Mission and Solutions for Building Logistics Forces

weak. Combining the assistance of fraternal countries, therefore, we must promote the spirit of self-reliance; must thoroughly save, fight against corruption and waste" [124]. That policy requires all cadres and soldiers to enhance their political responsibility, collective mastery spirit, know how to respect and cherish public property, save human resources and people's resources; know how to take advantage of local supplies, thoroughly collect all weapons, technical means and materials of the enemy; preserve and make good use of all our technical facilities; strive to compete in labor and increase good production, improve the ability to be self-sufficient in all circumstances; at the same time, make the most of and effectively use all international assistance and aid; fight against corruption and waste; fight against closed doors...

Thus, building the People's Army must rely firmly on the people, mobilize and organize the participation of all people; take building a strong political foundation; building a strong cadre team as the key; building a strong strategic transport force as the central task; must start from reality and must be necessary, effective, self-reliant, and at the same time make the most of international assistance. This is a system of guiding viewpoints on building the People's Army in the years from 1969 to 1973, demonstrating loyalty, development and concretization of the Party's viewpoint on administrative reform in building the People's Army in the new conditions of the KCCVN and CN. Each viewpoint has a different position, role and content, but they are unified in closely directing the work of building the force, ensuring that the People's Army develops in the right direction, is increasingly standardized and modernized, and promptly meets the requirements of war.

1.2.3. Tasks and solutions for building logistics forces

First, carry out Party building work well in the LLHC.

Maybe you are interested!

Party building work in the LLHC during this time focused on implementing well the following contents:

Continue to promote the campaign to improve the quality of party members and admit party members of the Ho Chi Minh class, aiming to build a team of party members with appropriate quantity and high quality, capable of participating in leadership, mobilizing the masses, performing well in duties and responsibilities, truly advanced in ideological awareness and action, especially party members who are committee members and cadres.

Strive to build strong regular Party cells. Closely combine Party cell building with building strong comprehensive units; educate and train Party members with training and fostering cadres and union members; improve the quality of Party cells associated with leading units to complete tasks; strengthen the political leadership regime associated with strengthening the command and management regime of troops and technical facilities, overcome negative and backward phenomena, practically improve the combat quality and work efficiency of units; improve and enhance the quality of leadership activities of Party cells.

Actively build Party committees at all levels to be consistently strong and comprehensive, improve working methods, promote self-criticism and criticism, and strengthen solidarity and unity within Party committees at all levels. Strive to foster and improve the capacity of Party committees in combat leadership, combat service and work; lead and manage troops and organize the implementation of tasks.

Along with the work of building Party committees and organizations at all levels, it is necessary to strengthen leadership and direction in building and perfecting clean and strong mass organizations; improve and enhance the quality of activities; train well the contingent of cadres working in the youth union, trade union, and women's union; improve the quality of education and training of youth union and trade union members; strongly promote the movement of good people, good deeds; and promote the role of mass organizations in performing the tasks of agencies and units.

Second, regularly and effectively carry out political education and ideological leadership for logistics officers, staff and soldiers at all levels.

In order to continue promoting the offensive spirit, the spirit of determination to fight and win, perseverance and promoting the revolutionary cause to victory, the Central Military Commission determined that it was necessary to "Regularly and effectively carry out political education and ideological leadership" [108].

The content of political and ideological education must be comprehensive, focusing on: continuing to educate on all policies, guidelines, and viewpoints of the Party, policies and laws of the State, discipline and regulations of the army, of the unit, traditions of the nation, of the army and the military administration sector; educating on the situation and tasks of the Army and the military administration sector in the new situation and the specific tasks of each agency and unit.

It is necessary to promote the combined strength of all organizations and forces, carry out in many flexible and creative forms; closely combine general education and specific education, continuing education with opening large, concentrated and unified study periods.

Along with carrying out education work well, it is necessary to strengthen management and inspection work to grasp the ideological developments of cadres, soldiers, and logistics staff at all levels, promptly prevent and resolutely overcome negative and incorrect ideological manifestations.

Third, improve quality while actively and reasonably solving the quantity problem to build a team of logistics officers and staff with sufficient qualities and capacity to meet the requirements of new tasks.

Based on the situation of the contingent of cadres, logistics staff and the requirements of combat missions, combat support and the work of the military HCQD sector in the new period, the Central Military Commission determined: "Strive to improve the quality of all aspects of the contingent of cadres, at the same time actively and reasonably resolve the number of cadres, in order to build a contingent of cadres... to meet all requirements of combat and construction missions in the immediate and long term" [101]. To effectively implement the above content, the Central Military Commission determined that it is necessary to grasp and effectively implement the following key issues:

The most important central step is to train and improve the quality of staff.

We must actively train and promote older, experienced cadres; at the same time, we must strive to train and develop young cadres who, through practice, have demonstrated their ability, potential, and good political and moral qualities. In training and improving the quality of cadres and employees, we must firmly grasp the key points of cadres in charge, intermediate and senior technical staff, and cadres of agencies and schools.

Special attention must be paid to strengthening the work of summarizing practical combat experience and combat service, military science and technology research, and publishing work to have good books and documents for cadres and employees to research, study and develop.

It is necessary to perfect the school system, promote training and fostering of cadres and employees to suit the new situation and tasks. Closely combine

Closely combine training and development at school and in-service, focusing on training in combat practice, combat service and work, constantly improving the quality of logistics staff at all levels.

Actively adjust the number of staff to suit the new situation.

On the basis of the prescribed ratio, actively adjust and use reasonably, ensuring balance between the number of cadres and total number of troops, between demand and availability, between agencies and facilities, between quantity and quality, between new and old.

In training, promotion and use, it is necessary to base on the prescribed ratio, starting from practical needs and the staffing table of agencies and establishments to determine reasonable numbers and arrange and use them correctly.

In the context of changes in force organization, it is necessary to actively train, adjust, and reasonably use existing cadres to improve quality, maintain experience, and improve combat and work efficiency.

For cadres who are no longer suitable for the working conditions or due to the needs of the Army and the cause of building socialism, they must be transferred or discharged. For cadres with good political and ideological qualities, with a lot of experience but weak in some aspects, their capacity and health must be actively nurtured and used appropriately.

Fourth, rectify the organization and staffing of the system of agencies, units, and logistics facilities.

Rectifying and perfecting the organization of forces to suit the military situation and combat requirements. Balancing needs with capabilities, balancing forces; combining economy with national defense, building a strong military rear, enhancing the ability to ensure the armed forces build and fight victoriously, while increasing accumulation and readiness to deal with all situations is a very important task in building the armed forces in general and is an urgent issue in building the LLHC. The Central Military Commission directed: "Reclining and perfecting the organization to make the forces truly strong and clean; determining appropriate organization and equipment, strongly promoting the functions and effects of organizations, agencies and units in all circumstances, especially in combat" [99].

The specific contents of rectifying the system of agencies, units and logistics facilities are:

For agencies, build a strong logistics agency system in all aspects, with a strong and compact organization; with good consulting, management and professional direction capacity to ensure the ability to complete the task well "Reorganize agencies to be reasonable, strong, compact, capable of performing tasks and balanced with technical facilities" [131]. In which: clearly define the position, role, function, authority, perfect the system of principles, regimes, and working methods of each department and each division; foster and improve the capacity and level of research, planning, analysis and synthesis, management and implementation organization; perfect the organization and staffing towards improving quality, stably arranging cadres and employees to create conditions for deepening specialization.

For the school system, focus on reducing the organizational scale to an appropriate size, eliminating small teams and classes, increasing the number and quality of teachers, and enhancing equipment and teaching aids to ensure that schools improve the quality of education and train logistics staff at all levels.

For the warehouse system, adjust the arrangement in the direction of reducing the focal points, reducing intermediate stages, gradually bringing the warehouses into the long-term planning base area; strengthen the organizations and technical expertise, the stages of repairing and restoring materials and goods so that the warehouses have sufficient conditions to manage and fully implement the regulations on warehouse work. Actively apply mechanical measures to the warehouses to reduce labor, increase the number of custodians commensurate with the volume of materials and goods in reserve.

For workshops , focus on improving and strengthening production organization and management, improving professional skills, actively applying new scientific and technical achievements in production and repair to improve labor productivity and product quality, saving human and material resources to best ensure immediate and long-term tasks.

For the hospital system , focus on reducing the number of focal points, organizing an appropriate scale, and always having a mobile force to meet the requirements of war. Increase the organizations to ensure, manage, use, and repair modern equipment to

Fast and accurate diagnosis, quick treatment, quick recovery, quick return, many healthy soldiers to the unit, reducing the death and disability rates to the lowest level. In the payroll, it is necessary to ensure a balance between senior, intermediate, and primary levels; between medicine and pharmacy, between cadres and technical staff and modern equipment and machinery. Build and reorganize the hospital system to improve the quality of treatment comprehensively, while paying due attention to research to improve the level and ability to solve complex problems in medical treatment.

For the basic construction force, actively improve the organization and management of construction, labor organization and management, improve technical expertise, rapidly increase labor productivity, ensure immediate tasks and actively prepare for long-term tasks with large volumes and complex, modern technical requirements.

For the transport force, concentrate all capabilities on building strong strategic, operational and battlefield transport forces to successfully complete the central task of logistics work.

Actively build, develop and perfect the smooth transportation routes from the strategic rear to each battlefield. Reorganize the transportation force in the direction of streamlining, reducing intermediate hubs, increasing direct components, reducing indirect and service components. Strive to protect corridors and warehouses; reserve food, weapons, technical equipment; ensure transportation and provide all material needs and technical equipment for the battlefields. Combine forms and methods of transportation flexibly and creatively, transporting and fighting to protect in order to achieve the highest efficiency and effectiveness of transportation.

Fifth, strengthen management work, strive to build and develop weapons, equipment, and military logistics technical materials.

Weapons, equipment, and technical materials are one of the basic elements that make up and determine the combat power of the army, and are a part of the LLHC. Due to the development needs of war, weapons, equipment, and technical materials of the Army and the military HCQD sector have developed very strongly and are increasingly modern. However, management work still has many serious shortcomings, and the quality

Low utilization leads to waste of human resources, resources, low combat efficiency, work efficiency, and production efficiency, requiring urgent strengthening of management and further improvement of the quality of weapons and technical equipment. In that situation, the Central Military Commission and the Party Committee of the General Staff determined: "We must strive to strengthen the management of weapons, equipment, and supplies, and strengthen and promote technical research and guidance" [101].

Regarding management , create fundamental changes in preservation and use; rectify management work at all levels; properly handle the collection, preservation, handling and repair of surplus or damaged weapons, equipment, supplies and assets.

Regarding the work of building, developing and improving the quality of weapons, equipment and technical materials, well organizing repair and production, focusing on repair and improvement; continuing to promote the study, research and development of science and technology to improve the ability to master, produce and improve weapons and equipment to meet the development requirements of war; striving to compete in labor production and practice thrift; organizing the reception and effective use of all military technical facilities provided by foreign countries.

1.3. The Party Committee of the Army directs the building of logistics forces.

1.3.1. Directing the development of organizational systems for agencies, units, and logistics facilities at all levels

Building strong party organizations and mass organizations.

In order to continuously maintain and strengthen the Party's absolute leadership over the People's Public Security Forces, under the direction of the Central Military Commission and the Ministry of National Defense, the Party Committee and the People's Public Security Forces Command have made great efforts to build strong and comprehensive Party committees and organizations at all levels of the People's Public Security Forces. Specifically:

Organize and conduct party congresses of departments and establishments on schedule, in accordance with organizational principles, promote democracy, and uphold discipline to achieve good results. "Conduct party congresses of departments and establishments on schedule. Strengthen party committees in terms of quantity and quality. Strictly rectify party committee regimes at all levels" [36]. Through congresses to improve comprehensive leadership capacity at all levels.

tasks, especially central political tasks; perfecting Party committees in both quantity and quality; strengthening solidarity and unity within the Party, maintaining discipline, regime, principles of organization and activities of the Party. Making the congress a broad political activity in the entire unit and the entire Industry to continue to propagate and educate the Party's guidelines and resolutions, the tasks of the revolution, of the army, of the industry and units at all levels; thereby promoting the revolutionary movement to strive to successfully implement the Party's guidelines and resolutions.

Continue to promote the movement to build 4-good Party cells and Party cells, ensuring quality improvement. Strive to achieve the goal: "Maintain 4-good Party cells and Party cells, do not let any poor Party cells and Party cells remain, strive for 80% of Party cells to achieve 4-good. Actively train Party cell committees on Party cell work, responsibilities of Party cell committee members, principles and Party activities" [36]. Closely combine the work of building Party cells and Party cells with building strong units. On August 13, 1969, the Party Committee and the TCHC Command issued a plan to consolidate and build regiments, military stations, enterprises, construction teams, schools, and warehouses that are politically strong. The plan clearly stated: It is necessary to build a strong Party cell in all aspects to become a nucleus of solidarity and leadership for the unit to always progress and excellently complete all tasks [142, p. 406].

Building, developing, training and cultivating a contingent of high-quality, large-scale party members with good leadership capacity is the main aspect of Party building work. During this time, the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defense and the Party Committee and the TCHC Command focused on directing the continued promotion of the "Campaign to train and foster 4-good party members", launched in November 1967. In the face of the new situation, the TCHC Party Committee emphasized: making efforts to train party members, enhance class spirit, pioneering spirit, steadfastness in ideology, exemplary in action, enhance leadership capacity and mobilize the masses well, striving for 85% of party members to meet the 4-good requirements and no longer have weak party members [36].

Well implement the "Campaign to improve the quality of party members and admit party members of the Ho Chi Minh class" launched by the Politburo on March 6, 1970. The campaign to improve the quality of party members and admit
