PANO - Co To Island Battalion of Infantry Brigade 242 under Military Region 3 is stationed on an island with special strategic importance.

The weather on Co To Island, Quang Ninh province during this season is unusually harsh. It is scotching hot during the day and cold at night. The island faces looming threats of typhoons from the East Sea (South China Sea).

Despite these challenges, the officers and soldiers of Co To Island Battalion stay united, overcoming all difficulties while upholding the admirable traditions of the Uncle Ho's soldiers. They consistently enhance their capabilities in defense and security, closely coordinate with other forces to maintain political stability, ensure social order and safety in the district, and stand alongside the people in overcoming consequences of natural disasters.
