The hardships of forest rangers in Military Region 9

The West is in the rainy season, but for the soldiers of Division 4 (Military Region 9), they are always on duty at the guard posts, patrolling, protecting the green color of thousands of hectares of cajuput forests. Tearing through the quiet space, the boat took us to visit the forest guard posts of Regiment 10.

Reporters of the People's Army Newspaper send readers some pictures of forest rangers in Military Region 9:

The forest area is close to people's rice fields, so patrolling and guarding is a regular job.

In recent years, the unit has also invested in large capacity pumps to protect the forest.

Check the pump before practicing forest fire prevention and fighting plan.

The pump float is very convenient for moving on canals.

Maintaining practice of forest fire prevention and control plans is a regular job of forest rangers.

Thanks to that initiative, for many years there has been no encroachment or deforestation, and no forest fires have occurred in the area managed by the unit.

The forest rangers have spent so much sweat and effort over the past time, bringing purity to nature, protecting the safety of the green lungs and peace for the people on the southwestern border of our beloved Fatherland.
