In August 1945, together with the whole country, implementing the "General Uprising" order of the National Uprising Committee, the people in the province simultaneously rose up to seize power, breaking the shackles of colonial slavery. To protect the independence and freedom of the country and the newly won revolutionary government in the locality, on August 23, 1945, the first liberation army unit of our province was formed - the predecessor of the current provincial armed forces. In the early days of its establishment, the provincial armed forces encountered many difficulties, hardships and sacrifices, and at times had to disperse to live among the people. However, the cadres and soldiers remained loyal and faithful to the revolutionary cause. During the two long resistance wars against colonialism and imperialism (1946-1975), the provincial armed forces, together with the Party Committee and people of all ethnic groups in the province, united as one, together with the army and people of the whole country, smashed all enemy invasion plots, liberated the nation, unified the country, and brought our country's revolution into a new era - the era of national independence and socialism. To mark the birth and maturity of the provincial armed forces, on August 12, 2005, the Commander of Military Region 5 issued Decision No. 30/QD-QK to take August 23 every year as the traditional day of the Ninh Thuan provincial armed forces.
