Improving the quality of military party cells in communes in Nghe An
(Baonghean.vn) - By the end of 2023, the establishment of commune-level military party cells will be completed throughout Nghe An province. Party committees of communes are actively implementing solutions to improve the quality of commune-level military party cells and affiliated party cells.

Contribute to improving local military work
The Quynh Lien Commune Military Party Cell (Hoang Mai Town) is one of the earliest military party cells established in the province in early December 2023, with 9 party members. Up to now, the party cell has undergone 3 regular meetings and in each meeting, in addition to the meeting contents in accordance with regulations, the party cell has focused on implementing a number of contents related to working regulations, the entire course program, the plan to assign tasks to the Party Committee and each party member of the party cell; military recruitment and transfer; military training in 2024, etc.

Comrade Ho Van Son - Secretary of the Commune Party Committee, concurrently Secretary of the Quynh Lien Commune Military Party Cell, said: The establishment of the commune military party cell "gathering" all mobile militia, regular militia, and sea militia into one "focal point" organization brings many advantages in the leadership and direction of local military tasks; associated with the organization of deploying tasks to the mobile militia and sea militia fully and promptly.
If in the past, the Party Secretary and the Chairman of the Commune People's Committee deployed tasks through the village Party cell secretaries, now they directly deploy to the standing forces. On the other hand, when Party members of the military standing force are active in a local military organization, the quality and efficiency will also be better.

In Yen Tinh commune (Tuong Duong), the Commune Military Party Cell was established at the end of December 2023, with 7 party members, including: Party Committee Secretary, Commune People's Committee Chairman, Commander and Deputy Commander of the Commune Military Committee, head of the militia and self-defense force and village team leader.
Comrade Quang Van Dang - Party Secretary and Secretary of the Yen Tinh Commune Military Party Cell shared: The locality has potential for security and order, especially illegal gold mining. This is also an area that is susceptible to natural disasters, such as tornadoes, flash floods, landslides, heat waves, etc., so it requires the mobilization of local military forces to promptly deploy tasks...
The formation of the commune military cell has created conditions for advising leaders, directing and organizing forces to carry out military and defense tasks in the locality more effectively, associated with building a strong and comprehensive commune Military Command.

Improve the quality of party members
Implementing Resolution No. 21, dated June 16, 2022 of the Party Central Committee (13th tenure) on "Strengthening the consolidation and building of grassroots Party organizations and improving the quality of Party members in the new period"; Instruction No. 24, dated September 20, 2023 of the Central Organizing Committee and Official Dispatch No. 2289, dated October 30, 2023 of the Standing Committee of Nghe An Provincial Party Committee on the organization, establishment and operation of commune-level military party cells, local Party committees in the province have actively and flexibly implemented them; while ensuring the improvement of the quality of military party cells associated with the construction, consolidation and improvement of the quality of operations of rural party cells under commune-level grassroots Party committees.
In Nghi Loc district, the establishment of commune-level military party cells was completed in 29/29 communes and towns on December 29, 2023, with a total of 180 party members; the party cell has at least 4 party members and at most 9 party members.

The Central Organizing Committee's guidelines and the Nghe An Provincial Party Committee's official dispatch clearly define the party member structure in military cells, including: Party Committee Secretary, Chairman of the Commune People's Committee; party members in the military command, mobile militia units, regular militia and sea militia (if any). However, in practice, this force in many localities is the core force in the blocks, villages and hamlets.
In particular, in Nghi Loc district, there are 24 party cells with no or few local party members, and it is necessary to increase party members from military and militia forces to participate in activities. Therefore, according to comrade Dinh Thi Hanh - Deputy Head of the Organization Board of Nghi Loc District Party Committee: In the process of directing the establishment of commune-level military party cells, Nghi Loc District Party Committee has directed grassroots party committees at the commune level to be flexible in selecting party members to establish commune-level military party cells; both ensuring to improve the quality of leadership and direction of military party cells and ensuring the harmony and quality of activities in rural party cells in localities; at the same time, directing commune party committees to reallocate the increase of party members to participate in activities in special and difficult party cells.

In Tuong Duong district, the Standing Committee and the Organizing Committee of the District Party Committee both issued official dispatches guiding the establishment and consolidation of military party cells at commune and town levels in the district. Within just 10 days, 16/16 communes and towns in the district completed the establishment of commune-level military party cells (the last party cell was established on December 18, 2023), (in Tam Hop commune alone, the commune military party cell was first established on December 15, 2011).
Currently, out of a total of 17 commune-level military party cells in Tuong Duong district, there are 133 party members. A party cell has at least 5 party members and at most 10 party members. Comrade Mac Van Nguyen - Head of the Organization Board of Tuong Duong District Party Committee said: In some bases, party members who are part of the composition to establish a commune military party cell are the core force in the block, village, and hamlet party cells. The district Party Committee directs the grassroots party committee to only establish a commune-level military party cell with the main members being the party cell secretary, the commune People's Committee chairman, the commander and deputy commander of the commune military command; and the number of party members from the militia force will gradually be added to the commune-level military party cell when the block and village party cells develop new party members.

Also according to the Head of the Organization Committee of Tuong Duong District Party Committee: In order not to affect the quality and leadership role in the Party cells of the blocks, hamlets, and villages when establishing military Party cells, Tuong Duong District Party Committee also directed and guided the grassroots Party Committees to continue to implement the regime of assigning Party members in the military Party cells at the commune level to continue participating in activities in the old Party cells in hamlets and villages according to the working regulations and assignments of the Party Executive Committee at the commune level.
Some issues raised
As of December 29, 2023, 460/460 communes, wards and towns across the province have completed the establishment of commune military party cells; of which, 458 commune military party cells were newly established and 2 party cells were previously established.
The total number of party members transferred to establish military party cells in communes, wards and towns is 2,946 comrades; of which, 330 party cells have 3-5 party members; 130 party cells have 9 or more party members.

The establishment of commune-level military cells aims to strengthen the Party's leadership over local defense and military tasks and improve the quality of grassroots militia forces, contributing to meeting the requirements of the task of building an all-people national defense, associated with an increasingly solid people's security posture.
The requirement to establish a commune military party cell must be closely combined with the construction, consolidation and improvement of the quality of activities of party cells under the grassroots party committees of communes, wards and towns.
To meet the objectives, ensure harmony between the requirements of enhancing the role and effectiveness of leadership and direction of commune-level military party cells in local defense and military tasks and the quality of leadership and direction in rural party cells; the issue of grassroots party committees needs to continue to pay attention to promoting the work of developing party members, supplementing resources for rural party cells; on that basis, withdraw party members from the militia force to commune-level military party cells. On that basis, soon stabilize and enhance the role and effectiveness of military party cells and party cells in villages and hamlets.
