The Hanoi Capital Command[2] (Vietnamese: Bộ tư lệnh Thủ đô Hà Nội) of the People's Army of Vietnam, is directly under the responsibility of the Ministry of Defense of Vietnam, tasked to organise, build, manage and command armed forces defending Hanoi, the capital of Vietnam.

History

The predecessor of Hanoi Capital Command was established in October 1945 as Hanoi Special Zone (lit. Khu đặc biệt Hà Nội). By November 1946, the state was reorganized into 12 War Zones （Vietnamese: Chiến khu）. Hanoi was reorganized into the 11th War Zone, also known as the Hanoi Front. When the French Indochina War broke out on 19 December 1946, the Hanoi Front was annexed into 2nd War Zone. From 1 November 1948, 2nd War Area was placed directly under the authority of 3rd Joint Zone（Vietnamese: Liên Khu, but by May 1949, Hanoi was split to reform the independent Hanoi Front again, falling under the command of the PAVN General Command. It was maintained until after 1954 under the name Hanoi Zone. By 1957, the General Command established troops of Hanoi under the control of General Command until 1 August 1964, when it was placed directly under the 3rd Military Region. However, in September 1964, it was reorganized again into the independent Capital Command. On 5 March 1979, by Ordinance 28-LCT, the Capital Military Region was established on the basis of the Capital Command, to manage militarily the city of Hanoi. In 1999, the jurisdiction of the Capital Military Region expanded to include the old Hà Tây province (merged with Hanoi since 2008).

On May 29, 2008, during the 3rd session of the 12th National Assembly, the National Assembly has approved Resolution 15 on the expansion of the jurisdiction of Hanoi to include the whole Hà Tây province, Mê Linh district of Vĩnh Phúc province and 4 wards (Đông Xuân, Tiến Xuân, Yên Bình, Yên Trung) of Lương Sơn district in Hòa Bình province. During the execution phase of Resolution 15, the (then) President Nguyễn Minh Triết issued Executive Order no. 16/2008/L-CTN to reorganize the Capital Military Region into the Hanoi Capital Command. Right after that, the (then) Minister of National Defence Phùng Quang Thanh issued Decision no. 2192/QĐ-BQP to incorporate Hà Tây province Military Command, Hanoi city Military Command and Mê Linh district Military Command (then under the jurisdiction of Vĩnh Phúc province Military Command in the 2nd Military Region) into the new Hanoi Capital Command.
