In order realise the goals of the work, the Divisional Political Department directs the units to regularly renew the content to make it effective and suitable for each kind of object. On that basis, the units have regularly required their officers and soldiers to grasp and study legal documents, decrees, circulars and instructions of the State, the Ministry of National Defence, the Corps, and the Division. At the same time, the units have also supplemented a number of regulations related to training, combat readiness, preservation of weapons and technical equipment,  building regular lifestyle, and observing military discipline.

In order to strictly manage the troops, party committees, political commissars, junior commissars, and political agencies at all levels regularly forecast the situation and strictly manage internal politics. Officers at all levels are required to keep track of military personnel's records, family background as well as their relationships, especially those who work in key and secret departments.

In order to make steady changes and progresses in the awareness and observance of the State law and military discipline for the subjects, the Division directs its agencies and units to strengthen management and practice of law and discipline by various measures together with building a regular lifestyle and promoting emulation movements and campaigns. Accordingly, in the face of difficult and complicated tasks and sensitive times, the Party Committees and commanders of agencies and units actively grasped the ideological trends and the sense of self-discipline of their troops to forecast and take timely leadership and direction measures, not to let complications occur.

Emulation activities are always maintained in a orderly manner, thereby motivating the troops to complete their tasks well. The movements of: “Youth with discipline training”; "Youth pioneering in the prevention and fight against crime and social evils"; the model of "battalions and companies well fulfiling tasks, without breach of discipline and maintain absolutely safety" are seriously adhered to by all levels. As a result, the feelings, responsibilities, sense of compliance with the State's laws and military discipline of officers and soldiers in the whole Division have seen remarkable changes; the rate of ordinary disciplinary violations dropped to less than 0.3% (a decrease of 0.06% compared to 2020).
