldiers in the grassroots units are the direct subjects of that process, playing a decisive role in the quality and effectiveness of the entire process. The soldiers in the grassroots units are both the object and the subject of the promotion process. As an object, the soldiers are under the control of the promotion subjects and the domination of the purpose, content, method and form of resolution. As a subject, the soldiers are active, proactive, independent and creative in receiving and handling the impacts of the resolution process.

2.2. Factors determining the resolution of the traditional - modern relationship in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army

2.2.1. Awareness of organizations, forces, and regulations on resolving traditional-modern relations in developing military culture of the Vietnam People's Army

The awareness of the subject is that organizations and forces always direct and regulate the resolution of traditional - modern relations in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army, especially party committees at all levels and commanders at all levels in the process of researching to perfect the guiding viewpoints; programs, contents, plans and to create spiritual motivation for the realization of traditional - modern relations in the development of military culture of organizations and forces; in overcoming deviations and focusing on ensuring the harmony of

Traditional - modern relations. The movement of traditional - modern relations in the development of military culture is associated with a scientific, appropriate orientation and under the leadership of party committees at all levels; the organization of commanders at all levels; the dynamism and creativity of soldiers. While the movement of traditional - modern relations must go through difficulties and complexities, it can only be based on the results of scientific research on this relationship at certain stages.

Without regular, serious and scientific awareness and research, the theory of traditional-modern relations will become outdated in the face of vivid development practice. Although the methodological orientation is to constantly ensure the harmony of traditional-modern relations in the development of military culture, there will be certain differences in each specific historical period. That difference raises the issue of awareness and research on traditional-modern relations, which must also be regular and continuous in the spirit of innovation in order to develop the military culture of the Vietnam People's Army in a sustainable manner. Especially in the context of economic globalization and increasingly deep international integration; socialist-oriented market economy as well as the achievements of the fourth industrial revolution at a rapid pace, the reality is even more complicated. Protecting the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland always has new characteristics, making current research results and orientations always tend to be outdated. Therefore, traditional relations

- Modernization in the development of military culture must be based on the foundation and subject to the regulations of quality and effectiveness of cognitive innovation, studying this relationship at each specific stage. The slow innovation in cognition leads to the orientation of cognition and application of traditional - modern relationships of subjects that are not close to reality and not very effective.

The traditional - modern relationship in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army is subject to the results of awareness and research on this relationship in the new situation. The quality and effectiveness of awareness and research will contribute significantly to perfecting the orientation to solve the traditional - modern relationship in the development of military culture in the new situation. The Party's ideology in the Resolution of the 12th National Congress on: "Summarizing and building the system of cultural values and the system of standard values of Vietnamese people in the period of industrialization, modernization and international integration" [31, pp. 126 - 127] has the meaning of an orientation for awareness and research on the traditional - modern relationship in the development of military culture of our army in the new situation. The results of awareness and research of the subject are expressed in the generalization of the system of cultural values, the system of standard values of people for the traditional - modern relationship in the development of military culture in a specific and appropriate manner. Only that generalization can create a foundation and direct motivation for the traditional - modern relationship in developing the military culture of the Vietnam People's Army in accordance with the law, in accordance with reality, and with feasibility.

Only from the awareness of what is right and what is wrong can there be a basis for forming attitudes and motivations to support, honor or criticize. The Party's viewpoint in the Resolution of the 12th Congress clearly shows that there must be a strong change in awareness: "All Vietnamese people have a deep understanding, pride and respect for the history and culture of the nation. Affirm and honor what is right, good, positive and noble; spread noble and humane values" [31, p.127]. This shows the cognitive role of organizations and forces in improving the quality and effectiveness of research to perfect the system of cultural values, the system of values of cultural behavior standards and to create and consolidate unity from awareness to unity in feelings, attitudes, motivations and will among military subjects. There is no step of researching the traditional relationship

Traditional - modern... has no criteria for recognition and cannot distinguish right from wrong, and even more so cannot have an attitude of supporting and protecting the right, fighting and criticizing the wrong in a unified manner, and even less has the strength to practice behavior.

The results of awareness and research on the traditional-modern relationship in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army are the driving force for its realization in vivid practice. From the results of scientific research to the completion of guiding viewpoints; programs, plans and to creating spiritual motivation for the realization of the traditional-modern relationship in the development of military culture is a logical chain. The role of motivation is expressed in many different aspects. It is the driving force for eliminating distorted perceptions in each military subject. Each soldier more or less still harbors the remnants of inappropriate perceptions. With the results of awareness and scientific research included in the education and propaganda program, it will transform the military subject from perception to feelings, attitudes, motivations, beliefs, will and behaviors in accordance with the orientation and standards of cultural values. That transformation process has included creating the power to eliminate incorrect perceptions, consolidate and develop correct perceptions at each specific stage. There are perceptions that were correct at the previous stage, but will no longer be correct at the next stage. The recognition of such incorrectness can only be achieved through the results of scientific research, the generalization into a system of criteria and standards of cultural behavior.

The quality and effectiveness of awareness and of the concrete steps in perfecting the guiding viewpoints and action programs of leaders and commanders at each specific unit are the premise and driving force for the traditional - modern relationship in developing the military culture of our army. It is the driving force in the sense that it converges the combined strength of all subjects together.

common purpose, content, and method of realizing traditional relations

- modern in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army. This relationship is also a process of going from low level to high level. There is also a struggle between maintaining orientation, ensuring harmony between the two sides with the state that always has the potential to be backward or too biased towards one side, traditional or modern.

As a driving force in the development of military culture, the Vietnam People's Army also creates strength from the unity in adjusting the thoughts, motives, and behaviors from within each subject that creates military cultural values. In terms of awareness, knowledge, emotions, attitudes, motives, beliefs, and will among subjects, there is no unity, so the process of creating military cultural values also lacks consensus and hinders each other. All the trends that hinder and limit the process of promoting traditional - modern relations in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army can only be overcome when there is correct awareness and orientation of the subject at each specific stage.

2.2.2. A pure and healthy military cultural environment regulates the resolution of traditional - modern relations in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army.

The cultural environment, most directly the cultural environment at the grassroots level, all have the same basic characteristics. These include: the system of facilities, means, living conditions, activities, and work; cultural institutions; subjects that create cultural values; relationships between subjects that follow both regulations and rules and cultural value standards that have been standardized in a unified and integrated manner. The unified and integrated nature of the constituent elements creates an environment for subjects to live, operate, work, train for combat, and be ready for combat. The Party's viewpoint in the Resolution of the 12th Party Congress on: "Building

"A healthy cultural environment, suitable for the context of socialist-oriented market economic development and international integration" [31, p.127] is the general orientation for building a cultural environment at the grassroots level.

The military cultural environment is the basis and condition for the traditional - modern relationship in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army to take place with all its own characteristics and nuances. The military cultural environment is understood as the "cradle" that nurtures and cherishes each military subject in the creation of military cultural values. Each cadre, officer, soldier, etc. lives, operates, and works in a specific unit, with all its own specific nuances. Although each soldier in the army has similar characteristics, there are also specific characteristics of each specific unit. These specific characteristics are determined by the cultural environment at the base unit. The nature, characteristics of the political tasks and the historical (traditional) form of each unit, each cultural environment orients the development of different personality models. The military cultural environment receives, trains and refines each soldier according to a standardized personality model (appearance), with sufficient qualities and capacity to complete the unit's political tasks.

From the role of the cultural environment that determines the military personality model and to that subject creating military cultural products. What kind of cultural environment creates a cultural subject with the characteristics and level of the corresponding cultural subject. What kind of cultural subject, the cultural value created also has the same cultural nuances and values. The cultural environment always harmonizes the honoring of tradition with the striving for modernity in a suitable culture, which is the basis and driving force for the relationship between tradition and modernity in the development of military culture. Each soldier goes through the stage of cultural "integration" into a specific military cultural environment. The cultural environment has

Cultural values from long-standing traditions and many achievements in construction and combat are respected, preserved and passed down, then soldiers will have many tendencies to honor traditions. The cultural environment in the basic unit has a strong tendency to move towards modernity, which also creates subjects with many tendencies and motivations to move towards modernity. Between the two aspects of tradition and modernity in a specific unit, the dialectical unity and harmony will create a positive cultural environment that nurtures and promotes the relationship between tradition and modernity in the development of military culture. A positive cultural environment with the above characteristics is the basis for developing a comprehensive model of military personality, both honoring traditional history and moving towards modernity in a harmonious way. The cultural values created are both logically and historically consistent, and continue the tradition towards appropriate modernity. There, signs of being too biased towards tradition or too emphasizing modernity in each military subject are overcome, eliminated and directed towards a lively harmony between tradition and modernity.

The cultural environment in military units is the driving force for the traditional - modern relationship in the development of military culture of the Vietnam People's Army. The cultural environment emerges a system of value standards, criteria for recognizing and evaluating culturally appropriate or inappropriate expressions of each thought and behavior of a soldier. Through unifying the criteria for evaluating expressions of values that are standard or deviant, each subject is educated, shaped and adjusted in a specific way. The evaluation criteria are not only the purpose and content of propaganda education, but also the basis for creating and promoting cultural and ethical "public opinion" to honor and encourage standard expressions, and at the same time criticize deviant expressions. The power in adjusting the thoughts and behaviors of soldiers is not only administrative and mandatory regulations and rules, but also
