However, besides that, the situation of launching emulation campaigns with similar content, signing grandiose agreements but in reality "launching but not moving" still exists in many agencies and units, causing waste of money and time, leading to counterproductive emulation. What solutions are needed to prevent this situation?

To do well the emulation and reward work (TĐKT) and the Emulation Movement for Victory, the cadres at all levels in the units have correctly recognized the position and importance of this work. From there, proactively perfecting the emulation councils (groups) at all levels according to the correct structure and composition; supplementing regulations and rules on TĐKT work and developing plans and instructions for emulation activities close to the characteristics of tasks and practical situations of each agency and unit. The responsibility of the Party Committee and the unit's leaders for TĐKT activities has been raised; the team of political commissars, political officers, and political agencies at all levels have promoted their core role, proactively advised and proposed many policies and measures to lead and direct innovation in content and diversification of forms; ensuring that the emulation movement is always deployed synchronously, in the right direction, and takes place vigorously and widely.

Officers and soldiers of Regiment 8 (Division 395) compete to train well and achieve high results.

However, in practice, the process of implementing emulation activities in some agencies and units at some times is still formal and half-hearted, launching grandly but maintaining emulation irregularly, causing the movement to fall into a lull. Individually, there are agencies and units that determine emulation targets and content in a stereotyped, mechanical way, not close to the task and implementation capacity... According to Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Ngoc Triu, Political Commissar of Brigade 242 (Military Region 3): "Organizing emulation like that not only wastes money, lowers the position and role of emulation work, but also reduces the motivation and will to strive of officers and soldiers. Usually, these units will have low quality of performing tasks".

To overcome the above situation, Colonel Le Van Dang, Political Commissar of Brigade 454 (Military Region 3) said that when launching the emulation movement, agencies and units need to clearly define the theme with specific content and targets, closely following the key political tasks, urgent and important work. In which, emulation should focus on implementing well the "3 breakthroughs" according to the Resolution of the 11th Party Congress of the Army; aiming to completely overcome weak points, solve difficulties in training, combat readiness, building regulations, discipline training, drills, competitions, sports... The emulation process must promote the role of the emulation council (group) in maintaining order, inspection regime, evaluating daily and weekly results; combining with doing well the preliminary and final work, drawing lessons, promptly correcting limitations and shortcomings.

As the main unit and regularly holding the leading flag in implementing the Emulation Movement for Victory of Military Region 3, Colonel Bui Xuan Binh, Political Commissar of Division 395 shared his experience: “The most important thing is to promote the role and responsibility of Party committees and cadres at all levels in organizing emulation activities. This will overcome the mindset of leaving it to chance, considering emulation activities as the sole responsibility of political agencies and political cadres . In addition, emulation must be linked with rewards; when voting for rewards, it is necessary to be objective, impartial, and to choose the right person for the right job; taking emulation results as the top important criterion to evaluate the capacity and qualifications of cadres, party members and the quality of task completion of each agency and unit”.
