History

7th Army

The commander of LXV Corps within 19th Army until he was appointed to lead 7th Army in 2764, Nguyen was reputed to be one of the more aggressive and determined senior officers in the SLDF, his promotion was intended to improve the performance of the struggling 7th Army. Allowed to bring his own staff from the 19th Army, he sought to visit many of the units within his command as soon as possible, and hoped to shake up its command structure to remove underperforming officers.

A native of the Lyran Commonwealth, during his inspection tour he also worked hard to develop a good relationship with the local Capellan Confederation nobility. They viewed him as a gentlemen, and he had received assurances that the CCAF units they commanded would support his units in an emergency. He also planned to use his political skills on the section of the Free Worlds League border which his troops operated on, in order to reassure them of his peaceful intentions and neutrality as well.[3]

Amaris Civil War

Huong remained in command of 7th Army during the Amaris Civil War, participating in Operation LIBERATION in 2777, including the fighting in South East Asia on Terra against the 19th Amaris Dragoons.[2]
