In 2021, despite the complicated developments of the Covid-19 pandemic, the political security and social order and safety situation in Nghe An province was basically stable. However, hostile, reactionary and opportunistic political forces still fiercely opposed; the lives of people in remote areas, ethnic minority areas, border areas and islands still faced many difficulties... The above situation has impacted and affected the results of the implementation of military and defense tasks of the armed forces in general and the field mission to do mass mobilization work in particular.

However, with the attention and direction of Party committees and commanders at all levels, effective coordination with local Party committees and authorities, and the efforts of agencies and units, the field trips to do mass mobilization work of units in Nghe An province in 2021 achieved many good results.

Discussing at the Conference, delegates highly appreciated the leadership of the Nghe An Provincial Military Command for organizing a conference to coordinate units on field trips combined with mass mobilization work. This was a practical conference for the Nghe An Provincial Military Command, units and localities to discuss and discuss measures to overcome limitations, remove difficulties, and reach consensus on the contents that need to be coordinated for the mass mobilization campaign to be successful.

On the basis of the agreement, the conference agreed on a number of key tasks that need to be well coordinated, such as: Agencies and units coordinate to develop plans, survey, and coordinate specific contents and tasks that are appropriate and close to the characteristics and tasks of the unit and the conditions of each locality. Closely coordinate mass mobilization work with policy work for ethnic minority areas, religious areas, social policies, and policies for the Army's rear.

Localities where units come to do mass mobilization work proactively coordinate with agencies and units to propose needs for assistance, coordinate the use of resources reasonably and effectively; propagate and mobilize people to actively participate in activities with the army, avoid the mentality of relying on, waiting, and leaving all work to the units.
