Officers and soldiers of the unit marched to Ta Do village.

After the historic flood, Ta Do village was devastated, 10 houses were completely swept away by the flood, 53 other houses were severely damaged, and civil works were submerged in mud. The Muong Xen - Muong Tip - Khe Kien road running through the village was landslide-prone, broken at hundreds of different points, paralyzed traffic, and completely isolated. When all directions were cut off, forces could not approach, facing the myriad of difficulties, the Muong Ai Border Guard Station Command decided to establish a working group of 18 officers and soldiers to return to the people. Lieutenant Colonel Lo Minh Hieu, Deputy Head of Muong Ai Border Guard Station, directly commanded the march and deployed the task of helping the people. The officers and soldiers carried full military equipment, necessities, and necessary tools to march on foot, crossing dozens of landslides, mountains, hills, rivers, and streams with a distance of about 15km to reach Ta Do village as soon as possible.

Talking to us, Major Nguyen Ngoc Minh Tien, Deputy Political Commissar of Muong Ai Border Guard Station, said: “The unit command and comrade Lo Minh Hieu personally directed the working group to clearly identify the trip to help the people of Ta Do village as a special mission with many potential dangers, thereby doing a good job of preparing all aspects. Along with that, we focused on thoroughly informing the officers and soldiers participating in the working group to clearly identify their responsibilities, maintain strict discipline, and ensure safety when traveling and helping the people. Although we knew that we would encounter many hardships and difficulties, most of the soldiers in the unit volunteered to participate.”

Quickly deploy disaster recovery tasks.

During the march, the working group of 18 officers and soldiers was divided into small groups of 4-5 people to cross landslides to avoid dangerous risks. After many hours of crossing dozens of landslides, above which rocks and soil could collapse at any time, the working group of officers and soldiers of Muong Ai Border Guard Station reached the center of Ta Do village. The appearance of soldiers in green uniforms quickly reassured the people in the disaster area. Here, Lieutenant Colonel Lo Minh Hieu encouraged, shared, and gave essential foods that the working group brought with them to the people. The soldiers in green uniforms quickly organized to stabilize their lives and started their mission to help the people. The working group of Muong Ai Border Guard Station will support the people until their lives gradually stabilize before returning to their units.
