Episode 11 of the 2025 Military Training Program realistically recreates rescue and relief missions. The artists undergo challenges such as building dikes and rescuing people, strongly spreading the spirit of serving the people.
Episode 11 of the 2025 Military Training Program delivered touching moments, vividly portraying the spirit of "serving the people" of soldiers in peacetime. Through challenging rescue and relief tasks, the participating artists had the opportunity to experience hardship and sacrifice, thereby spreading a meaningful message about the role of the military in protecting the property and lives of the people.
River rescue mission: Endurance and teamwork.
In the raft rescue practice, the artist-soldiers faced a simulated scenario where they had to paddle a raft into the middle of a "turbulent current" to rescue people and bring livestock to safety. This task required not only endurance and quick reflexes but also seamless teamwork.
The two teams participating in the challenge were: Trang Pháp, Chi Pu, Bình An, and Trương Nam Thành; and Độ Mixi, Duy Khánh, Diệu Nhi, and Hậu Hoàng. Amidst the tense atmosphere, Duy Khánh brought laughter to the training ground by shouting: "Do you want someone to rescue you? Take the initiative and swim back a little!" Although humorous, this action still showed the tireless efforts of him and his teammates.
Sharing his thoughts on the mission, Binh An said: “This is a very sacred mission. I didn't focus on time but prioritized safety and efficiency in the rescue.” With that spirit, his team completed the task in 15 minutes and 40 seconds and received praise from the commander for their calmness and effective coordination, always putting the safety of the people first.
Dike-building sports competition: Recreating the battle against natural disasters.
The second part of the competition, the dike-building and flood control exercise, realistically recreated the soldiers' struggle during the rainy season. The soldiers had to transport, tie, and build hundreds of sandbags under harsh weather conditions with heavy rain and strong winds.
The two competing teams, consisting of Xuan Phuc, PewPew, Cara, and Huong Giang, and Diep Lam Anh, Tim, Huynh Anh, Ky Duyen, and Linh Ngoc Dam, demonstrated unwavering determination and refused to give up despite declining physical strength. PewPew suffered from heatstroke and was almost unable to stand, requiring assistance from the military medic. However, he still managed to encourage himself: "It's okay, I'm fine. I'll use whatever strength I have left."
Artist Cara couldn't hide her emotion: "Even though it was just a simulation, I truly felt the hardship and sacrifice of the soldiers." As a result, the team of Xuan Phuc, Cara, and Huong Giang won with a performance of building 95 standard sandbags in 26 minutes and 39 seconds.
The affirmation of a soldier of Uncle Ho's army.
At the end of the competition, Company Commander Bui Trung Kien shared some meaningful thoughts, emphasizing that "Every animal must be saved because they are the property of the people." His affirmation, "Our army is a people's army - originating from the people, fighting for the people," touched the hearts of everyone present.
The image of the artists covered in mud, exhausted but still smiling, became the highlight of episode 11. They were not just participating in a television program, but were also living and experiencing the full spirit of dedication and courage of the soldiers of Uncle Ho.
