Truong Sa, the season of troop rotation.

(Baonghean) - Every spring, as Tet approaches, the islands of Truong Sa district become bustling and lively with the usual troop rotation and withdrawal. After a journey of many days avoiding storms, with waves crashing against the deck, on December 20, 2012, the ship HQ 936, belonging to Brigade 146, Region 4 of the Navy, brought us to Toc Tan Island, Truong Sa archipelago.

Major Nguyen Van Quang bids farewell to his daughter Minh Thu before departing for Da Tay Island.
