The task of mobile operations as well as logistics support on trains has been carried out by relevant units of the Ministry of National Defense to ensure the best conditions for the troops.

Under the direction of the Head of the Ministry of National Defense and the Head of the General Department of Logistics and Engineering, the Department of Motorcycles and Transport was assigned to coordinate with agencies and units inside and outside the army to organize the mobile transportation of forces, equipment, and vehicles to serve the parade on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification Day.

Speaking to reporters, Colonel Dinh Hoang Huyen, Deputy Director of the Department of Motorcycles and Transport, said that to ensure the work of bringing forces participating in the parade to the South to perform their duties, the Department has advised leaders at all levels to flexibly apply transportation methods, including transportation by car, train and air.

With the goal of ensuring timeliness and absolute safety for the forces participating in the parade, the Department of Motor Vehicles and Transport has selected the best officers, commanders, drivers, and technicians, and has paid special attention to selecting and ensuring good technical equipment for the vehicles participating in the mission. In addition, the Department has coordinated with local technical support facilities on the train's journey to be ready to support and assist the mobile forces when marching through the area.

“The mobile force to carry out the mission in Ho Chi Minh City is very large, so we organized 5 trains, carrying the same spirit and determination as our 5 armies that were determined to liberate the South and unify the country 50 years ago,” said Colonel Dinh Hoang Huyen.

Specifically, groups 1, 2, 3, 4 depart from Hanoi station; group 5 departs from Tam Ky station, Quang Nam to Bien Hoa station, Dong Nai. Groups 1, 2, 3, 4 will stop at Dong Hoi, Da Nang, Dieu Tri, Nha Trang stations. Group 5 will stop at Dieu Tri, Nha Trang stations.

The Deputy Director of the Department of Motor Vehicles and Transport also said that the Department has coordinated with the railway industry, agencies inside and outside the military, especially local authorities where the trains pass through to stop for about 30 minutes so that the parade and marching forces can get off the train to participate in exchanges with the people and local authorities.

The logistics work was planned very carefully, especially paying attention to the health of the soldiers during the march. In addition to implementing the regime according to the standards of the Ministry of National Defense, the food used during the journey was strictly controlled at the input, inspected, tested for quality, ensuring hygiene and safety for the marching force on the ship.

Before the vehicle moved, the medical force thoroughly cleaned and disinfected the entire train. There was a medical staff on each train car, and the Military Medical Department organized a mobile medical team with adequate technical equipment on board to be ready to ensure the health of the soldiers.

As planned, on the evening of April 3, thousands of soldiers from the parade and marching groups boarded trains to the South. On the evening of April 4, two trains will continue to transport the remaining forces from the parade and marching groups to the South to join forces with other units and train in preparation for the 50th Anniversary of the Liberation of the South and National Reunification./.
