Briefly, it is about the organizational structure. The organization and staffing of agencies and units are built in a balanced, synchronous, reasonable and scientific manner between the components of the force (armies, branches, between agencies and units, between combat forces and support forces, between regular forces and reserve forces). There is no overlap in functions and tasks between organizations, ensuring the good completion of regular and ad hoc tasks. There is a mechanism and method of operating the organization closely, flexibly, synchronously, and uniformly, in accordance with the Party's platform and guidelines, the Constitution, the State's laws, and the Army's regulations. The organizational structure ensures scientificity, creating organic cohesion between each part in each organization, between the components of the force, between agencies, between agencies and units from the tactical to the strategic level; ensure smooth operation, orders from strategic to tactical levels through the fewest intermediaries to enhance the effectiveness of centralized and unified command and the ability to respond immediately to all situations. Strength is the close combination of organizational factors, human resources with weapons and equipment and Vietnamese military art to create a comprehensive strength ready to defeat all enemies in all forms of war. 100% of agencies and units are comprehensively strong, of which over 90% of agencies and units are exemplary in all aspects of work, strict self-discipline associated with building a clean and strong Party organization. 100% of main units have high combat power, deterrence, mobility, quick transition to combat readiness, overwhelming attack, solid defense. Implementing organizational adjustments, the Army must be placed under the absolute and direct leadership in all aspects of the Party, directly by the Central Military Commission and Party committees at all levels in the entire army. Adjusting the organizational structure must be consistent with the functions and tasks of agencies and units; ensuring the comprehensiveness, synchronization, rationality, and balance between the components of the force, reducing intermediate points and support and service units; prioritizing ensuring the number of troops for units performing combat training and combat readiness tasks; having a roadmap and specific steps, learning from experience while doing. The implementation process must promote the overall strength of the organizations; closely combine organizational adjustment with doing well the ideological work, organizational work and policy work; consolidate and perfect the Party committees and organizations. Based on the viewpoint of the Central Military Commission on building the Vietnam People's Army "people first, guns later" to build a contingent of cadres and Party members with pure revolutionary ethics, absolute loyalty to Marxism-Leninism and Ho Chi Minh thought, good professional qualifications, high solidarity and unity, ready to receive and excellently complete all assigned tasks. Closely combine streamlining the payroll with maintaining, attracting, training and fostering high-quality human resources to meet the requirements of building a modern army. Ensure new and modern weapons and equipment; prioritize forces that advance straight to modernity, continue to organize a number of strategic reserve units in accordance with the determination to protect the socialist Vietnamese Fatherland. Build a strong reserve force, a strong and widespread militia and self-defense force.

The 12th Corps was established to meet the requirements of the Army's missions in the new situation, in the face of complex, unpredictable and difficult-to-predict developments in the world and regional situation. The Vietnam People's Army needs to have "iron fist" main Corps with a streamlined, strong organization, equipped with modern weapons and technical means to adjust strategic planning, build, supplement and complete determination, document systems, combat plans, and develop military art. Synchronously and resolutely deploy solutions to protect the Fatherland early and from afar, improve combat readiness, proactively respond to traditional and non-traditional security challenges, and avoid being passive or surprised...
