Dong Nai armed forces step up preparations for A80 anniversary

After two rounds of combined rehearsals with other units in preparation for the celebrations of the 80th Anniversary of the August Revolution and Vietnam's Independence Day (A80), soldiers from the Dong Nai armed forces and Military Region 7 are showing great determination and readiness as the national anniversary approaches.

Having served as block leader three times for major missions, A70 (commemorating the 70th anniversary of the Dien Bien Phu Victory), A50 (marking the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification), and now A80 (celebrating 80 years since the August Revolution and Independence Day), Nguyen Le Tuyet Nhi of the Operations Department, Dong Nai Provincial Military Command, has been praised as "a resilient leader with strong sense of camaraderie". Photo: Nguyet Ha

Reports from National Military Training Center No. 4 and the Field Training Center of Infantry Officer College No. 1 indicate that, despite fatigue from repeated regional and national combined rehearsals and the harsh, unpredictable weather, alternating between sun and rain, Dong Nai’s armed forces have shown unwavering determination and focus as the grand celebration approaches.
