Accordingly, Engineering Team No. 3 has maintained, repaired and upgraded over 300 km of main supply roads, with an average width of 20-24 m, ensuring 4-6 lanes for heavy trucks to move during the dry season, ensuring vehicles can move at a maximum speed of 70 km/h, thereby contributing to improving and developing traffic infrastructure and mobility, patrolling to ensure security, especially in emergency situations.

The 3rd Engineering Team also researched and applied the K-31 chemical technology (soil hardener) to treat the airport surface of 27,215 m2, contributing to dustproofing, waterproofing and preventing water stagnation on the runway surface, helping to minimize operational disruption and save resources, which was praised and commended by the UNISFA mission leaders; helping the airport maintain stable operations, becoming an effective transportation, supply and manpower rotation center.

Along with that, the 3rd Engineering Team organized the construction of two large-scale factories in just 3 months (compared to the original plan of 6 months) in the harsh weather conditions of the rainy season; deployed the construction of smart barracks for peacekeeping units at the mission, all ahead of schedule, ensuring good quality. In addition, the unit also performed many other tasks, all of which were completed with good quality, such as rescuing more than 200 heavy trucks and tankers of units under the mission and of the people, contributing to clearing the main roads that were congested for a long time; performed loading and unloading, moving equipment and goods of the mission.

The Mission Commander and the Division Commander sent letters of praise and assessed the Hospital's expertise as exceeding the prescribed capacity for a level 2 field hospital of the United Nations at the Mission and was reported and promoted at the United Nations Headquarters.

With a sense of responsibility and high medical expertise, Level 2 Field Hospital No. 6 has created absolute trust and is a reliable medical examination and treatment address for leaders, United Nations staff, local authorities and people; the Head of the Medical Agency and the Chief of Military Medicine of the Mission has requested to keep patients for treatment with many difficult cases that need to be transferred to higher levels.

In addition, Level 2 Field Hospital No. 6 has conducted more than 6,500 physical therapy sessions, creating a high reputation for Vietnamese traditional medicine expertise; proactively developed disease prevention and control plans and effectively implemented measures to prevent and control malaria, monkeypox, and cholera.
