New recruits leave for military service

The new feature of the work of selecting and calling citizens to join the army this year is to prioritize citizens who have graduated from universities, colleges, intermediate schools, vocational training, and civil servants and public employees to improve the quality of army building in the new situation.

Centrally-run cities achieve a rate of 20% or more, the Northern Delta provinces achieve 10%; the remaining localities achieve 5% of the military enlistment quota with the educational level prescribed by the Ministry of National Defense.

Local military units in military regions 1, 2, 3, 4 and units assigned to parade at the 70th anniversary of the August Revolution and National Day September 2, in addition to the prescribed standards, are selected to call up citizens with a height of 1.65m to 1.70m for military service.
