Although the relic is a temporary agency, it has demonstrated a correct and wise leadership role in the war strategy of the new era, which is directly the historic Ho Chi Minh campaign. The reason it is called the Ho Chi Minh Campaign Forward Command Relic is because the Ho Chi Minh Campaign Command was established at the South Vietnam Liberation Army base in Ta Thiet Krom hamlet - Loc Thanh - Loc Ninh , Song Be. After the meeting on March 25, 1975 of the Politburo and Central Military Commission, according to the assignment of the Politburo, on the same day, comrade Le Duc Tho entered Loc Ninh to join comrades Pham Hung and Van Tien Dung.

The relic is located in a forest area, there are many small and short streams flowing into the large Cam Xe stream such as Cac Lieu stream, Ong Lo stream, Bien Loc stream, Ba Gia stream, Ba Thanh stream... (Cam Xe according to calendar). The local history is a long-standing land, with a primeval forest with many types of precious trees, and next to this stream, with its powerful "martial" characteristics created many advantages for our army and people to expel the enemy in the two resistance wars against the French colonialists and the American imperialists). This is a regenerated forest, the old forest has been cut down, the regenerated forest has also been burned many times. Because the relic is a temporary institution, the camps and trenches here are mainly made of available wood materials. After a long period of destruction by rain and sun, only faint traces remain, only The bomb crater where comrade Van Tien Dung got water for daily use is still quite intact. According to the people living here, every March they burn it to grow cassava. Currently, the landscape of this area has changed a lot compared to before, vast rubber forests surround the relic area. The remaining traces such as: bomb craters for drinking water, traces of trenches are also faded, grass and trees grow quite a lot, it is very difficult to find old traces hidden by grass and trees. In 1987, General Van Tien Dung and a number of comrades from the region visited and determined the location based on the remaining traces. After that, the Binh Long district team and the people of Minh Thanh commune built a stele as a marker here. The stele is made of reinforced concrete, 3m high, 2.5m wide, on the stele is a star, under the star is written the words Ho Chi Minh Campaign Command, April 30, 1975, Minh Thanh commune. On August 20, 1990, Military Zone 7 Museum built another stele about 3m away from the old stele, 15m high, 1.5m wide, the stele was also made of reinforced concrete. In 2005, it was restored with marble until now. Source: Binh Duong province electronic information portal
