In order to assess troops’ competence and ability, this year’s competition consisted of both practical and theoretical categories in various fields, such as command and staff, politics, logistics, and techniques.
Particularly, the practical part focused on the troops’ preparation for training sessions as well as combat documents and their implementation of combat readiness shifting, to name but a few.
According to Senior Colonel Bui Duc Hien, ADAF Service’s Second-in-Command, this year’s event had new contents in line with reality and the future, such as assessing and forecasting the enemy and its advancement; updating and putting new equipment and weapons into use; and learning from experience gained during recent wars, among others.
“The steering committee and organizing panel of the competition also took the occasion to have a broader vision of the participants’ competence, leadership, and ability at all levels,” added Senior Colonel Bui Duc Hien.
Throughout the competition, the participants were well aware of all theoretical contents and features of their assigned weapons and equipment, as well as their missions in each position. They also had chance to hone their skills in exactly assessing hostile forces and reporting them to higher levels and other units in a timely manner.
Colonel Luong The Tuyen, Commanding Officer of Regiment 292, Division 377, held that this was an occasion for troops to gain knowledge and experience and apply it to their task performance.
In order to raise combat readiness competence and protect airspace, Senior Colonel Bui Duc Hien requested the participating units study the enemy’s technologies, such as unmanned aerial vehicles (UAV), high-tech weapons, ultra-light flying vehicles, and stealth aircraft, among others.
Meanwhile, radar regiments under the ADAF Service should conduct one-side, two-level exercises with tabletop and field training contents for their troops to raise their will, competence, and ability, as well as their mobility, in line with reality.
