During the resistance war against the French colonialists, many agencies were established, stationed and worked at ATK Dinh Hoa. Among these is the Department of Information, Ministry of National Defense. On July 31, 1949, the Minister of National Defense issued Decree No. 123/ND establishing the Information Department under the General Command of the National Army and the Vietnam Militia and Self-Defense Force. The agency was established on the basis of the Military Communications Department with comrade Hoang Dao Thuy as Head of the Department. According to the Decree, the Information Department is the agency that advises the High Command on communications; Organize and maintain communication from the General Staff to the battlefields and professional guidance units; Equip technical material for communication units under the Ministry of National Defense and the Commander-in-Chief; Unify all communications forces at the Ministry of Defense and the Vietnam Radio Service and put them in the Department of Information formation.

Mr. Hoang Van Chuc, born in 1942, in Khuoi Tat hamlet, Quy Ky commune confirmed: The area where the Information Department works is located halfway up the hill, the leveling is relatively large. After moving, this place still hid a lot of machines and telephones, but now they are gone and almost lost. In May 1953, the Information Department moved its location to Khuan Giang hamlet, Trung Hoi commune (from 1953 to present, Trung Luong commune, Dinh Hoa).
