It portrays the historical and cultural traditions of the land and people of Hoa Binh since the founding of the Party and the establishment of the provincial armed forces. It highlights the growth and development of the forces, the strong bond between the military and civilians in the cause of building and defending the fatherland, and key activities of the forces in recent times.
On this occasion, the Ministry of National Defence awarded the insignia "For the cause of VPA's building" to five provincial leaders for their distinctive services.
