PANO - Dubbed the “Steel Brigade,” Brigade 162 of Naval Region 4 under the Vietnam People’s Navy consistently stands as a standard-bearer in the “Determined to Win” emulation movement of the force.

As the Navy’s leading modern surface combat unit, the brigade is tasked with training, combat readiness, and protection of the national sovereignty over the South Central waters, the Truong Sa (Spratly) archipelago, and the Southern continental shelf.

Despite numerous challenges, the brigade’s Party Committee and chain-of-command have led the unit to successfully fulfill all assigned missions. Officers an soldiers maintain a spirit of solidarity and innovation, mastering modern weaponry while building a “comprehensively strong, exemplary, and typical” unit.

Beyond combat readiness training, Brigade 162 is a pioneer in digital transformation, effectively applying artificial intelligence (AI) software in the Party and political work. Notably, during “Quang Trung Campaign,” the unit’s troops have worked through weekends to help flood-hit communities rebuild their houses. Technical and logistical operations are strictly maintained, ensuring high technical coefficients for vessels and self-supplying 50% of the unit’s green vegetable needs, contributing to a 98.8% troop health rate.
