Immediately after the Minister of National Defense issued Directive No. 82/CT-BQP on the implementation of the A80 task, the General Department of Military and Technical Services urgently developed a plan, organized advance teams, and conducted field surveys at each military and training location. Military and Technical Services units throughout the army proactively reviewed and adjusted regular logistics plans, prioritizing the A80 task. Plans to ensure food, accommodation, daily activities, and transportation of troops and logistics supplies were implemented methodically, scientifically, and meticulously. Transport units under the Department of Motorcycles and Transport closely coordinated with relevant forces, organizing hundreds of vehicle trips and 4 trains to bring troops from the Central, Southern, and Northern provinces to the capital Hanoi on time and in absolute safety.

Logistics staff prepare meals for troops practicing for parades and marches.

Directly inspecting the training and joint training points, ensuring food, accommodation and daily activities for the forces participating in the A80 mission, Major General Huynh Tan Hung, Deputy Director of the General Department of Logistics and Technology, directed and encouraged the logistics officers, employees and soldiers: "Logistics work must always be one step ahead, taking good care of food and rest to ensure good health and spirit for the troops. This is extremely important, contributing to the Army's successful completion of the A80 mission."

Sharing with us, Colonel Nguyen Anh Ngoc, Chief of Military Region 2's HC-KT affirmed: "We clearly define the motto of ensuring "sufficient, timely, quality, safe, economical". All work is closely coordinated with related forces. The process of mobilizing forces to the station and training locations, joint training, preliminary review, general rehearsal, and official tasks must be carefully prepared, ensuring absolute safety, not allowing any negligence to occur".

At the gathering points, the eating and living areas for the soldiers are scientifically arranged and renovated. From the rooms to the dining room, kitchen, bathroom, toilet, parking lot, military equipment warehouse... everything is clean and convenient. The water supply system and lighting are reasonably connected, convenient for daily life both day and night. Each battalion has a medical team on duty 24/7, closely monitoring the health of each soldier.

Since the beginning of June, the logistics force serving the parade and marching training blocks has organized dozens of kitchens to serve thousands of meals every day, distributed tens of thousands of summer uniforms, hundreds of boxes of medical equipment, medicines and many living equipment. At the same time, timely supplemented catering equipment, improved dining and kitchen equipment, from oil stove systems, electric stoves to direct drinking water filters, ensuring that soldiers can practice with peace of mind.

Dozens of mobile medical teams were organized; 3 emergency clinics for heatstroke and sunstroke were deployed with a scale of 30 to 50 beds/clinic with a system of modern medical equipment and a team of skilled and experienced doctors from military hospitals on duty... In particular, the Military Preventive Medicine Institute (Department of Military Medicine, General Department of HC-KT) established 6 specialized teams, each training cluster has 1 epidemic prevention and control team and 1 food safety team. These teams conduct food quality inspections, monitor environmental hygiene and are ready to respond to epidemic and food poisoning situations. Environmental hygiene is one of the tasks that is given special attention. The field toilet system is located in convenient and reasonable locations. Waste is collected and treated daily according to a closed process, not allowing it to accumulate and cause pollution, affecting the health of soldiers.

Major Cao Minh Giang, Quartermaster Assistant, Quartermaster Department (Department of Personnel and Technical, Special Forces) shared: “The parade practice time is long with high training intensity. We ensure to serve each meal and sleep of the soldiers well, while preparing for any arising situations, ready to handle them most effectively.”

The HC-KT soldiers have been silently and diligently serving the forces practicing for the parade and marching. Small acts, such as a bowl of soup cooked to the taste of their homeland, a well-fitting military uniform, a box of cool drinks... are timely encouragements, helping officers and soldiers to be more determined to practice and complete the A80 mission well.
