This year, the Provincial Military Service Council directed localities to strictly implement the military infiltration step; proactively implement the "3 meetings, 4 knowledge" method; closely link the work of recruiting and calling young people to join the army with the work of creating local reserve mobilization sources. This is a correct and appropriate policy and promotes the role and responsibility of the entire political system, gradually socializing the military recruitment work, creating consensus of the whole society with the motto: "public, democratic, legal". Therefore, in the first military recruitment period in 2014, Dien Chau district achieved 100% of the assigned target with 270 young people leaving for military service, the largest number of soldiers in the province.
After the military transfer ceremony, the new recruits will be transferred to training at the following military branches: Brigades 147 and 131 - Navy; Armored Corps, Special Forces; Artillery Brigade 16 and Division 324 - Military Region 4. 100% of the new recruits have a cultural level of grade 9 or higher, including 2 people with college level. 100% meet health standards of type 1, 2.
