Safeguarding security through unsung duties

Chemical testing at the Southern Guard Department (Department 180) under the Guard Command plays an important role in ensuring the safety of Party and State leaders and international guests through the testing of food and water supplies. In response to increasingly sophisticated toxic threats, the unit is gradually shifting from manual testing to modern analytical equipment, enhancing its ability to detect and prevent potential risks at an early stage and from a distance. Every stage of the testing process requires a high degree of accuracy and care, helping ensure the absolute safety of those under guard protection. Photo: Hong Dat - VNA
