Thanh Hoa province's maritime militia force in training at sea |
Hoang Hoa district is among the areas with numerous offshore fishing vessels. The majority of the maritime militia force consists of fishermen operating in large and dispersed fishing grounds, with limited training opportunities. Therefore, the district's military command annually devises training plans and realistic exercises that align with the fishermen's schedules. The maritime militia force units undergo rigorous and scientifically-organized training, covering specified contents with different timeframes, focusing on imparting information to enhance public awareness of safeguarding maritime sovereignty and responding to accidents at sea.
According to Head of Hoang Truong Commune's Military Command Le Xuan Tung, thanks to comprehensive training, the maritime militia force has closely coordinated with the border guard and fisheries surveillance forces, as well as other units to protect maritime sovereignty and border security at sea. Additionally, they actively participate in maritime rescues, disaster prevention and control, educate fishermen about maritime laws, and collaborate with other forces to maintain security in the mooring areas for fishing vessels.
