After completion, the project will be sent to delegates for comments according to regulations.

Along with completing and submitting the project for approval, the General Staff of the Vietnam People's Army needs to proactively coordinate with relevant agencies and units to prepare the content; direct research agencies to adjust and supplement related content, especially on the art of people's war, defense zone operations, and training document systems suitable for the new organization and staffing; research, propose, amend, and supplement the system of legal documents related to the military and defense fields to ensure the operation of the new local military model is smooth, unified, effective, and efficient.
