First organized in 1974 during the Vietnam War, 4th Corps had a major role in the Ho Chi Minh Campaign and the Cambodian–Vietnamese War. Today the corps is stationed in Dĩ An, Bình Dương. * Commander: Maj. Gen. Nguyễn Hoàng * Political Commissar: Maj. Gen. Nguyễn Trọng Nghĩa ==History== In July 1973, the Central Committee of the Communist Party of Vietnam after its 21st conference issued a resolution of strengthening the armed forces in order to unify the country. In executing the issue, three months later the Ministry of Defence and the Military Commission of the Central Committee approved the plan of organizing regular army corps for the Vietnam People's Army. On July 20, 1974, General Võ Nguyên Giáp, Minister of Defence, signed the edict that led to the establishment of the 4th Corps in Đông Nam Bộ, where is located the part of Mekong River called Cửu Long River (Cửu Long Giang or Sông Cửu Long), from which came the name Cửu Long Corps of the unit.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Quân đoàn 4 )〕 The first headquarters of the corps consisted of party committee secretary (''bí thư'') Hoàng Thế Thiện and commander (''tư lệnh'') Hoàng Cầm.
