In the previous games, the Vietnamese team surprised many by ranking second in the event with 101 points just behind China (114 points). However this year the team scored more points, proving their talent in both cooking and shooting.
Shooting is the first stage in the Field Kitchen contest and is compulsory in the event. The two other stages are meal cooking and baking. The menu is chosen by the team and ordered by the organizing panel.
The Field Kitchen contest sees the competition of military cooks from ten countries namely Kazakhstan, Azerbaijan, Uzbekistan, Belarus, South Africa, Russia, Armenia, Sri Lanka, Mongolia and Vietnam.
With determination and resilience, all four Vietnamese contestants are expected to get good results in the next stages of meal cooking and baking on August 8. The Vietnamese military cooks will compete with their peers from Belarus, Uzbekistan and Sri Lanka.
The two teams with highest point total in the first two stages will advance to the final of the contest.
