Answer

In 1960, Ho Chi Minh named Tung the commander of the special forces, an elite unit tasked with performing counterinsurgency operations. The unit quickly became a valuable asset for the Viet Minh, and its raids on French positions helped to demoralize the enemy. Tung's leadership of the special forces also earned him a reputation as a skilled and effective military commander.
