Division 3 promotes legal dissemination and education

Division 3, also known as the Golden Star Corps  under Military Region 1 is a fully-staffed main unit, tasked with training, combat readiness and  performing ad hoc tasks at the request of the military region and the Ministry of National Defence (MND). Due to its large areas of operation which are residential neighbourhood, its large strength, and the unequal level of awareness of its soldiers, the division is prone to multi-faceted impacts of social life. Being aware of the importance of "discipline" for the stability and development of the Unit, the Party Committee and commandant of the Division have carried out many guidelines and solutions synchronously for leadership and direction, in which, promoting legal dissemination and education is identified as one of the most important ones, and the basis, the foundation for successfully implementing the breakthrough of “Making a solid change in regularity construction and discipline management; ensure safety” that has been stipulated in the Resolution of the Division’s Party Congress for the 2020-2025 term. As a result, the Division has seen positive changes in the situation of legal and discipline observance. Since 2019 to date, there have been no serious disciplinary violations, and common violations have decreased to below 0.2%, which contributed to improving its overall quality and combat strength, and its successful accomplishment of all assigned tasks.

In order to achieve that result, the Division always promotes the roles and responsibilities of the Party Committees and presiding officers at all levels in leading and directing this important work. Thoroughly grasping the directives and resolutions of the Party, the State, the Central Military Commission, the Ministry of National Defence, directly: Circular No. 42/2016/TT-BQP, dated March 30, 2016 of the Ministry of National Defence stipulating legal dissemination and education in the Ministry of National Defence; Directive No. 103/CT-BQP, dated November 28, 2019 of the Ministry of National Defence on continuing to strengthen management and education on discipline observance and safety assurance in the Vietnam People's Army,... the Division’s Party committee and commandant direct party committees and organisations at all levels to include legal dissemination and education in their regular leadership resolutions with synchronous, unified and relevant contents and solutions. In order to create synergy and improve the quality of legal dissemination and education, the Division brings into full play the role of organisations and forces, especially the Council for Coordination in legal dissemination and education and political offices at all levels. Periodically, it conducts preliminary reviews and summaries,  attaches the accountability of collectives and individuals for limitations and weaknesses in the work of legal dissemination and education of agencies and units. As a result, the Division's legal propaganda, dissemination and education has become more and more regular,  effective, and substantial. Positive changes have been seen in its cadres and soldiers’ awareness and observance of state law and military discipline.

In order to overcome the rigidity, boredom, and increase the attractiveness and persuasion, the Division actively innovates the content, forms and methods in legal propaganda, dissemination and education. Accordingly, on the one hand, it directs agencies and units to adhere to the contents and programs according to the above regulations and instructions. On the other hand, basing on the actual situation, it requires its units to conduct the classification of objects to select and supplement new contents according to the requirements of task, focusing on propaganda, dissemination and education of new laws and legal documents; commands and regulations of the Army; directives, guidelines and regulations of the Ministry of National Defence, MR1 and the Division on regularity construction, legal observance and discipline, in order to  substantially reduce limitations and weaknesses in this work. Every month, basing on the notifications of the situation of legal and discipline observance in the whole Army provided by the higher echelons, the Division directs its units to promptly conduct propagation, draw lessons and orient the thinking of their troops.

In addition to content innovation, the Division directs its units to regularly innovate, flexibly and creatively apply appropriate forms and methods of propaganda and education; focus on improving the quality and effectiveness of in-person thematic education; combining legal dissemination and education with political and ideological education, military training, and formality building, etc. During the implementation process, the Division requires the team of teachers and reporters to closely associate with reality through illustrative examples to make it comprehensible and memorable for soldiers, and create steady changes in consciousness, attitude, and behaviour for legal and discipline observance of troops. Simultaneously, it promotes propaganda on the internal radio system; holds theatrical activities, seminars, forums, legal contests; maintains the operation of legal bookcases and cultural institutions; improves the effectiveness of Political and Cultural Day at grassroots level, Legal Day and visual forms and methods through the system of message boards, panels, slogans, etc. The division directs its units to closely combine discipline education with the Determined to Win Emulation movement, the Grassroots Democracy Regulation and campaigns, especially the Campaign of promoting tradition, dedicating talents, deserving "Uncle Ho's Soldiers" in the new period, to create an exciting and widespread competitive atmosphere in the units. Many typical examples of "good people, good deeds" were propagated and replicated, creating an widespread spillover effect in the military community, building a good, beautiful, healthy, rich cultural environment, minimising violations of the law and discipline of the soldiers in each agency and unit.

Being well aware of the role of the core force for this work, the Division regularly consolidates and brings into play the role of the Council for coordination in legal dissemination and education; improves the quality of the legal reporters, propagandists and  advisers. Sticking to the requirements of the mission and the development and fluctuations of its personnel, the Division promptly directs the consolidation of the Council for coordination in legal dissemination and education with sufficient quantity, appropriate structure and composition; regularly reviews, perfects and issues operating regulations with specific functions and tasks. Annually, the Council formulates and promulgates plan for legal dissemination and education, clearly defining the objectives, requirements, contents and responsibilities of each subject in implementation. On that basis, every month, it coordinates with functional agencies, especially political agencies and staff agencies, to promptly advise and propose to Division commanders to thoroughly conduct activities of legal dissemination and education in the unit.

Together with the above solutions, the Division promotes the construction and strictly maintains the regularity regime and discipline management to create a positive effect on legal propagation, dissemination and education in each agency or unit. Accordingly, the Division directs agencies and units to strictly maintain order and regulations for discipline management; adhere to the regulation of working according to responsibilities and acting according to orders. During implementation, the units strictly maintain the order and regularity of daily and weekly routines to ensure practicality and consistency throughout the Division; regularly coordinate closely with Party committees, authorities, local people and troops’ families for comprehensive management and education; at the same time, raising the sense of self-disciplining of each troop; strengthen inspection and supervision to promptly detect disciplinary violations and social evils in the units; resolutely handle the violations, not to cover or conceal shortcomings. In addition, the Division also pays attention to improving material and spiritual life of troops; directs agencies and units to promote internal resources, actively make investments in facilities for this work to better meet the requirements and tasks set out.

The results achieved in the work of legal dissemination and education are the basis and foundation to maintain stability, contributing to making Division 3 all-strong, "exemplary and typical", improving its overall quality  and combat power for ready to receive and successfully complete all assigned tasks.
