On the eve of the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day (April 30, 1975 - April 30, 2025), the 87th Chemical Brigade, Chemical Corps is urgently completing all preparations, ready to become a steel shield to ensure absolute safety in terms of chemistry, biology, radiation, and nuclear, especially for the important parade and march in Ho Chi Minh City.

This is an important task to ensure safety before the ceremony takes place.

The key factor ensuring the ability to respond quickly and effectively to chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear threats is the equipment and weapons system. Brigade 87 mobilized maximum forces, reviewed, preserved, and maintained all vehicles, weapons, and specialized equipment.

Deeply aware of the special importance of the April 30th celebration, the unit determined that the task of ensuring chemical, biological, radioactive and nuclear safety is a top political requirement, requiring careful and synchronous preparation and the highest spirit of combat readiness.

This is a type of equipment produced by the Chemical Corps, protecting the respiratory system, eyes and facial skin from the harmful effects of toxic substances, radioactive dust and biological agents in the air.

The key factor ensuring the ability to respond quickly and effectively to threats is the equipment and weapon system.

Scenario handling drills are continuously held, from detecting sources of danger, zoning, warning, to deploying forces, means of decontamination, and rescue.

To develop realistic response plans, agencies and units in the Brigade have closely coordinated with other units, carefully surveying the field in key areas where parades, marches and other events are expected to take place within the framework of the 50th anniversary of national reunification.

According to observations, each route, assembly area, grandstand, and key location were measured, marked, and analyzed for factors that could affect the spread or pose potential chemical, biological, radioactive, and nuclear risks.

In particular, to ensure absolute safety for the April 30th celebration, Brigade 87 has developed detailed plans and scenarios, ready to handle the most complex situations that may arise. The plans are designed to be proactive, flexible and effective, focusing on close coordination between relevant forces.

With modern means and equipment such as ID-1 and D-1 reconnaissance vehicles, scouts can detect and provide early warning of dozens of types of chemical toxins, industrial toxins, biological agents, and radiation.

In particular, coordination exercises between squads are emphasized, ensuring that the response process takes place quickly, accurately, synchronously and effectively.

The 87th Chemical Brigade is always at the highest state of readiness, determined to prevent any incidents related to chemistry, biology, radiation, or nuclear, contributing to the overall success of the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification.
