This is the first time the Vietnam People's Navy has participated in an international arena. When he was assigned the task, Duy realized that this was a huge challenge, requiring himself and the entire team to try their best. The competitors in the Army Games are all countries with modern navies, having participated in 3 seasons.

However, the achievements of the tank team of the Vietnam People's Army made other teams admire. That has added strength and confidence to Senior Lieutenant Duy and his teammates in the competition.

Senior Lieutenant Nguyen Tien Duy said that to achieve high efficiency in training, the training segment has to be strict and scientific with 5 phases. Each phase is aimed at improving the comprehensive capacity of the team as well as the ability to handle situations in practice and competition.

"Every day after each training session, we draw experiences, organize seminars to find the most optimal competition plan. The requirement for each member in the team is to study and understand the conditions, topographical characteristics, hydrometeorology at the competition area. We need to understand the regulations, conditions, and diagrams of each test to advise, propose plans, and build the most convenient, and accurate route for the ship," said Senior Lieutenant Nguyen Tien Duy.
