The Ghana’s Infantry Battalion is tasked with operations in the Southern sector of the UNISFA area of responsibility. Rumamier, located 35 kilometers south of the Highway base, serves as the temporary deployment location for this unit. However, due to the challenging terrains, during the rainy season, nearly all roads and camps in this area are inundated, making movement impossible. In light of this situation, UNISFA has requested enhanced military presence in the area, organizing a force of 55 personnel on permanent duty. Vietnam’s Engineering Company Rotation 2 has been tasked with constructing a sturdy base for the Ghanaian unit.

Senior Colonel Nguyen Viet Hung, Head of Vietnam's Engineering Company Rotation 2 and Commanding Officer of the Vietnamese force participating in U.N. peacekeeping operations at UNISFA, stated, "Immediately upon receiving the order, we identified two key tasks. First, stabilizing the ground in that area to ensure the implementation of subsequent tasks, such as constructing helicopter landing pads, barracks, etc. Second, coordinating with the partner unit to ensure safety for our engineering troops when conducting tasks far from the base."
