During a difficult and demanding journey, Team K93, tasked with searching, collecting, and repatriating the remains of Vietnamese volunteer soldiers and advisors who laid down their lives while conducting international service in Cambodia, has upheld unwavering determination and strong commitment to the mission.
The members' unsung dedication has not only helped heal the pain of war, but also strengthened the Vietnam-Cambodia friendship and honored the noble spirit of comradeship. Since 2001, the team has recovered 2,141 sets of martyrs’ remains, of which 251 have been identified.
During the 2024-2025 season, Team K93 conducted operations at 42 locations, recovering 56 sets of remains, including 51 in Cambodia and five in Vietnam. Among these, two were identified.
