A Quang Tri official described the PP – PF programme as a practical initiative that enhances mutual understanding, builds trust and expands cooperation in humanitarian assistance, disaster response and community support.
Under the PP-PF 26, US and Vietnamese experts will hold professional exchanges spanning disaster response, public health, epidemic prevention, unexploded ordnance clearance, veterinary services, infrastructure construction and cultural exchanges.
The two-hectare range broke ground in July 2024, supported by a grant of over 700,000 USD from the US Government. It has classrooms, kitchen and sanitation blocks, assembly zones, mine detection and disposal areas, parking spaces, internal roads, and a calibration zone for mine clearance equipment.
The exercises will focus on enhancing combined operations between their armies, large-scale manoeuvres, live-fire exercises and territorial defence.
