Major Hoang Van Dai, a technical officer at the Wired Communication Station, Technical Support Center, Brigade 132, has had many special sea voyages. These included missions to maintain Visat radios on islands while strong storms were forming offshore. He and his colleagues had to race against the storm to keep the "lifeline of communication" intact.

Through performing missions in difficult and dangerous conditions, Major Hoang Van Dai has matured in all aspects, becoming a pillar in the technical support team of Brigade 132, and is in charge of installing and maintaining Visat and radio equipment in various units.

According to Colonel Le Sy Tuong, Political Commissar of Brigade 132, from 2008 to the present, the Brigade has been tasked with ensuring information services for the Party, the State, the Central Military Commission, and the Ministry of National Defense in commanding and directing units.

This is a very challenging but also extremely glorious task for the unit, therefore the Party Committee and command of Brigade 132 have led and implemented many comprehensive solutions to build the organization and develop personnel. They have made breakthroughs in improving training quality, digital transformation, and leveraging the development trends of science and technology to successfully complete all assigned tasks.

In particular, given the dispersed deployment of units and the numerous isolated posts and stations, the Brigade has prioritized political and ideological education, as well as traditional education. Political activities have been organized with themes such as: "As long as the heart beats, the communication arteries remain open," "The line to victory," and "For the homeland's seas and islands," to educate on traditions and the spirit of overcoming difficulties and hardships to ensure communication. This inspires the current generation of officers and soldiers, building strong collectives and fostering outstanding individuals in ensuring communication for the seas and islands.

Along with that, movements and models such as: "Information teams and stations following Uncle Ho's teachings," "Model teams and stations," "Closer-military-civilian ties, safe cable lines," "Youth on duty shifts," "Youth on the front lines day," "Youth-managed equipment rooms," "Model youth cable lines,"... have been widely implemented, promoting the pioneering and exemplary spirit of cadres and Party members and the proactive role of young people in fulfilling political tasks.

Colonel Nguyen Thanh Hai, Commander of Brigade 132, stated that in order to implement the strategy "Developing the military communication system for the period 2021-2030, with a vision to 2045" and build a revolutionary, regular, elite, and modern military branch to meet the requirements of the mission in the new situation, Brigade 132 has been implementing breakthroughs in science and technology development, innovation, digital transformation, administrative reform, and the "Digital literacy" movement.

To date, the military communication system in the Central-Central Highlands region and in maritime and island areas has always been ensured to be smooth, stable, and flexible with various forms. Radio equipment has been upgraded technologically, improving efficiency to meet the requirements of the new situation. Visat communication has received investment, contributing to ensuring regular and stable communication, combat readiness in all situations, and maintaining signal strength at the forefront of the network.
