The workload is large and the requirements are increasingly high while the living conditions of some small units working at the border and islands are still lacking; the weather is complicated; facilities and technical equipment are degraded. Therefore, the Party Committee and the command of the 513th Engineer Brigade always focus on implementing the Emulation Movement for Victory (TĐQT) in an orderly and effective manner in conjunction with the movements and campaigns of all levels and sectors; identifying it as an important measure to promote internal strength, overcome difficulties, and perform tasks well.

In order for emulation activities to always go in the right direction and bring about practical results, the Brigade requires agencies, units and individuals to closely follow the practical situation, proactively build and replicate models and movements with easy-to-remember themes and names, specific criteria, with focus and key points. In particular, the emulation activities are directed towards implementing well the "3 breakthroughs" according to the Resolution of the 11th Army Party Congress and the Resolution of the 9th Military Region 3 Party Congress; focusing on overcoming weaknesses, solving difficulties in training, combat readiness, building regularity, discipline training, drills, competitions, sports, construction of defense works... This helps the Emulation Movement to be deployed vigorously and widely; turning the individual strength of each person, agency and unit into a combined strength.

The unit has many units that perform scattered and small tasks outside the barracks, in remote areas, border areas, islands, and jobs with high potential for unsafety, so the Brigade has promoted the Movement "Implementing a regular lifestyle, practicing discipline", "The whole unit acts according to orders" and deployed many flexible measures to educate and raise the awareness of self-discipline and compliance with regulations for soldiers. That has helped the Brigade's management of troops and weapons and equipment to be strict and in-depth; the unit has no serious violations of discipline.

Colonel Nguyen Son, Political Commissar of the 513th Engineer Brigade, affirmed: The most important thing is to promote the role and responsibility of Party committees, commanders, political agencies, especially political cadres at all levels in advising, leading, directing and boldly innovating the content and form of organizing emulation activities to create "new winds" to attract cadres and soldiers to voluntarily and enthusiastically compete. In addition, it is necessary to skillfully combine the International Emulation Movement with campaigns and emulation movements of each sector to unify the content and targets, avoid overlap and inadequacies. Resolutely fight against the disease of achievements, subjective thinking, and mediocrity in emulation; create real motivation for cadres and soldiers to strive and mature.

With outstanding results, summarizing the 2020 International Movement, the Brigade was awarded the Emulation Flag by the Military Region 3 Command; in 2021 and 2024, it was awarded the Emulation Flag of the Ministry of National Defense .
