In fact, in recent years, in general, units directly involved in basic soldier training have closely followed the training policies, viewpoints, and mottos; the qualifications and capacity of the officers have met the unit's requirements and the soldiers' level of awareness quite well. However, through surveys, it has been shown that in some basic units, there are still newly graduated platoon officers who have shown limitations in methods, skills, and experience in training and guiding soldiers to review. The main reason is that young officers do not have experience, lack of practical experience in the unit, and partly due to limited initiative and self-study.

Therefore, in the coming time, to overcome the above limitations, relevant entities need to effectively implement the following main measures:

Further strengthen the leadership and direction of Party committees and commanders at all levels for training and combat readiness tasks in the squads.

Party committees and battalion and company commanders need to strengthen the dissemination to cadres, party members, non-commissioned officers and soldiers (HSQ, BS) to deeply understand the military and defense viewpoints and guidelines of the Party and State, especially Resolution No. 44-NQ/TW, dated November 24, 2023 of the Party Central Committee (13th tenure) on the Fatherland Protection Strategy in the new situation; Resolution No. 1659-NQ/QUTW, dated December 20, 2022 of the Central Military Commission on improving the quality of training in the period 2023-2030 and the following years; commands, orders, training tasks, and combat readiness of superiors.

On that basis, review and supplement the targets, contents and measures in the unit's programs and plans, ensuring that they are consistent with the practical requirements, tasks of the unit and the capabilities of the troops; focus on breaking through to new issues, weak links and weak aspects. At the same time, strengthen political education and ideological orientation, creating strong and profound changes in the thinking, awareness, attitude and responsibility of cadres and soldiers towards this important task.

Along with that, resolutely overcome the manifestation of lax leadership, direction and management of the unit's leading cadres; fight against the mindset of being satisfied with stopping, conservatism, fear of innovation, fear of difficulties, fear of hardship and "achievement disease" in training and combat readiness.

Based on the viewpoint that “cadres are the root of the work”, at the beginning of each training period, agencies and units conduct well the training and fostering of cadres at the platoon and company levels. Implement the motto “superiors teach subordinates, commanders teach units”; it is necessary to select cadres who are exemplary in terms of qualities, abilities, skills, and experience, and build a framework to model training contents.

Training and fostering content aims to improve the level, skills, and military training methods; individual, team, and squad tactical movements; skills in practicing team command; physical training; content and methods of political education (basic and regular); skills in grasping, solving, motivating ideology, and providing psychological counseling for HSQ, BS...

Provide guidance on innovating the organization form, inspection methods, and training review; increase surprise inspections and cross-inspections between units, evaluate the actual results of training and combat readiness, promptly draw common experiences; do a good job of praising and rewarding individuals and groups with high achievements in the training and fostering process; propose measures to overcome limitations and shortcomings in preparing training content (if any).

Actively innovate training content, organization, methods, and combat readiness to suit unit characteristics and modern technological warfare conditions.

This is the most important content and solution, directly deciding the quality of training, combat readiness and combat at the grassroots units; at the same time, it is a prerequisite for units to successfully complete the central political tasks, not being passive and surprised in any situation.

Training content and combat readiness must be appropriate to the cognitive level of HSQ and BS; the ability to organize the organization, weapons, equipment of the unit and the target of combat in current conditions. During the training process, units and officers directly training must thoroughly grasp and implement the motto "basic, practical, solid", "emphasize synchronous and in-depth training", "link the training ground with the battlefield"; flexibly apply "3 viewpoints, 8 principles, 6 combinations" in training. Strengthen mobile training, long-term field trips, night training, high-intensity training, training according to tasks and situations, bringing troops closer to actual combat conditions; focus on improving the ability to coordinate operations between forces, not to be passive or surprised.

Every year, the results of training and education of soldiers are used as a measure and criterion for evaluating, rewarding, and promoting cadres.

Innovate and improve the effectiveness of competitions and sports events in the direction of "basic, practical, solid, specialized, professional, and high achievements".

It is an objective requirement for units to organize well the content of competitions and sports events to evaluate the level, capacity, responsibility of the staff and the results of training, combat readiness, operational ability, technical and tactical coordination of the squad after each training period. This helps the Party committees, leaders and commanders at all levels from company to regiment to grasp the actual strength of the staff and soldiers of their level, thereby making appropriate and timely decisions in the process of using people and different times and tasks, bringing the highest results to the unit.

The process of implementing this task must be rigorous, scientific, substantial, objective, and fair, in order to encourage, motivate, and promote the spirit, responsibility, positivity, initiative, and creativity of soldiers in training; promptly detect cadres with good training methods, units with good models to encourage, commend, reward, and replicate, contributing to improving the quality of training in the entire regiment. From this result, the regiment organizes the selection and training of knowledge, skills, and bravery for coaches and athletes; establishes teams to compete in military events, military sports, etc. according to the requirements of military and defense work of superiors.

Faced with the requirements and tasks of building the Army and defending the Fatherland in the new situation, improving the quality of training and combat readiness is increasingly important, requiring Party committees and commanders at all levels and officers and soldiers of grassroots units to enhance their will and determination, and implement more drastic and synchronous measures to ensure that units are always combat ready, fight victoriously, firmly protect the independence, sovereignty, unity and territorial integrity of the Fatherland, and maintain a peaceful and stable environment for national construction and development.
