And today, the "heavenly watch" soldiers are still writing that glorious history page with the spirit of "once in battle, we are determined to win"...

Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Manh Hoan, Political Commissar of Regiment 282, affirmed: "To have the rich tradition like today, generations of officers and soldiers of the Regiment have fought bravely, sacrificed and devoted their youth. The title of Hero of the People's Armed Forces that the Party and State awarded the unit is a noble reward. We consider it a priceless asset, a foundation for building trust, training fighting spirit, and a launching pad for the soldiers "guarding the sky" of the Central region!".

In fact, at Regiment 282, traditional education work is regularly implemented with many effective and practical methods. In the political education program according to the annual basic program, agencies and units compile documents, build a system of charts, visual models... contributing to a clearer and deeper introduction of the heroic tradition, brilliant feats and outstanding achievements of the unit. Each time welcoming new soldiers, receiving young officers to work at the unit, the political agency proactively focuses on introducing specific information about history; organizing tours of traditional houses...

In the political education program for the subjects; testing political awareness in industry competitions, political agencies often incorporate questions related to the unit's traditions. At the opening ceremonies of the training launch at the beginning of the year, the final examination of phase 1 and the whole year, there are propaganda contents and questions to test the awareness of officers and soldiers about traditional history. During the participation in the mass art performance at the Division level, the times the Regiment organizes art festivals, exchanges, twinning... agencies and units attach importance to the content of propaganda about history and traditions in the form of dramatization. The Youth Union launches competitions to learn about traditions; coordinates with twinning units to organize youth forums, picking democratic flowers, cultural exchanges... the content mainly revolves around the issue of traditions.

Along with the emphasis on traditional education, Regiment 282 especially attaches importance to improving the quality of training and combat readiness (SSCD). Talking with Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Anh Thai, Commander of Regiment 282, we learned that the new feature in training is that the unit attaches importance to and enhances the mobility of air defense forces to practice tactical teams, train in a comprehensive round, and organize live ammunition firing. This approach creates initiative and creativity for the team of officers, commanders, combat crews, battery teams, and gunners, ensuring that when a situation arises, it can be handled immediately. "If in the past, training was often divided into stages, now after receiving orders, the Regiment organizes the whole package from the stage of thoroughly understanding the mission, building plans, determination to giving orders, moving weapons, equipment and practicing live fire... Maintaining this method, the intensity and frequency of work is a bit "tense" but promotes the spirit of solidarity and collective achievement," analyzed Lieutenant Colonel Nguyen Anh Thai.

According to Lieutenant Colonel Vu Cao Cuong, Political Commissar of Regiment 282, with the determination to "not let the Fatherland be surprised in any situation", the officers and soldiers of the Regiment always maintain a high state of combat readiness. In the conditions of carrying out long-term, stressful combat missions, the on-duty crews still stick close to the battlefield, ensuring the safety of special flights, maintaining a 100% target detection and management rate. Accordingly, 100% of the on-duty squads of combat readiness were recognized for completing their missions well. The maneuver drills, equipment deployment and combat situation handling were focused on, helping the combat crews improve their mettle, skills, and gradually master modern weapons and technical equipment.

Promoting the tradition of the heroic 282nd Regiment - Tam Giang Group, proud of the legendary feats of arms of the past, the cadres and soldiers today are inheriting and promoting the tradition with concrete and practical actions. On the battlefield as hot as fire, the air defense soldiers' shirts were soaked with sweat, but they were still steadfast at the launch pad with the spirit of "once in battle, we are determined to win".
