Having the opportunity to participate in the 1st Congress of the Party Committee of Transport Brigade 653, term 2025 - 2030, besides careful preparation, one of the factors contributing to the success of the congress is promoting the spirit of self-criticism and criticism of cadres and party members in the Party Committee.

The conference issued a resolution on leadership in implementing the 2025 tasks of the Party Committee of Transport Brigade 653.

The congress took place not long after the 653rd Transport Brigade was established on the basis of merging the 653rd Transport Regiment (Logistics Department of Military Region 3) and the 273rd Water Transport Brigade (Military Region 3). This was a period that posed many difficulties and challenges for the Party Committee and commanders of the unit. The congress was not only an opportunity for the Party Committee and cadres and party members in the Party Committee to look back and evaluate the leadership results in the past time, but also had an important meaning in determining policies, leadership measures and orientations for the unit to comprehensively complete its tasks in the coming time.

Realizing that, in the political report and the review report of the Brigade Party Executive Committee, they all focused on analyzing and evaluating the shortcomings and limitations during the merger period and when they were first established. In the management and discussion suggestions, the Presidium asked the delegates to go straight to the points that the Party Committee had not done and to propose leadership solutions to improve the quality of training and combat readiness, especially doing a good job of ideological work, focusing on ensuring safety during the transportation of materials and people.

Promoting the spirit of self-criticism and criticism, the delegates all acknowledged the results and seriously pointed out the shortcomings and limitations in the leadership process of the Party Committee and commanders at the Party cells and Party organizations where they were active and working. The opinions not only contributed to the draft Political Report but also frankly contributed to the review report of the Party Committee of the Brigade. In addition to the Party members holding command and management positions participating in giving their opinions, young Party members, assistants and staff also actively contributed to the congress documents in general and the leadership and direction of the Party Committees and commanders at all levels in particular.
