Braving the rain and floods to ensure communication

The torrential rains over the past few days have caused the mountainous areas of Tra My and Tra Leng (Da Nang city) to struggle with floods, landslides, traffic disruption, power grid paralysis, complete loss of communication signals, and people's lives to be disrupted.

While the people were in dire straits, the army was present in time. The officers and soldiers came to the people with responsibility, loyalty and the spirit of serving the people. Amidst the pouring rain, landslides, and rising floodwaters, the only road to Tra My and Tra Leng was cut off. But the officers and soldiers of the 575th Information Brigade still quietly climbed the slopes, crossed the forests, and held on to key locations, restoring the broken communication lines.

Following the direction of the Military Region 5 Command, the 575th Information Brigade dispatched a mobile VSAT rescue vehicle to the scene, ensuring communication in the area.

The mobile route to the scene had to cross many landslide areas. The unit closely coordinated with the 270th Engineer Brigade and local forces to overcome the situation and quickly arrive at the scene.

Under the wet rain, equipment maintenance and care are carried out regularly.

Despite the cold rain, strong winds, wet equipment, and interference, the Information soldiers persisted, braved the rain, strained themselves to "catch" the waves, and restored the signal.

While restoring communication, ensuring transmission lines and transmitting live images of the functional forces dealing with landslides to the Military Region Command Headquarters to serve command and control.

“Ensuring uninterrupted communication in all situations” is the slogan and motto of the Signal Corps. (In the photo: Colonel Nguyen Van Hoa, Deputy Chief of Staff of the Military Region, inspects the mobile communication vehicle).

In the howling wind and howling rain, the field transmitting and receiving station was set up, restoring the command information network in the isolated area. Carrying on the tradition of “Timely, accurate, confidential, safe” and ensuring smooth communication in all situations to maintain the command and control information bloodline of Military Region 5 is the command from the heart of the information soldier.
