According to Consolidated Document 123/2026/VBHN-PL-VPQH Ordinance on Preferential Treatment of People with Meritorious Services to the Revolution, dated August 5, 2026 (consolidating Ordinance on Preferential Treatment of People with Meritorious Services to the Revolution No. 02/2020/UBTVQH14 and Ordinance No. 05/2026/UBTVQH16 amending and supplementing a number of articles of the Ordinance on Preferential Treatment of People with Meritorious Services to the Revolution, effective from January 1, 2027):

Point h, Clause 1, Article 23, Consolidated Document 123/2026/VBHN-PL-VPQH, stipulates that officers, professional soldiers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers in the People's Army and officers, non-commissioned officers, soldiers in the People's Police who are injured with a body injury rate of 21% or more are considered by competent agencies and units to be recognized as wounded soldiers, issued "Wounded Soldier Certificate" and "Wounded Soldier Badge" when falling into one of the following cases: Point h) Bravely rescuing people, rescuing property of the State, of the People or bravely preventing, arresting people with criminal acts.
