The Vietnam Militia and Self-Defence Force (MASDF; Vietnamese: Dân quân tự vệ Việt Nam, lit. 'Self-defence Militia of Vietnam'), also recognized as the Vietnam Self-Defence Militia (Vietnamese: Dân quân tự vệ - DQTV, lit. 'Self-defence Militia') or simply the Militia (Dân quân), is the militia and reserve force of Vietnam. Placed under the politically leadership of the Communist Party of Vietnam, the administration of the Vietnam Ministry of National Defence, the management from the local and national governments as well as the direct command of the local military headquarters, MASDF is one of the three major components of the Vietnam People's Armed Forces, it serves an important role in the Vietnamese national defence strategies and cultures. Defined as the "armed force of the mass" that is organized as local-level units, MASDF's career is not meant to be "separated from production activities and work", making it a part-time territorial force.[1]
Foundation and history[edit]
On March 1935, the Indochinese Communist Party (now succeeded by the Communist Party of Vietnam) First National Congress issued the "Resolution on Self-Defence Teams", being the formal establishment of the Vietnamese militia and the initial iteration of the Vietnam Militia and Self-Defence Force. Since then, the Militia had contribution to the Vietnamese resistance against the French and Japanese colonialists and engaged in the August Revolution of Vietnam. Since the Vietnamese independence, MASDF has participated in pretty much every conflict in Vietnam, including wars against France and the United States. In the Vietnam War, MASDF is credited for 10% of the total US planes shot down over North Vietnam.[2]
