the requirements and the tasks of party work and political work continue to be developed and increased Thus, the results of the thesis are just primary ones, the issue of the EP capacity and the enhancement of the EP capacity of PI in the infantry divisions should be studied, supplemented and investigated more deeply and thoroughly in the coming years./  ... cadres by Hoang Van Thanh;
