According to regulations, in this stage, crews perform tasks similar to the "Individual Race" stage. The only difference is that after the first crew reaches the finish line, its members have to hand over the baton to the second crew, which then moves to the site where the first crew left the reconnaissance vehicle and overcomes all the obstacles in the same sequence as the first crew.

Members of the chemical team of the Vietnam People’s Army confidently and excellently competed with its strong and experienced rivals to obtain high results in this year’s “Safe Environment” contest.
