Lieutenant General, Professor, Dr. Phan Tung Son - Director of the Academy of Logistics highlighted some of the unit's achievements in recent years.

Amidst bombs and bullets, the cadres, lecturers and students of the Academy are always courageous and steadfast - in peace they constantly nurture the will to innovate, break through and rise up. The forces always stand side by side, wholeheartedly and wholeheartedly contributing to the further development of the Academy, successfully completing the task of training high-quality human resources for the cause of military construction.

The Academy of Logistics has a history of nearly 75 years of construction and growth.

In the 2024-2025 school year, in order to meet the requirements of military construction in the new situation, in the face of the reality of merging logistics agencies and technical agencies into logistics and technical agencies, the Academy promptly trained courses of students with thousands of mid-level logistics and technical officers (brigades) to supply units throughout the army.
