INTRODUCTION
1. Rationale for the study
Considered as a vital component of ideological work (IW) of
the Party in the Army, the task of ideological situation management
(ISM) for soldiers in general and that for cadres in particular plays an
important role in building a politically strong army; directly
contribute to raising awareness, political ideology, strengthening the
stance and views of the working class, fostering and developing the
personality quality of revolutionary cadres; build positive and
progressive thoughts, proactively prevent and fight negative and
backward thoughts, and manifestations of decline in political, ethical
and lifestyle ideals within each cadre.
Infantry Divisions (IDs) is the core, permanent fighting
readiness (FR), fighting force of the Army. The strength of IDs is a
decisive factor that creates the combined quality and combat
power of military regions. In order to contribute to the
construction of strong IDs, many issues must be resolved, of
which the political - mental factors and ISM of the division-level
officials are of crucial importance.
In recent years, the task of ISM at division level cadres in IDs
has been led and commanded by agencies and units interested in
leading and directing. The content and measures are diverse and
plentiful. However, ISM of officials in some units still has limitations
and weaknesses: Some party committees, commissioners, political
instructors, and commanders have not paid adequate attention to ISM
division level; in leadership, direction has shown signs of disregard,
even contracting to political organizations and officials; slow to
renovate content, forms and measures of implementation; lack of
initiative and acumen in forecasting and understanding the cadre of
officials. A number of officials show signs of decline in their goals,

fighting ideals, irresponsibility in management, commanding and
performing their assigned tasks and duties, violating moral qualities,
lifestyles, being attracted to In social evils, the phenomenon of
violations of the State law, especially serious violation of discipline,
has not been completely overcome.

In the years to come, the requirements of the task of the
Fatherland protection, of the army and of IDs are increasingly
demanding. The hostile forces continue to promote the strategy of
"peaceful evolution", especially in the field of ideology, reasoning
and culture by sophisticated and cunning new tactics with the scheme
to promote "self-evolution", "self-transformation". Moreover, the
negative effects from the left side of the market economy, the
division of rich and poor, social stratification also greatly influence
the ideology of DLO. The development of the Internet with social
networking sites, smart phones with many malicious information
streams is daily, hourly, direct, multi-dimensional impact on the thought
of DLO. Meanwhile, the development and use of high-tech weapons by
a number of countries in the wars in the Middle East in recent years and
the trend of hypersonic weapons development also raises many issues to
renovate the work of ISM of DLO at IDs in the Army currently.
From the above-mentioned reasons, the PhD student decided to
select the issue entitled "Innovating the task of managing ideological
situation of the division-level officials in the infantry divisions in the
Army in the current period" as the topic of this doctoral thesis.
