L2FH Rotation 3’s personnel, including members of the Logistics Unit, at a send-off ceremony before heading to South Sudan |
According to Major Ho Tien Hung, head of the unit, it is not easy to ensure logistical services for troops when abroad. All members of the unit have tried their best to provide delicious and nutritious meals for the hospital’s workers, ensure electricity and water, as well as safe driving, and more.
Responsible for making sure that the generator system works well, Lieutenant Colonel Chu Duc Hiep takes advantage of his free time to support and create necessary utensils for other hospital members. His high responsibility and readiness to share experience in adapting to work and life in Bentiu are highly appreciated by his colleagues.

The Logistics Unit always tries its best to complete its missions |
Like Hiep, other members of the Logistics Unit used to work for the L2FH Rotation 1 or have worked in other positions at the UN Mission in South Sudan, including two chefs, Major Ho Tien Hung, and Major Dinh Minh Ky, and non-commissioned First Lieutenant Nguyen Van Tam who heads the group of drivers.
These logistics troops shared that it is their great honor to do peacekeeping missions, thus they volunteered to continue their work at the UN Mission in South Sudan. “Experiences gained through meaningful work in South Sudan always bring us special joy,” said Major Dinh Minh Ky.

Upgrading the hospital’s compound |
Though taking different missions, Vietnamese peacekeepers have promoted their unity and consider each other their family members. They have weathered difficulties in a poor country with harsh weather like South Sudan and exerted their efforts to complete the noble peacekeeping mission.
“My unit is my house and the place where I can make contributions,” said non-commissioned First Lieutenant Nguyen Van Tam. Therefore, seeing several facilities, such as the kitchen, bathing room, and working room for the L2FH Rotation 3' personnel downgraded, members of the Logistics Unit have spent time, including weekends, to upgrade them. At present, the living area for the hospital’s personnel is more spacious, cleaner and decorated with flowers and vegetables while the kitchen is arranged more logically.

The hospital’s main gate with lotus flowers |
In an arid and water-scarce place like Bentiu, the hospital itself is able to take fresh water from an RO water purification system. In addition, its new main gate has been upgraded and reopened while the camera system has been improved to ensure security for the hospital.
With the joint efforts of the Logistics Unit members and other hospital personnel, the L2FH Rotation 3’s stationed area has become a green oasis, contributing to improving the material and spiritual lives of Vietnamese blue-berets.
In fact, the more difficult work members of the Logistics Unit take, the higher determination they have to complete their assignments. These dynamic, optimistic, and industrious troops are deserving to be Uncle Ho’s soldiers. They have also earned the high praise of the hospital’s Directorate and colleagues.
