Outstanding Radar Station Chief

On a beautiful sunny day in Quang Ngai, we visited Radar Station 550 of Regiment 351, Region 3 of the Navy, stationed on Ly Son Island, to meet Major Cao Xuan Duy, who had just received the title of "Most Outstanding Radar Station Commander of the Navy in 2024".

Radar Station 550 is tasked with closely observing and controlling its assigned sea area, ensuring it remains unprepared in all situations. The station's officers and personnel will observe, detect, and monitor the activities of ships and boats operating in the sea under their management via radar screens, accurately reporting to higher-level command centers for timely action when situations arise. While seemingly simple, this task requires the station's officers and soldiers to undergo thorough, practical, and proficient training to effectively use and master the radar equipment in the unit's inventory.

According to Station Chief Cao Xuan Duy, to successfully complete the assigned key tasks, he and the Station Command Board unified the implementation of combat training tasks for each branch and unit, organized the drafting and approval of training lesson plans, built models and teaching aids; trained the teaching staff and organized training according to the schedule, with the correct and sufficient time and content. During the training process, the unit focused on in-depth training in the operation and mastery of weapons, equipment, and radar, especially the new generation equipment that had been deployed... The Station Command assigned highly skilled and experienced military personnel with many years of service to guide, mentor, and train new recruits using a hands-on approach. This is one of the effective measures that helps officers and soldiers quickly access, manage, and skillfully use the equipment, and perform their assigned professional tasks well.

Colonel Nguyen Huu Hung, Political Commissar of Regiment 351, stated: Comrade Cao Xuan Duy has always been proactive and diligent in self-study and training to improve his professional skills, expertise, and work style, meeting the requirements of his assigned tasks very well. In his capacity as station chief, Comrade Cao Xuan Duy effectively promotes democracy, working with the station's Party committee and commanders to discuss measures to implement work plans that closely align with mission requirements; he fosters unity, is attentive to and caring about the living conditions of the soldiers.
