In the dry season of 2022 - 2023, the work of surveying, searching and collecting martyrs' remains encountered many difficulties due to the harsh climate and weather. The Team's operating areas were mainly the enemy's previous key targets; information about martyrs' graves was increasingly scarce, mainly located in high mountains and deep forests; the terrain was complex, and roads were very difficult to travel...
However, with the attention, direction and facilitation of the Military Region 515 Steering Committee, Nghe An Province 515 Steering Committee and the Party Committees, authorities, armed forces and people of the three provinces, the officers and staff of the Martyrs Gathering Team have overcome all difficulties and successfully completed the assigned tasks.
